Abstract:
Multiple lung carcinomas are 5 to 11,5% of lung carcinomas. The distinction between primary lung carcinomas from carcinomas with intrapulmonary metastasis is essential for optimal patient management. The histopathological analysis is very useful but it has to be completed by genotypic assessment using molecular biology (NGS). Molecular biology can also identify genetic alterations with therapeutic implications. We present the case of a patient with a history of surgery for multiple lung carcinomas diagnosed from 2013 to 2017.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

01:25Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
01:25Multiple Voltage Sources
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...
