Invasive Melanoma: The Treatment-Resistant Skin Cancer with the Deadly Reputation | Stephy publishers

Abstract
Although melanoma accounts for less than a tenth of all skin cancers, it is responsible for three quarters of skin cancer deaths. It has a more aggressive nature, tendency to metastasise and is more resistant to anti-cancer therapies than non-melanoma skin cancer. The more common skin malignancies arise from the epidermal keratinocytes but the melanoma arises from the melanocyte, sitting on the dermo-epidermal junction. The difference is the neural crest origin of the melanocyte. Cells of neural crest origin are characterised by being heterogeneous, multipotent, mobile, having a high degree of plasticity and, in development and disease able to demonstrate epidermal to mesenchymal transition. The evolutionary deployment of the neural crest cells allowed early chordate species to transform from thin sessile filter feeders into the more mobile, active, and predatory vertebrates, demonstrating adaptation to a wider range of environmental niches. Mature cells of neural crest origin can also, in certain circumstances, be induced to revert to a precursor, stem cell-like state to access plasticity and immune-modulation. These characteristics can be manipulated to the advantage of the melanoma cell mass to increase tumour invasiveness and progression.

Keywords: Melanoma, Multipotent cells, Neural crest, Ocellus

 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:
