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.
Background: The global outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been linked to long-term neurological complications, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) among seniors. However, the precise genetic impact of COVID-19 on long-term AD development remains unclear.
Method: This study leveraged genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and genotype data to explore the genetic correlation between AD and various COVID-19 phenotypes across European ancestry (EA) and African ancestry (AA).

Background: African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by Long COVID, highlighting the need for targeted research to understand the enduring consequences of COVID-19 within this community. Among the array of symptoms associated with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), cognitive impairments emerge as a significant concern affecting up to 19% of COVID survivors. In this study, our goal is to comprehensively characterize the specific cognitive domains impacted in older AA adults.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has brought long-lasting social, emotional, and cognitive consequences. Long COVID is characterized by a myriad of symptoms and complications that persist long after the infection, including cognitive decline and mental health impairment.

Background: Smell dysfunction has been one of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) symptoms. Identification of those with these symptoms are important as olfactory impairment in general has been studied to have increased mortality, poor quality of life, increased incidence of depression and risk for dementia. Smell dysfunction related to Covid-19 in older adults and its impact is lesser studied.
