Background: Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis often suffer from loss of skeletal muscle mass and require extensive surgery. Multimodal prehabilitation may improve physical status but its benefits for these specific patients remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prehabilitation on functional walking capacity and skeletal muscle mass, as well as its association with postoperative complications.

Article Synopsis
  • * Data from 808 patients were analyzed, revealing that 46.9% achieved TO, with significantly lower overall complications (11.9% vs. 86%) compared to those who did not achieve TO, leading to increased major complications and mortality rates.
  • * Factors enhancing the likelihood of achieving TO include treatment at specialized centers, initial surgery transfer, and conservative or surgical management, highlighting the importance of effective perioperative care in managing BDI.

Introduction: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is primarily confined to the peritoneal cavity. When primary complete surgery is not possible, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is provided; however, the peritoneum-plasma barrier hinders the drug effect. The intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy could eliminate residual microscopic peritoneal tumor cells and increase this effect by hyperthermia.

The present research studied the bidirectional effects of working memory (WM) capacity and emotional regulation; that is, the effect of WM capacity on spontaneous emotional regulation and whether the emotional valence to be regulated has a differential impact on performance in a second WM task. Participants (79) first completed a WM span task (Digit Span), then a self-report emotional intelligence task, which was followed by randomly assigned mock Positive-feedback, Negative-feedback, or No-feedback. In the Negative-feedback and Positive-feedback conditions, a dummy report based on participants' responses to the Trait Meta Mood- 21 was shown on the screen.
