Malignancy in a Family with Carney’s Complex| Stephy Publishers

 


Journal of Clinical Diabetes and Endocrinology| Stephy Publishers

Abstract

Carney Complex is a genetic disease characterized by skin lentigenes and freckling and the growth of benign tumors in endocrine glands as well as cardiac myxoma. Malignant tumors in Carney’s Complex are extremely rare with few other case reports. We report the rare occurrence of ovarian malignancy and thyroid carcinoma separately in 2 out of 3 family members diagnosed with Carney Complex.

Keywords: Carney Complex, Cardiac myoxomata, Eendocrine tumors, Chemotherapy, Malignant tumor

Learning Points

a) The importance of thoroughly screening all lesions in Carney’s Complex rather than dismissing them as benign, as there is still a possibility for the lesion to be malignant.

b) Malignant tumors in Carney’s complex can arise from any organ, which in the index case presented with multiple tumors over many years culminating in an ovarian malignant tumor, whereas the sister developed a thyroid malignancy.

c) Acromegaly occurring in multiple members of a family should raise the suspicion of Carney’s complex to the treating clinician.

d) All other family members of a patient presenting with Carney’s Complex should be screened as they are at risk of also developing Carney’s complex.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
