Therapeutic Strategy for Functional Metastatic Malignant Paraganglioma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that arises outside of the adrenal gland, typically originating from the chromaffin tissue of the sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglia. It can manifest at any age, with a peak incidence occurring between 40 and 50 years old. When the tumor secretes catecholamines, it is referred to as "functional.

Localised breast cancer: neoadjuvant chemotherapy impact evaluation on the pathological complete response (PCR) in a lower middle-income country.

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery remains the current recommended therapeutic strategy for the management of locally advanced breast cancer. The standard chemotherapy protocol is sequential with anthracycline followed by taxanes. However public hospitals in Morocco are confronted with a shortage in healthcare products.

Metastatic Small Cell Carcinoma of a Male Breast: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Neuroendocrine breast cancers are rare tumors that were recognized as a distinct entity by WHO classification in 2003. It is much rarer in male breast cancer. Diagnosis is based on immunochemical analysis in which the expression of at least one neuroendocrine marker is required, associated with the exclusion of another primary site of the tumor.

Columnar and surface aerosol load over the Iberian Peninsula establishing annual cycles, trends, and relationships in five geographical sectors.

The study of atmospheric aerosol load over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) under a climatological perspective is accomplished by means of PM10 and AOD440 nm measurements from EMEP and AERONET networks, respectively, in the period 2000-2013. The PM10 annual cycles in five Iberian sectors show a main maximum in summer and a secondary maximum in spring, which is only observed in the southern area for the AOD climatology. The characteristics of PM10-AOD annual cycles of each geographical sector are explained by the different climatology of the air mass origins and their apportioning.
