In the last decade, major advances have been achieved in the treatment of rectal cancer. Results of randomized controlled trials have led to the introduction of total mesorectal excision and preoperative (chemo) radiotherapy as a standard multimodal treatment approach. By combining these different treatment modalities,…

The perception of organizational injustice may trigger off a questioning of the trust established between both partners (employer and employee), which may cause a breach of the psychological contract and encourage the emergence of problems within the organization (doubt, mistrust, antisocial behavior, etc.).

We report the case of 3 mediastinal  teratomas, 1 intrapericardial immature and 2 mediastinal grade 0,  diagnosed in the 38th week of gestation (intrapericardial immature) in the last stage of pregnancy (mature mediastinal). The surgical resection of the masses was successfully undertaken shortly after birth. The histological description of tumor after excision has reported immature multicystic teratoma Grade 2 of 3, with immature neural tissue and without yolk sac tumor cells (for the intrapericardial case) and mature tissue grade 0 large masses, with all tissues represented at histology (for the extrapericardial…
