Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the rapid disintegration of a malignant tumor treated with anticancer drugs or radiation, causing electrolyte abnormalities such as elevated uric acid levels, elevated potassium and phosphorus levels, and decreased calcium levels. These abnormalities can lead to hypotension, renal dysfunction, consciousness disorders, and even death in some cases. The current patient was a 65-year-old woman who had breast cancer with local invasion, lung metastasis, and bone metastasis from the time of the initial disease onset.

- The study highlights the role of robots in facilitating active learning among students, particularly in an asynchronous setting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Researchers enhanced the UGA (User Generated Agent) system to enable children to share book recommendations through a robot installed in an elementary school, allowing for long-term engagement.
- Over the year-long experiment, the robot maintained student interest and promoted collaborative behaviors, such as peer mentoring and increased technological engagement, despite social interaction limitations caused by the pandemic.
Background: A variety of factors for short- and long-term outcomes have been reported after radical resection for gastric cancer (GC). Obesity and emaciation had been reported to be a cause of poor short- and long-term outcomes with gastrointestinal cancer. However, the indicators are still controversial.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data on 121 consecutive patients who underwent PD between January 2009 and December 2018. The perioperative data of 49 patients who underwent conventional PD (conventional group) and 72 patients who underwent PD via artery-first approach were analyzed and compared to assess the effectiveness of the AFA.
Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a relatively rare mesenchymal tumor that mainly affects adults. Its prognosis is good after curative resection, but distant recurrences after 10 years or longer have been reported. Recurrent SFT usually arises as a local lesion; distant metastasis is rarely reported.
