Computational insights into spin-polarized density functional theory applied to actinide-based perovskites XBkO₃ (X = Sr, Ra, Pb).

The exploration of perovskite compounds incorporating actinide and divalent elements reveals remarkable characteristics. Focusing on PbBkO, RaBkO, and SrBkO, these materials were studied using density functional theory (DFT) via the CASTEP code to analyze their electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. The results show semiconductor behavior, with respective band gaps of 1.

Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma: Immunohistochemical Classification According to Hans Algorithm and Association With Outcome in A Moroccan Institution.

Unusual intracystic papilloma arising from ectopic axillary breast tissue: Case report.

Accessory breast tissue (supernumerary breast tissue) is due to the absence of regression of the primitive milk lines during embryonic life which extends from the axilla to the groin. It is mostly located in the axilla where it is often confused with the axillary extension of the breast, or any pathological process occurring in armpits. Ectopic mammary glands should not be misdiagnosed as it can potentially undergo the same pathological processes that occur in a normally located breast including benign or malignant breast tumors.

ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCAL DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR PAEDIATRIC ABDOMINAL-PELVIS AND CHEST-ABDOMINAL-PELVIS COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN MOROCCO: SUGGESTS THE NEED FOR IMPROVED OPTIMIZATION EFFORTS.
