BACKGROUND Owing to its rarity, the published evidence on gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoid is often based on small series of patients or population-based studies regarding all neuroendocrine tumors. Here, we present a comprehensive epidemiological and survival analysis of the largest cohort of patients with GI carcinoid ever reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with histological diagnosis o...

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(31)H(30)Cl(2)N(4)O(4))Cl(2)]·CH(3)CN, was synthesized by cyclo-condensation between N,N'-bis-(2-fur-yl)-N,N'-bis-(3-formyl-5-chloro-salicylaldehyde)ethyl-enediamine and 1,3-diamino-propane in the presence of Cu(II) ions. It is an unsymmetrical dinuclear Cu(II) complex. The coordination geometry for each Cu(II) atom can be discribed as distorted square-pyramidal. The...
