Summary: This study investigated whether preoperative inspiratory muscle weakness is a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with esophageal cancer who underwent subtotal esophagectomy. The results showed that preoperative inspiratory muscle weakness was associated with postoperative pulmonary complications, and this association remained after adjusting for preoperative and intraoperative contributing factors.

Summary: Despite advances in multimodal therapy, postoperative complications remain a challenge for esophageal cancer patients. In this review, we focus on the up-to-date approaches to prevent and treat major complications after esophagectomy, such as anastomotic leak, esophago-respiratory fistula, and chylothorax. The tumor biology does not affect the outcome of postoperative complications. Centralization of medical care and advancements in endoscopy and radiology have positively influenced the management of these complications.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of transmediastinal esophagectomy (TME) and open transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) in terms of postoperative respiratory complications. The results showed that TME had a significantly lower incidence of respiratory complications compared to TTE, as well as shorter operation time and less blood loss.

Summary: Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality among malignant tumors worldwide. Surgery is the primary treatment option for early-stage lung cancer. Accurate assessment of preoperative pulmonary function and effective postoperative rehabilitation are crucial for patients. Pulmonary function assessment serves as an objective indicator of postoperative rehabilitation status and is vital for facilitating pulmonary function recovery. Comprehensive preoperative assessment and effective rehabilitation are especially critical for elderly patients with poor physiological functions.

Summary: The risk of post-esophagectomy hiatal hernia is significantly higher after minimally invasive esophagectomy compared to the open technique. Future studies should focus on exploring preventive measures to reduce PEHH after minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Summary: This study investigated preoperative hypokalemia in elderly patients and its effect on postoperative complications. The results showed that female gender, pre-existing hypokalemia at admission, and oral laxative twice or more were independent risk factors for preoperative hypokalemia in elderly patients. However, there was no increase in postoperative complications and 30-day mortality, which may be attributed to the monitoring of blood gas analysis and prompt correction of potassium levels during surgery.

Summary: This retrospective study found a significant correlation between low preoperative PEF and postoperative pulmonary complications. High PEF was identified as an independent protective factor for PPCs. The optimal cutoff values of PEF were determined for female (250 L/min) and male (320 L/min) patients, indicating that preoperative PEF can be a significant predictor for PPCs in surgical lung cancer patients.

Summary: Respiratory morbidities are associated with prognosis after thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) for esophageal cancer and may serve as an independent prognostic factor. Various prophylaxes can help improve the short-term and long-term outcomes of TE.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent Ivor Lewis esophagectomy and found that the incidence of postoperative hiatal hernia was significantly higher after hybrid minimally invasive surgery compared to open surgery. Although most patients were asymptomatic, surgical repair is recommended to avoid potentially fatal outcomes. Innovative techniques for prevention and repair of postoperative hiatal hernia are urgently needed.

Summary: A core outcome set (COS) for pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been developed, consisting of nine crucial outcomes. This COS can enhance consistency and comparability of studies, benchmark PR, and improve the quality of care provided.

Summary: The study found that patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of postoperative complications after spine surgery. Smoking was not found to be a significant factor associated with complications. Preoperative HbA1c can be used to assess the risk of postoperative spine surgery complications.

Summary: This study found that the presence of locomotive syndrome is a risk factor for the onset of social frailty in older adults, while social frailty is not associated with the development of locomotive syndrome. Intervention strategies addressing locomotive syndrome may help prevent the onset of social frailty in this vulnerable population.

Summary: Low self-efficacy among older adults has a negative impact on their Activities of Daily Living and Quality of Life due to physical inactivity. While encouraging physical activity can help solve the problem, individual intervention for low self-efficacy is challenging. This study focused on the association between perception of green space and walking among older adults with high and low self-efficacy. The results showed that higher perception of green space was associated with more walking among older adults with low self-efficacy but not among those with high self-efficacy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between locomotive syndrome and anemia among community-dwelling older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted in specific health checkup centers in Japan, and a questionnaire was sent to older adults aged ≥65 years. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between locomotive syndrome and anemia, even after adjusting for various factors. The results suggest that older adults with anemia are at higher risk of locomotive syndrome, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures.

Summary: The SHINE Study is a data platform integrating personal health records into health-related data at the municipal level in Japan. It aims to analyze the associations between personal health records and future health statuses, and provide evidence for preventive care interventions. By collecting health measurements from participants enrolled in government-led programs and linking them with the LIFE Study's database, correlations between these measurements and healthcare expenditures were analyzed. The study is expected to contribute to the development of preventive care tools and promote health in Japan.
