Figure 1 Mind-body bridge: Bridging inflammation and psychology in postoperative recovery. This infographic illustrates the bidirectional relationship between psychological distress and inflammatory markers in patients recovering from intestinal tumor surgery. The bridge metaphor connects psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression) with biological mediators (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio, cytokines, nutrition), emphasizing the role of integrated care models in optimizing recovery outcomes. NLR: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; AFR: Albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio.
