Settings: 12 hospitals in Quebec and Ontario, Canada, between 25 October 2011 and 31 December 2020.

Wait Times for Melanoma Surgery: Is There an Association with Overall Survival?

Introduction: Wait times for access to care have been of increasing interest to public health care officials, health care providers, and the public. There is a paucity of data determining whether extended wait times for melanoma surgery influence patient outcomes. This study measured the association of wait times to surgical treatment with overall survival in patients with melanoma.

Patient fire during dental care: A case report and call for safety.

Background And Overview: Fire risk is present whenever there is a convergence of fuel, oxidizer, and an ignition source, which is called the fire triangle. A heightened awareness of fire risk is necessary whenever a fire triangle is present. The authors provide a sentinel event case report of fire in a dental office.

Clinical and pathological features of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the biliary tract and gallbladder.

Background: Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the biliary tract (IPNB) and intracholecystic papillary neoplasms (ICPN) are rare tumours characterized by intraluminal papillary growth that can be associated with invasive carcinoma. Their natural history remains poorly understood. This study examines clinicopathological features and outcomes.
