Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), although relatively rare, account for 80% of mesenchymal the digestive tract. They manifest in any part alimentary tract and are derived from Cajal cells. may occur sporadically or be associated with familial syndromes such as neurofibromatosis type I. The clinical picture is variable, they often diagnosed incidentally. diagnosis requires im...

Background: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) arises from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Stomach is most common site GIST. The usual presentations GIST are gastrointestinal bleeding and abdominal pain. GISTs in duodenum uncommon. Duodenal obstruction due to even more usually detected on endoscopy, however they can be missed routine endoscopy if located third part duodenum. Computed Tomogr...

Data from diverse workflows is often too complex for an adequate analysis without visualization. One kind of data are multi-dimensional datasets, which can be visualized via a wide array of techniques. For instance, glyphs can be used to visualize individual datapoints. However, glyphs need to be actively looked at to be comprehended. This work explores a novel approach towards visualizing a si...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are a unique class of mesenchymal tumors identified within the past decade. Intense molecular and genetic study has been used to characterize these tumors and develop treatment strategies. Although the mainstay of treatment remains surgical resection, therapy targeted at inhibiting tyrosine kinases has had dramatic results. Because of the rapid accumulatio...

we report two cases of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gist) synchronous and metachronous, respectively, with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. to our knowledge, this is the first report of a gist involved 3 years after a ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. data from the literature and our cases seem to suggest that incidental gist may occur synchronously and metachronously with other cancers more fre...

When we observe an action, we know almost immediately what goal is pursued by the actor. Strikingly, this applies also to pretend action (pantomime), which provides relevant information about the manipulation itself but not about the manipulated objects. The present fMRI study addressed the issue of goal inference from pretend action as compared with real action. We found differences as well as...

Previous work suggests that visual long-term memory (VLTM) is highly detailed and has a massive capacity. However, memory performance is subject to the effects of the type of testing procedure used. The current study examines detail memory performance by probing the same memories within the same subjects, but using divergent probing methods. The results reveal that while VLTM representations ar...

In a short article called “Mid-Term Examination: Compare and Contrast” that epitomizes and concludes his book The Intentional Stance, D. C. Dennett (1987) provides a sketch of what he views as an emerging Interpretivist consensus in the philosophy of mind. The gist is that Brentano’s thesis is true (the intentional is irreducible to the physical) and that it follows from the truth of Brentano’s...
