The psychometric properties of the Korean version of the revised Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) remain undetermined; therefore, we aimed to evaluate the construct and convergent validity and reliability of the Korean version of the SCHFI in Korean patients with heart failure (HF). Using a cross-sectional design, 207 patients with HF provided data on self-care and self-efficacy in self-care for this psychometric testing. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of the Korean version with a three-factor structure: Self-Care Maintenance, Symptom Perception, and Self-Care Management. Convergent validity was supported by the significant relationships between self-efficacy and each scale of the Korean version of the SCHFI ( = .425-.549, < .001). The reliability estimates were marginally adequate, with a Cronbach's alpha of .655 to .776, McDonald's omega of .710 to .836, and composite reliability coefficients of .704 to .834. The SCHFI was supported as a valid and reliable measure of self-care for Koreans with HF. However, the marginal levels of the Cronbach's alpha coefficients still require validation in a larger sample.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes significant postoperative pain, necessitating effective multimodal analgesia strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy of the external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) in this context.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study conducted between April and December 2023 included 60 patients who underwent LSG.

Background: Regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia to the entire lateral abdomen are limited. We present a modified external oblique intercostal block for complete lateral abdominal analgesia with a single injection.
Case: We performed a modified version of the external oblique intercostal block unilaterally at the tenth rib along the mid-axillary line in three patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (two single injections, one catheter placement) and tested the technique on a cadaver with 20 ml of dye bilaterally.

Differences in demographics, medical expertise, and patient healthcare resources across countries have led to significant variations in guidelines. In light of these differences, in this review, we aimed to explore and compare the most recent updates to gastric cancer treatment from five guidelines that are available in English. These English-version guidelines, which have been recently published and updated for journal publication, include those published in South Korea in 2024, Japan in 2021, China in 2023, the United States in 2024, and Europe in 2024.
