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.

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
