Background: Surgery is recommended as the first-line treatment option to cure resectable gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. However, patients occasionally feel postoperative regret after surgery. To date, it is not clear which factors are associated with patient regret after GI cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate factors related to postoperative decision regret in patients undergoing surgery for GI cancer.
Methods: The present prospective study used questionnaires to analyze postoperative decision regret in patients undergoing GI cancer surgery in our institution between February and July 2020. Decision regret that patients felt after surgery was quantitatively measured using the decision regret scale (DRS). Multivariable linear regression models were used to examine factors related to postoperative decision regret.
Results: Among 70 patients analyzed, the median (interquartile range) DRS score was 10.0 (.0-25.0). Multivariable analysis showed that preoperative Trust in Physician Scale score (partial regression coefficient (B) = -.77; 95% confidence interval (CI) = -1.13 to -.41; < .001) and postoperative complications (B = 9.17; 95% CI = 2.20 to 16.15; = .0011) were significantly associated with DRS score.
Discussion: Preoperative trust in physician and postoperative complications were significantly associated with postoperative decision regret in patients undergoing surgery for GI cancer. Although patients may regret their choice of surgery when postoperative complications occur, trust in their physician may help reduce feelings of regret.

Background: Facial emotion recognition testing in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients has been identified as key for early detection and as a marker for disease progression. Emotion recognition remains one of the most difficult domains to assess in culturally diverse populations due to a lack of culturally adapted tools. This study assessed the feasibility of a cross-cultural test for emotion recognition, the TIE-93, in French and North African populations living in France.

Background: Self-rated health status goes beyond a mere indicator of one's well-being, encompassing biological, social, and functional aspects. It has emerged as a significant variable in predicting mortality. Against this backdrop, understanding the impact of subjective health status on anxiety symptoms is crucial for individuals with dementia.

Background: Dementia care management programs, including the Care Ecosystem, have been shown to improve patient and caregiver outcomes, reduce unnecessary healthcare expenditures, and are the focus of Medicare's new GUIDE payment model. Until now, prior research has focused on evaluating the effectiveness of participating for a short (eg, 12-month) time frame. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Care Ecosystem when delivered for up to 5 years or end of life.

This study employs electroencephalography (EEG) to assess the efficacy of a person-centered communication intervention in the context of dementia care. Seventy-seven individuals in the early stage of dementia, attending day care centers, were divided into experimental and control groups following a non-equivalence control design. The communication intervention consisted of 30 minutes of semi-structured, topic-specific in-person interactions, incorporating elements of self-introduction, rapport-building, emotional exploration, reminiscence, and cognitive stimulation.

Background: Spousal care partners to people with dementia (PWD) have a higher rate of depression and anxiety when compared to similar age controls. Previous studies have suggested a role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric symptoms and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, our study aims to: (1) determine the presence and severity of depression and anxiety in care partners of PWD, and (2) determine the concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are mainly produced by gut microbiota and are important in mediating gut microbiota effects, in the blood of care partners of PWD.
