It is defined as high-grade carcinoma exhibiting neuroendocrine differentiation. The authors describe 70-year-old woman, with vulvar small cell after superficial vulvectomy. patient was submitted surgery wide local...
The combination of techniques such as two-dimensional mass spectrometry and analysed ion kinetic energy (with without collision gas) in the study gas-phase chemistry indole, gramine, tryptamine serotonine enabled us to establish fragmentation pathways their singly- doubly-charged molecular ions generated by electron impact. measurement released charge separation reactions dications produced information on intercharge distance transition state for fragmentation, assuming that it arises...
Hospital admissions for pneumonia, one of the most frequent complications influenza, are more common in children and elderly individuals with chronic disease. Portugal's Northern Health Region is country's five health regions, its 3.3 million inhabitants represent approximately third population.

Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a rare high-grade vascular neoplasm with poor prognosis. We present an anticoagulated 77-year-old man, history of popliteal/soleal vein thrombosis in the previous month, complaining ipsilateral persistent lower limb pain and claudication. Absent popliteal/distal pulses prompted arterial doppler ultrasound (DUS), revealing distal superficial femoral artery popliteal mass. As wall's integrity could not be appropriately evaluated by DUS, adventitial cystic disease...
<h3>Background:</h3> Nintedanib is an intracellular inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases. It the current standard treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), Systemic Sclerosis-associated and progressive fibrosis. associated with a significant reduction in forced vital capacity (FVC) decline pivotal trials.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for most of the hepatic neoplasms and can also occur in ectopic liver tissue. We present a case 55-year-old male complaining weight loss. The imaging studies reported 2.9 cm nodule pancreatic body, with neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis by cytology. A corpo-caudal pancreatectomy was performed. Pathology showed well-differentiated HCC developed tissue free margins no lymph node metastases. presenting is rare. In this case, preoperative study did not...

METHODS: In 2017, we conducted an audit on management infection control measures against ESTC standards. reference centres five EU/EEA countries were purposely selected to represent heterogeneous burden examine geographic variability. RESULTS: Data from 122 patients, diagnosed between...
