Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition02:33

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

19.9K
Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

6.4K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
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...

Simplified Synchronous Machine Model

760
The Synchronous Machine Model is a fundamental tool in analyzing and ensuring the transient stability of power systems. This model simplifies the representation of a synchronous machine under balanced three-phase positive-sequence conditions, assuming constant excitation and ignoring losses and saturation. The model is pivotal for understanding the behavior of synchronous generators connected to a power grid, particularly during transient events.
In this model, each generator is connected to a...

Three-Phase Short Circuit—Unloaded Synchronous Machine01:21

Three-Phase Short Circuit—Unloaded Synchronous Machine

684
Conducting a three-phase short circuit test on an unloaded synchronous machine helps understand its impact on the system. The AC fault current's oscillogram, with the DC offset removed, reveals that the waveform amplitude decreases from an initially high value to a steady-state level for one phase of the machine.
This behavior occurs due to the magnetic flux produced by the short-circuit armature currents. Initially, these currents follow high-reluctance paths but eventually shift to...

Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition01:02

Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition

3.0K
Microtubules are small hollow tubes in eukaryotic cells. The cell wall microtubules are polymerized dimers of two globular proteins, α-tubulin and β-tubulin, two globular proteins. With a diameter of about 25 nm, microtubules are the widest components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell resist compression and provide a track along which vesicles move through the cell or pull replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell. Microtubules go through quick cycles of...

Primary Active Transport01:47

Primary Active Transport

197.5K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

Summary

Synchronous primary malignancies are rare but increasingly detected. Accurate diagnosis through clinical examination and histopathology is crucial for appropriate curative treatment, avoiding palliative care assumptions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Synchronous primary malignancies are uncommon but detection is increasing with advanced imaging.
  • Misinterpreting a second primary tumor as metastasis can lead to inappropriate palliative treatment.
  • Awareness and accurate diagnosis are vital for optimal patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of recognizing synchronous primary malignancies.
  • To emphasize the role of clinical examination and histopathology in diagnosis.
  • To guide appropriate treatment strategies for these rare cases.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective descriptive study.
  • Review of patients diagnosed with synchronous primary tumors between January 2016 and November 2017.
  • Analysis of diagnostic methods including clinical examination and imaging.

Main Results:

  • Ten cases of synchronous primary malignancies (20 tumors total) were identified.
  • Lung and gastrointestinal malignancies were most common.
  • Three patients received curative-intent treatment despite multiple primary tumors.

Conclusions:

  • The possibility of synchronous second primary malignancy must be considered for unusual distant deposits.
  • Histopathological evaluation is essential to differentiate primary tumors from metastases.
  • Accurate diagnosis ensures correct staging and appropriate treatment, potentially curative.
