Successful Surgical Management of Giant, Shamblin III Carotid Body Tumor (CBT) on a Male With 5 Years of Follow-Up: Case Report and Literature Review on Giant CBT.

Background: Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare neoplasm that arises from the chemoreceptor cells located at the carotid bifurcation. Giant CBTs are extremely rare, with only 16 cases reported to date.

Case Summary: A 63-year-old male with an unremarkable medical history presented with a right-sided, giant, Shamblin III CBT.

Homologous chromosome associations in domains before meiosis could facilitate chromosome recognition and pairing in wheat.

The increasing human population demands an increase in crop yields that must be implemented through breeding programmes to ensure a more efficient and sustainable production of agro-food products. In the framework of breeding, genetic crosses are developed between cultivated species such as wheat and their relative species that are used as genetic donors to transfer desirable agronomic traits into the crop. Unfortunately, interspecific associations between chromosomes from the donor species and the cultivar are rare during meiosis, the process to produce gametes in organisms with sexual reproduction, hampering the transfer of genetic variability into wheat.
