Article Synopsis
- - Esophageal adenoid cystic carcinoma (EACC) is a rare and aggressive tumor, making up only 0.2% of all esophageal cancers, and is characterized by ductal and modified myoepithelial cells.
- - A case study of a 69-year-old woman showed that EACC was diagnosed through preoperative biopsy, but due to pleural metastasis, surgical resection was not performed; she instead received palliative care and chemoradiotherapy.
- - The prognosis for EACC is uncertain, with outcomes varying based on factors like lymph node involvement and vascular invasion, highlighting the need for more research due to its rare and aggressive nature.
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a debilitating and often painful condition. They are localized lesions on the skin and/or underlying tissues and are common in the elderly, people with mobility difficulties, diabetics, and vascular disease or malnutrition, as well as in those requiring intensive or palliative care. The prevention and treatment of PUs involve strategies to optimize hydration, circulation, and nutrition.

While these actions can be stereotyped, it is advantageous for survival that they are flexible. For example, escape probability depends on predation risk and competing motivations, and flight to safety requires continuous adjustments of trajectory and must terminate at the appropriate place and time.

NEE and ER are derived by measuring the temporal variation of CO concentration obtained by the enclosed chamber method. We used a customised portable non-steady-state dynamic flux chamber, paired with an InfraRed Gas Analyser (IRGA) and a portable weather station, measuring CO fluxes at a number of points (around 20 per site and per day) within five different sites during the snow-free season (June to October).
