A Mass in the Anal Canal Found to be Poorly Differentiated Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are malignancies most often found in the colon, lung, pancreas, or thyroid. We describe a rare case of an NEC found in the anal canal of a 68-year-old woman. We also explore a list of differential diagnoses that should be

Hydrogen Sulfide Donor GYY4137 Acts Through Endothelial Nitric Oxide to Protect Intestine in Murine Models of Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Intestinal Ischemia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants is often a devastating surgical condition with poor outcomes. GYY4137 is a long-acting donor of hydrogen sulfide, a gasotransmitter that is protective against intestinal injury in ...

Heterotaxy: fluctuat nec mergitur [PDF]
AbstractThe International Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code (IPCCC) states thatvisceral heterotaxyis defined as “a congenital malformation in which the internal thoraco-abdominal organs demonstrate abnormal arrangement across the left-right axis of the body. By convention, in congenital cardiology, heterotaxy syndrome does not include patients with

Cytokine gene polymorphisms in preterm infants with necrotising enterocolitis: genetic association study [PDF]
BACKGROUND The inflammatory cytokine cascade is implicated in the pathogenesis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Genetic association studies of cytokine polymorphisms may help to detect molecular mechanisms that are causally related to the disease ...

Saturation of the Quantum Null Energy Condition in Far-From-Equilibrium Systems [PDF]
The Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC) is a new local energy condition that a general Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is believed to satisfy, relating the classical null energy condition (NEC) to the second functional derivative of the entanglement entropy ...

Potential novel therapy targets in neuroendocrine carcinomas of the breast [PDF]
Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the breast is a rare, special type of breast cancer, reportedly constituting 2% to 5% of all breast cancers. Although breast NEC does not have a specific targeted therapy, several new targeted therapies based on specific
