Geochemical dataset of laterites soils in Koubou gold district (Zone A) East Cameroon: Implication for identification of gold pathfinder elements.

The study zone (A) located in the Koubou Gold district is situated between latitudes 4° 36' to 4° 42' N and longitudes 14° 08' to 14° 11' E, composing of mostly Gneiss and Granodiorite bed rocks. To determine the relationship between gold and selected pathfinder elements (As, Mo, Ag, Sn, Sb, Te, W, Bi, Ni, Cu, Sb, Nb, Ta, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb) in the laterite soils of the Koubou gold district, East region of Cameroon, a lithogeochemical dataset from the laterites were utilized. The lithogeochemical dataset were realized through the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method, while multi-statistical methods of factor analyses, principal component analyses and hierarchical clustering employed to show the relationship between the gold mineral and selected pathfinder minerals.

Neurotensin and Its Involvement in Female Hormone-Sensitive Cancers.

Neurotensin (NT) is a peptide involved in digestion, neuromodulation, and cancer progression. NT and its receptors (NTR1 and SORT1 mainly) have been widely studied in oncology. Data show that NT expression is under the control of sex steroid hormones, in particular estradiol.

The challenge of ovarian cancer care in the oldest old.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer in women, with a poor prognosis, particularly in older women. The aim of this study was to describe an octogenarian population with OC and to examine the differences in net survival (NS) according to age.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective observational population-based study from a gynecological cancer registry, patients aged > 18 years with an identified epithelial ovarian cancer stage IA to IVB diagnosed between 1998 and 2018 were included.
