The article describes a rare case of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium in a 67-year-old woman. According to the literature, only about 90 such observations have been described worldwide. Histological examination revealed three necessary features: the small-cell nature of the tumor, the presence of epithelial and neuroendocrine markers.

The coupling is enhanced significantly at moderate hole doping (∼10^{13} cm^{-2}) due to hexagonal warping of the Fermi surface. While the system remains dynamically stable, its electron-phonon spectral function exhibits sharp low-energy resonances, leading to the formation of satellite quasiparticle states near the Fermi energy.

A strong change in the reflection coefficient of the mirrors (up to 0.9%) was found when water vapor under a pressure of 23 mbar was injected into the cell, which was interpreted as a change in the refraction index of the layers of multilayer coatings when water vapor penetrated into the porous coating structure.

The complete assignment of proton resonances was performed in the DQF-COSY, TOCSY, and NOESY spectra of this peptide, and its spatial structure was computed.

Activities of the peptides were studied by solid-phase indirect radioimmunoassay on polyethylene film with purified immunoglobulins against intact FMD virus. Virtually no cross reactions were observed.
