Between 10 and 20% of the Western population suffer from gallstones. When a surgical operation (cholecystectomy) is necessary, the removal of the gallbladder is done by laparoscopy in 95% of cases. The risk of having to undergo this operation increases with age and on average women are twice as
Background: Background: An estimated 11 million Americans were prescribed long term opioids in 2014—up to 4 percent of the entire U.S. adult population. Patients with chronic pain taking long term opioids are at higher risk for multiple health problems including more severe pain and addiction, and

Ketamine is a noncompetitive N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist that blocks the release of excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and provides anesthesia, amnesia and analgesia by virtue of decreasing central sensitization and "wind-up" phenomenon. At low (sub-dissociative, analgesics)
