Anthropogenic emission inventory and spatial analysis of greenhouse gases and primary pollutants for the Galapagos Islands.

Climate change and air pollution are critical challenges that humanity is currently facing. Understanding the sources of emissions released into the atmosphere is of great importance to evaluate the local footprint, the impacts of human activities, and the opportunities to develop and implement solutions to mitigate emissions and adapt to climate change particularly in vulnerable places like the Galapagos Islands. In this study, we present an anthropogenic emissions inventory for Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, and Isabela Islands in which emissions were spatially mapped for greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and primary pollutants (PP).

Mucinous Adenocarcinoma With Intrapulmonary Metastasis Harboring KRAS and GNAS Mutations Arising in Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation.

Objectives: Mucinous adenocarcinoma arising in unresected congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is rare. Underlying driver mutations in addition to KRAS gain-of-function mutations in this setting and the long-term outcomes of these patients are unknown.

Methods: We report a case of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma harboring both KRAS and GNAS mutations arising in a type 1 CPAM of a 14-year-old male.
