A retrospective study was conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of \"Prof. Dr. Dan Theodorescu\" Clinical Hospital in Bucharest, Romania, involving 160 consecutive patients diagnosed with refractory, established antiresorptive drug-related osteonecrosis of the jaw between 2022 and 2024.

Bone healing outcomes were assessed based on the extent of exposed necrotic bone.

The cytotoxicity and morphological changes of A253 and HaCaT cells were evaluated using the MTT assay and brightfield microscopy. The HET-CAM assay was applied to evaluate the irritant effects of the compounds in ovo. Both KA and EA reduced A253 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, with the highest cytotoxicity observed at 100 µM. In contrast, HaCaT cells maintained high viability and exhibited no notable morphological alterations post-treatment, supporting the selectivity of the compounds. HET-CAM scores for both KA and EA fell within the non-irritant range (IS=0.07), further confirming their biosafety. KA and EA exhibit promising antitumor activity against A253 salivary gland carcinoma cells, with minimal toxicity toward normal epithelial cells and no significant irritation potential.

Notably, men and women often present with distinct symptomatology. Among neuropsychiatric disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common and functionally impairing condition in childhood, affecting approximately 5% of minors. Its persistence into adulthood is substantial, with prevalence estimates reaching up to 3% in adult populations. ADHD is characterized by dysregulated dopaminergic signaling, which disrupts reward processing and motivation. Additionally, disturbances in circadian rhythms contribute to sleep dysregulation and metabolic dysfunction, further exacerbating symptom severity. While both mechanisms have been well-documented, their interaction remains insufficiently explored, particularly regarding its implications for diagnosis and treatment optimization. Future research should systematically examine the interplay between dopaminergic and noradrenergic dysfunction and circadian disruptions in ADHD, particularly in relation to symptom expression and comorbid conditions. Experimental paradigms assessing reward processing may provide valuable insights into dopamine and norepinephrine system alterations, while chronotherapeutic interventions-such as light therapy, sleep regulation, and behavioral adjustments-hold promise as potential therapeutic strategies. By integrating perspectives from neurobiology, chronobiology, and psychopharmacology, a more refined and individualized approach to ADHD management can be developed.
