Letter Regarding: “Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection Based on Preoperative Imaging and Intraoperative Surgeon’s Palpation versus Total Thyroidectomy Alone for Papillary Thyroid Cancer”
We discussed the article “Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection Based on Preoperative Imaging and Intraoperative Surgeon’s Palpation versus Total Thyroidectomy Alone for Papillary Thyroid Cancer” by Yuan et al. in our weekly journal club meeting and it generated a lot of discussion among the participants.1 We believe that those comments and queries could be useful for the readers and are worthy of publication.

Stop the Bleed in the Era of Virtual Learning: A Novel Strategy for Remote Teaching and Evaluation
Traumatic hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable mortality worldwide. The Stop the Bleed (STB) course was developed to equip layperson bystanders with basic bleeding control knowledge and skills. However, large in-person courses have been disrupted due to COVID-19. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of teaching and evaluating STB skills through remote video-based instruction. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Immune Landscape of Epstein –Barr Virus–Associated Gastric Cancer: Analysis From a Western Academic Institution
Epstein –Barr virus–associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) may be a meaningful biomarker for potential benefit from immunotherapy. Further investigation is needed to characterize the immune landscape of EBVaGC. We assessed our institutional frequency of surgically treated EBVaGC and analyzed the immunologic biomarker profile and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) phenotypes of a series of EBVaGC compared to non-EBVaGC cases.

Geriatric Assessment in Colorectal Surgery: A Systematic Review
The prevalence of colorectal surgery among older adults is expected to rise due to the aging population. Geriatric conditions (e.g., frailty) are risk factors for poor surgical outcomes. The goal of this systematic review is to examine how current literature describes geriatric assessment interventions in colorectal surgery and associated outcomes.
