An Overview of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors and an Update on Endoscopic Techniques for Their Management

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Update on prognostic and predictive biomarkers for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) describe a heterogeneous group of tumors with a wide range of morphologic, functional, and behavioral characteristics. These tumors are often indolent but they have the potential to cause symptoms through release of hormones and through local or distant spread. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) represent a subset of NETs and they have a unique pattern of sympt...

Endoscopic ultrasonography: impact in diagnosis, staging and management of pancreatic tumors. An overview.

Update on novel therapies for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: 2013.

Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (pNETs) are classified on the basis of their differentiation as well as the functional status. Current treatment options for non resectable disease include everolimus, sunitinib, somatostatin analogs and chemotherapy. A number of trials with novel compounds and drug combinations were reported at the recent ASCO Annual Meeting. Pasireotide is a novel somatos...
