Article Abstract
We qualitatively explored the impact of preoperative mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experiences. Participants (n = 10) who received MBSR prior to TKA participated in semi-structured interviews concerning their experiences with MBSR and its perceived impact on surgery. We analyzed interviews according to reflexive thematic analysis, and coded data into three main themes: 1) Impact of MBSR on surgery experiences; 2) Contributors to change; and 3) Motivations for participation. Participants noted they were able to relax, feel more confident, and cope more effectively during the preoperative period, and that others in their lives noticed positive changes following their participation in MBSR. Participants' openness to mindfulness and health-related beliefs and may have contributed to the positive impacts they experienced from MBSR. Participants described being motivated to participate in MBSR to help them prepare for their surgery and to learn new coping strategies. Participants described a strong level of commitment to the intervention. With further research, integration of MBSR into prehabilitation for TKA may be appropriate.

The Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery, Tokyo, Japan.
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.
Consequences of reported β-lactam allergy on perioperative outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of surgical site infection risk.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of reported β-lactam allergy on the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs), given that most reported cases are unverified and may lead to suboptimal antibiotic prophylaxis.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Four databases were systematically searched for studies reporting SSI rates in patients with and without β-lactam allergy.
Impact of TP53, KRAS, and APC Mutations on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Outcomes in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.

Department of Surgery, Asahikawa Medical University, Asahikawa, Japan.
Despite recent advances in neoadjuvant strategies for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), optimal chemotherapy regimens and the role of genetic biomarkers in guiding treatment remain unclear. Moreover, predictive markers are urgently needed for radiation-sparing strategies. Therefore, we aimed to assess the predictive and prognostic value of TP53, KRAS, and APC mutations in patients with LARC undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) by retrospectively analyzing 43 patients with LARC who underwent NACT without radiation.

Background Hyperuricemia (HUA) frequently coexists with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The long-term impact of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) on clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), in CAD patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been determined. That was the aim of this study.
