Article Abstract
Background: Patients with gastric cancer experience severe psychological distress as a result of their cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy. Resilience is a defense mechanism that enables one to thrive amid distress. However, little research has been done to explore the formation and development mechanism of resilience among patients with gastric cancer before their first chemotherapy treatment.
Objective: The mediating roles of self-efficacy and hope on the relationship between positive coping and resilience among patients with gastric cancer before their first chemotherapy treatment were examined to inform the future resilience intervention.
Methods: A total of 253 patients with gastric cancer before their first chemotherapy treatment were investigated using the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, the General Self-efficacy Scale, the Herth Hope Index, and the 14-Item Resilience Scale. Structural equation modeling was conducted using Mplus version 7.03 to test the hypothesized mediational model.
Results: Structural equation modeling analysis showed self-efficacy and hope completely mediated the relationship between positive coping and resilience; the indirect effects were 0.242 (P < .01) and 0.258 (P < .01), respectively; indirect effects accounted for 81% of the total effect.
Conclusions: Positive coping is not the independent predictor that may contribute to resilience among patients with gastric cancer before their first chemotherapy treatment, but it can indirectly affect resilience through self-efficacy and hope.
Implications: Self-efficacy and hope may increase the positive influence of positive coping on resilience among patients with gastric cancer before their first chemotherapy treatment. Resilience intervention might be enhanced by addressing the impact of positive coping on self-efficacy and hope.

Background: The association between preoperative liver function and short-term outcomes after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is unknown. This study investigated the impact of Child-Pugh score-based preoperative liver dysfunction on short-term outcomes after distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy.
Materials And Methods: We included patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer or right hemicolectomy for colon cancer between 2018 and 2022 from the Japanese National Clinical Database.

Unlabelled: Bariatric surgery has emerged as a highly effective treatment option for individuals with obesity. Severe hypoalbuminaemia is a feared complication after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It is characterised by a low serum albumin level of <25 g/l, neither explained by renal losses, protein-losing enteropathy nor by liver disfunction, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: Dumping syndrome (DS) and postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) are challenging complications encountered after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Surgical revision is often the next therapeutic step when pharmacological and dietary treatments fail to control DS and PPH. Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a less invasive alternative that reduces the diameter of the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA).
