calcifying fibrous tumor (cft) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. cft of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric cfts reported in english literature. this benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

G stromal tumors are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and they account for less than 1% of gastrointestinal neoplasms. Most of these tumors may not originate from smooth muscles. With the advent of electron microscopy, interstitial cells of Cajal, a pleuropotential intestinal pacemaker cell, was found as the originator of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.1 The stomach is a common site ...

In this research, we aim to ground scene recognition on information other than the identity of component objects. Specifically we seek to understand the structure of color cues that allows the express recognition of scene gists. Using the L*a*b* color space we examined the conditions under which chromatic cues concur with brightness to allow a viewer to recognize scenes at a glance. Using diffe...

Processing language requires the retrieval of concepts from memory in response to an ongoing stream of information. This retrieval is facilitated if one can infer the gist of a sentence, conversation, or document and use that gist to predict related concepts and disambiguate words. This article analyzes the abstract computational problem underlying the extraction and use of gist, formulating th...

Two experiments investigated the cognitive skills that underlie children's susceptibility to semantic and phonological false memories in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure (Deese, 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995). In Experiment 1, performance on the Verbal Similarities subtest of the British Ability Scales (BAS) II (Elliott, Smith, & McCulloch, 1997) predicted correct and false recall of s...

Previous work has shown that recall of objects that are incidentally encountered as targets in visual search is better than recall of objects that have been intentionally memorized (Draschkow, Wolfe, & Võ, 2014). However, this counter-intuitive result is not seen when these tasks are performed with non-scene stimuli. The goal of the current paper is to determine what features of search in a sce...

gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gists) are rare and these tumors are mesenchymal tumors that develop in the wall of the gi tract. the aim of this study was to report a case with gist in pregnancy in western iran. a 39-year-old pregnant female (g5 p4) was admitted with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and epigastric fullness on 12 th april 2016. sonography showed gestational age of 15w+1d an...

This is a case report of a 40 year old lady presenting with gastrointestinal stromal tumor of rectum. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) tend to present with higher frequency in the stomach (60-70%) and small bowel (20-25%) while colon and rectum represent rare sites. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the rectum represent around 5% of all GISTs and 0.1% of all tumours originating in the re...

We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor and a diffuse large cell lymphoma. For this case, we conducted a literature review in an attempt to correlate these two neoplasms on a molecular basis. Diffuse large cell lymphoma is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The etiologic factor of these lymphomas is considered to be the mutations or allelic losses of the...

In 3 experiments the authors used a new contextual bias paradigm to explore how quickly information is extracted from a scene to activate gist, whether color contributes to this activation, and how color contributes, if it does. Participants were shown a brief presentation of a scene followed by the name of a target object. The target object could be consistent or inconsistent with scene gist b...
