Pure primary neuroendocrine tumor of the prostate: a rare entity.

Clin Genitourin Cancer

Department of Urology, CHU Habib Bourguiba, Rue Majida Boulila, Sfax, Tunisia.

Published: June 2006

An extrapulmonary neuroendocrine tumor arising in the prostate gland has been described in several case series; however, pure and primary prostatic neuroendocrine tumors are very rare, their biologic behavior is not yet well known, and there are only a few reports in the literature describing the clinical features and management of this neoplasm. This article presents the clinicopathologic findings of 2 patients presenting with this disease. The published reports of primary pure neuroendocrine prostate tumors are discussed.

Microorganisms that utilize organic matter to reduce Fe oxides/hydroxides constitute the primary geochemical processes controlling the formation of high-arsenic (As) groundwater. Biogenic secondary iron minerals play a significant role in As migration. However, the influence of quinone electron shuttles and competitive anionic phosphate on this process has not been thoroughly studied.

The performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) bioreactors treating sulfate (SO) -rich effluents depends on multiple factors, including microbial interactions and operational conditions. The high complexity of these systems necessitates the use of mathematical modelling tools to better understand the process and predict the long-term impacts of various operational variables. In this work, a mathematical model describing the long-term operation of a sulfate-fed 2.

Background: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) encompass entities with different cellular differentiation and degrees of malignancy. Spatial heterogeneity complicates diagnosis and grading of PNSTs in some cases. In malignant PNST (MPNST) for example, single cell sequencing data has shown dissimilar differentiation states of tumor cells.

Essential oils (EOs) exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities; however, their clinical application is hindered by challenges, such as variability in chemical composition and chemical/physical instability. A critical limitation is the lack of chemical consistency across EO samples, which impedes standardization. Despite this, evidence suggests that EOs with differing chemical profiles often display similar (micro)biological activities, raising the possibility of standardizing EOs based on their biological effects rather than their chemical composition.
