The patient was a 70-year-old man who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma of the antrum. One year after surgery, the patient developed a recurrence in the cardia lymph nodes. Following chemotherapy, the patient underwent a total resection of the remnant stomach and recurrent lymph nodes 2 years and 10 months after the resection of the primary tumor.

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective observational study following the checklist of the Consensus-Based Standards for Selecting Health Measurement Instruments. The SCI-FAI consists of three items: Gait Parameter, Assistive Devices, and Temporal.
Article Synopsis
- Deep learning techniques have advanced the automated and precise analysis of musculoskeletal (MSK) structures in medical images, though many current methods are limited to 2D images and small datasets.
- This study focused on validating an enhanced deep learning model for volumetric segmentation of hip and thigh structures in CT images, utilizing a diverse set of databases to ensure broader applicability.
- The improved model demonstrated superior segmentation accuracy and reliable failure detection through predictive uncertainty, indicating its potential for effective analysis of MSK structures in large-scale clinical settings.
The introduction of multiple trifluoromethyl (CF) groups into aromatic compounds remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report an unprecedented visible light-promoted multiple trifluoromethylation of phenols using commercially available CFI. The key to success lies in our discovery of a "continuous activation strategy" that enables sequential trifluoromethylations through single-electron transfer from photoexcited phenoxide to CFI until all or positions are occupied.
