Objectives: Postponing scheduled surgeries may alleviate emergency department (ED) crowding by increasing inpatient beds for ED patients but the impact of such measures are unclear. We determined if scheduled surgery cancellations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease during the coronavirus pandemic affected ED presentations, hospitalizations, and complications.
Methods: This database review included Albertans ≥ 18 with ED presentations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease from March 1, 2018 to May 31, 2022.

Olfactory dysfunction (OD) can have serious consequences as it hinders individuals from detecting important warning signals like smoke, spoiled food, and gas leaks. This can significantly impact their nutritional status, eating satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease that greatly affects the quality of life and can lead to a decrease, distortion, or complete loss of olfactory ability.

Background: The analgesic efficacy of esketamine combined with butorphanol in thoracoscopic surgery remains unclear.
Aim: This study explored the effects of perioperative esketamine combined with butorphanol versus butorphanol alone on acute and chronic postoperative pain in patients who underwent video-assisted lobectomy.
Method: A total of 181 patients were enrolled, with 90 in the esketamine-butorphanol group (Group BK) receiving intraoperative esketamine infusion and postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) (esketamine 1.

Background: Esophageal cancer (ESC) is an aggressive disease which often presents at an advanced stage. Despite trimodal therapy, 40-50% patients can develop metastatic disease by 18 months. Identification of patients at risk for metastatic spread is challenging with need for improved prognostication.
