Diagnostic challenges of pancreatic carcinoma presenting as acute pancreatitis: A case series and literature review.

Background: Pancreatic cancer can be challenging to diagnose, particularly when it presents with features resembling pancreatitis. Misdiagnosis can delay treatment and adversely affect patient outcomes. This case series highlights the diagnostic difficulties and clinical outcomes in patients initially diagnosed with pancreatitis, who were later found to have pancreatic malignancies such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Anion-Exchange Membranes' Characteristics and Catalysts for Alkaline Anion-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells.

This work aims at the effects of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) and ionomer binders on the catalyst electrodes for anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). In the experiments, four metal catalysts (nano-grade Pt, PtRu, PdNi and Ag), four AEMs (aQAPS-S8, AT-1, X37-50T and X37-50RT) and two alkaline ionomers (aQAPS-S14 and XB-7) were used. They were verified through several technical parameters examination and cell performance comparison for the optimal selection of AMEs.

Isolated Splenic Metastasis From Large-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Lung: A Case Report.

Splenic malignancies are mostly primary and lymphocytic. Metastases to the spleen are rare and imply tumor dissemination. Limited cases were reporting isolated splenic metastasis from non-small cell cancer of the lung (NSCLC).
