Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Kunming, China.
Background: Patients undergoing painless egg retrieval are prone to preoperative anxiety, and whether preoperative anxiety induces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is debated. The primary objective of this prospective, randomized, controlled study was to compare the clinical effect of ondansetron in preventing PONV for patients with and without preoperative anxiety. The secondary objective was to investigate whether preoperative anxiety was associated with PONV.

Article Synopsis
- Acute respiratory failure (ARF) affects lung ventilation and can lead to insufficient oxygen levels and carbon dioxide buildup, with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) emerging as a promising treatment alternative to traditional oxygen therapy.
- A study involving 532 critically ill ARF patients, where 151 were treated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV), aimed to compare the effects of using standard oxygen versus HFNC during NIV.
- Results showed that patients using HFNC had shorter NIV treatment durations and improved oxygenation levels, demonstrating better clinical outcomes and survival rates at 28 and 90 days.
Effects of β-blockers therapy on the 28-day and 3-year survival rates of end-stage renal disease patients with cardiovascular disease: a retrospective cohort study.

Department of Emergency, Shidong Hospital, Yangpu District, Shidong Hospital Affiliated to University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, China.
Background: β-blockers have been used in the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients and cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients, separately. However, the effects of β-blockers on ESRD patients with CVD have not been fully investigated. This study sought to investigate the effects of β-blockers therapy on the 28-day and 3-year survival rates of ESRD patients with pre-existing CVD who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, China.
Background: The textbook outcome (TO) emerges as a novel prognostic factor in surgical oncology. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of TO on the risk of death and recurrence in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
Methods: The study involved retrospective analysis of 528 patients with ESCC who were subjected to MIE from January 2011 to December 2017.
Peri-operative approach to esophagectomy: a narrative review from the anesthesiological standpoint.

Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, ASUFC-Academic Hospital of Udine, Udine, Italy.
Objective: This review summarizes the peri-operative anesthesiological approaches to esophagectomy considering the best up-to-date, evidence-based medicine, discussed from the anesthesiologist's standpoint.
Background: Esophagectomy is the only curative therapy for esophageal cancer. Despite the many advancements made in the surgical treatment of this tumour, esophagectomy still carries a morbidity rate reaching 60%.
