Background: We aimed to clarify usefulness of the modified Frailty Index 11 (mFI-11) for assessing risk of postoperative complications (POCs) and effectiveness of perioperative management team (POMT) intervention for improving postoperative status of frail aged patients requiring colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery.
Methods: We compared, retrospectively, surgical outcomes among 151 consecutive CRC surgery patients aged ≥80 years. Patients were grouped by mFI-11 scores and by POMT intervention (vs. no POMT intervention).
Results: POCs were more prevalent, postoperative stays were longer, and discharge status was poorer among high-risk (mFI-11 ≥ 3/11) patients without POMT intervention than among low-risk (mFI-11 ≤ 2/11) patients (p = 0.04, p = 0.02, p < 0.01). Multiple POCs occurred less frequently and performance of activities of daily living was better for high-risk patients with (vs. those without) POMT intervention (p = 0.04, p = 0.03).
Conclusion: POMT intervention appears beneficial for frail aged patients scheduled for CRC surgery.

Introduction: Surgery is an important component of multimodality treatment in advanced oral cavity cancers. But in low-middle-income countries like India, with limited centres offering complex head and neck surgeries, prolonged waiting times for surgery is a major problem. An increase in waiting times for treatment has been shown to be a negative prognosticator in head and neck cancer and many patients can develop interim progression making them ineligible for radical treatment.

Objective: To identify the differences between the pre- and intraoperative characteristics in misdiagnosed appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) and those in primary ovarian mucinous tumors (POMTs) and to establish an effective model for differentiating AMNs from pelvic mucinous tumors.
Methods: This study enrolled 70 AMN patients who were misdiagnosed with ovarian tumors and 140 POMT patients who were treated from November 1998 to April 2021 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The clinical features and operative findings of the two groups of patients were collected and compared.

Ovarian metastases of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) show grossly abundant nodular mucous cells, with a gross mucinous multinodular appearance and a histological resemblance to primary ovarian mucinous tumors (POMTs). This study aimed to elucidate the utility of gross features including the gross mucinous multinodular appearance and available clinical information at the time of intraoperative consultation, in distinguishing the ovarian metastases of LAMNs from POMTs or the ovarian metastases of colorectal cancer (CRC). In total, 776 patients with primary ovarian tumor and 68 patients with ovarian metastases underwent intraoperative consultation during 1998-2018.

Purpose: To evaluate the color stability of CAD/CAM complete denture resins.
Materials And Methods: A total of 176 resin specimens were manufactured from conventional heat-polymerizing (pink: CON : n = 16; tooth-shade: CON : n = 16), CAD/CAM subtractively manufactured (pink: WI : n = 16, AV : n = 16, ME : n = 16, PO : n = 16; tooth-shade: AV : n = 16, ME : n = 16, PO : n = 16), and additively manufactured (pink: ND : n = 16; tooth-shade: ND : n = 16) denture resins; four different aging processes (thermal cycling, distilled water, red-wine, and coffee) were used. A spectrophotometer evaluated the color change (ΔE) using two modes of measurements (specular component included (ΔE ) and specular component excluded (ΔE )) recorded at baseline (T ) and at day#30 (T ).
