Abstract
This work responds to what was reported in various audio-visual media channels and to queries and explanations from individuals and local residents on the causes of gaseous and thermal emissions from the Earth near the vicinity of the village of Al-Hindaw in Dakhla city, New Valley Governorate, Egypt. At the location of the fume exit area, magnetic, seismic, and electromagnetic geophysical investigations were carried out to identify the factor(s) responsible for the event in question. Rock samples were collected and studied geochemically and radiographically to assess their chemical compositions, as well as the quantity of organic chemicals that may have contributed to the burning and temperature increase. In light of the results of the geochemical and geophysical research, it is believed that the self-ignitions are the result of near-surface reactions and oxidation instead of volcanic activity, such as the presence of magma or other comparable phenomena.

Abstract
An 82-year-old man, who 7 years previously had been treated for adenocarcinoma of the prostate, was found to have developed a small cell (oat cell) carcinoma of prostate, which presented with liver metastases. The expression of different neuroendo crine markers in these carcinomas is presented, the histogenesis of small cell carcinoma is discussed, and the relevant literature is reviewed. The importance of the recognition of small cell carcinoma of the prostate is emphasized because of the influence of small cell carcinoma on the prognosis. Int J Surg Pathol 2(3):237-244, 1995
