Neuroendocrine Tumours: Overview and Classification
Neuroendocrine tumours, also known as NETs, are malignant neoplasms arising from neuroendocrine cells. They can occur in various endocrine and non-endocrine organs, with common sites being the lung, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and more. Classification is based on grades and Ki67 index, with different subtypes like WD-NET, SC NEC, LC NEC, and MiNENs. The presentation includes hormonal and mass effects, while etiology involves genetic factors like MEN-1 and VHL. Differentiation between G3 NET and NEC is crucial, with distinct morphological and clinical characteristics. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy based on the grade of the tumour.

Interactions between marine litter and the blue economy Ministerial Declaration related progress Policies and strategies at national/regional level Projects and initiatives at national/regional level Prevention measures and circular approaches StrategicPlan: Aqaba Special EconomicZone Authority2024 - 2028 Aqaba Solid Waste Project Raising awareness and addressing marine litter including microplastics National Training on Marine Littermonitoringand mitigation. PlasticBusters CAP Mitigation measures were also applied on the beach, where containers for sorting solid wastes were distributed on several beaches in Aqaba. Through beach litter analysis, we found that cigarette butts are major pollutants on the beach with thousands of butts found in small beach area. Therefore, to mitigate this problem, special yellow-cigarette ash trays were distributed on a number of beaches as well as in the University of Jordan and Marine Science station. The goal behind this is to reduce this type of beach pollutants and at the same time raise public awareness among uses and beach visitors as well as students on this important beach pollutant. Public awareness was also been included in posters that were distributed wherever it was allowed to. At the end of the project, an International Conference was organized with about 150 participants who have participated through personal attendance to conference venue, while many others have attended virtually. Participants represented several European and African countries. Project (Eni CBC Med Project). Training Course. Monitoring Activities. International Conference Other
