    Abstract Objectives: Understand the patient experience of a pilot medical student-based patient navigator (PN) program. (2) Assess areas of improvement for further development as a model for expansion.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study assessing patients' subjective experience of medical student navigators for rheumatological conditions. Current student navigators contacted enrolled patients by phone with both structured and free-response questions.
    Results: 44 of 71 patients completed the questionnaire. 84% reported a satisfaction of ≥ 4 on a 5 point Likert scale. > 80% of patients felt that the program helped them better care for their health, feel more understood by their medical team, and feel cared for by their healthcare team. Medical student navigators were able to assist with most patient requests.
    Conclusions: Patients enrolled in our medical student PN program expressed high levels of satisfaction and felt better able to access health resources with the help of a navigator.
    Practice implications: Employing medical students as PNs may serve as a mutually beneficial intervention providing early clinical exposure to students while furthering patient access to care. Other institutions may benefit from similarly structured interventions.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of rectal washout in preventing local recurrence of distal colorectal cancer following curative resection.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed after a literature search was conducted on MEDLINE, EMBASE, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP), ClinicalTrials.gov, and the ISRCTN registry. The study was reported using PRISMA guidelines. The primary endpoint was incidence of local recurrence of cancer after distal colonic and rectal cancer surgery.
    Results: After screening, 8 studies with a total sample size of 6739 patients were identified. At 5-year follow-up, local recurrence in the washout group (WO) was 6.08% compared to 9.48% in the no-washout group (NWO) group (OR 0.63, 95% CI = 0.51-0.78, Chi
    Conclusion: It is safe to recommend the use of rectal washout for left sided and rectal tumour resections. It is a simple and safe step during colorectal surgery that appears to improve long-term oncological outcomes and was not reported to be associated with any complications.

    Abstract Purpose: Abdominal wall hernias are common in the UK and many present in an emergent fashion. The widespread introduction of computed tomography (CT) imaging has transformed surgical practice but out of hours access can be limited by hospital resources and introduce delays. We investigated the influence of preoperative CT imaging in acutely symptomatic hernia and the association with surgical delay and risks of bowel ischemia.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing emergency hernia surgery between 2013 and 2021 in a busy UK district general hospital. We evaluated the role of preoperative CT and its influence on timing of surgery, postoperative complications, critical care admission and hospital length of stay.
    Results: Five hundred and five patients were studied. Of these, 191 had a preoperative CT scan. Sites of hernia included inguinal in 164 patients (33%); umbilical in 164 (33%); femoral in 69 (14%); incisional in 69 (14%); epigastric in 30 (6%) and Spigelian hernia 9 (2%). Preoperative CT imaging was associated with surgical delay (22.0 h vs 13.0 h, p < 0.001) and an increased need for bowel resection (12% vs 6%, p = 0.027). Delay in surgery was not associated with increased postoperative complications (5% vs 4%, p = 0.474) but was associated with increased critical care admission (11.0% vs 4.8%, p = 0.014).
    Conclusions: Preoperative CT scan for emergent hernias can delay often inevitable surgery and is associated with an increasing need for more complex, resectional surgery .

    Abstract Incisional hernia (IH) is a frequent complication following abdominal surgery. The development of IH could be more sophisticated than a simple anatomical failure of the abdominal wall. Reported IH incidence varies among studies. This review presented an overview of definitions, molecular basis, risk factors, incidence, clinical presentation, surgical techniques, postoperative care, cost, risk prediction tools, and proposed preventative measures. A literature search of PubMed was conducted to include high-quality studies on IH. The incidence of IH depends on the primary surgical pathology, incision site and extent, associated medical comorbidities, and risk factors. The review highlighted inherent and modifiable risk factors. The disorganisation of the extracellular matrix, defective fibroblast functions, and ratio variations of different collagen types are implicated in molecular mechanisms. Elective repair of IH alleviates symptoms, prevents complications, and improves the quality of life (QOL). Recent studies introduced risk prediction tools to implement preventative measures, including suture line reinforcement or prophylactic mesh application in high-risk groups. Elective repair improves QOL and prevents sinister outcomes associated with emergency IH repair. The watchful wait strategy should be reviewed, and options should be discussed thoroughly during patients' counselling. Risk stratification tools for predicting IH would help adopt prophylactic measures.

    Abstract Understanding the drivers of morphological convergence requires investigation into its relationship with behavior and niche space, and such investigations in turn provide insights into evolutionary dynamics, functional morphology, and life history. Mygalomorph spiders (trapdoor spiders and their kin) have long been associated with high levels of morphological homoplasy, and many convergent features can be intuitively associated with different behavioral niches. Using genus-level phylogenies based on recent genomic studies and a newly assembled matrix of discrete behavioral and somatic morphological characters, we reconstruct the evolution of burrowing behavior in the Mygalomorphae, compare the influence of behavior and evolutionary history on somatic morphology, and test hypotheses of correlated evolution between specific morphological features and behavior. Our results reveal the simplicity of the mygalomorph adaptive landscape, with opportunistic, web-building taxa at one end, and burrowing/nesting taxa with structurally modified burrow entrances (e.g., a trapdoor) at the other. Shifts in behavioral niche, in both directions, are common across the evolutionary history of the Mygalomorphae, and several major clades include taxa inhabiting both behavioral extremes. Somatic morphology is heavily influenced by behavior, with taxa inhabiting the same behavioral niche often more similar morphologically than more closely related but behaviorally divergent taxa, and we were able to identify a suite of 11 somatic features that show significant correlation with particular behaviors. We discuss these findings in light of the function of particular morphological features, niche dynamics within the Mygalomorphae, and constraints on the mygalomorph adaptive landscape relative to other spiders.
