CPT1B maintains redox homeostasis and inhibits ferroptosis to induce gemcitabine resistance via the KEAP1/NRF2 axis in pancreatic cancer
Although we have made progress in treatment and have increased the 5-year survival by ≤30% in pancreatic cancer, chemotherapy resistance remains a major obstacle. However, whether reprogrammed lipid metabolism contributes to chemoresistance still needs to be further studied. (Source: Surgery)

Philanthropic support of academic programs
Academic surgical departments must subsidize the research mission, as most funded research does not fully support the faculty effort and true costs of the investigation. Most departments support their research program with the margin from clinical revenue; however, increased pressure on clinical income poses a challenge to this strategy. Philanthropy is an increasingly important revenue source to fund academic missions. The opportunities and challenges of this funding source are discussed in this article. (Source: Surgery)

The value of national accreditation program for rectal cancer: A survey of accredited programs and programs seeking accreditation
Significant variation in rectal cancer care has been demonstrated in the United States. The National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer was established in 2017 to improve the quality of rectal cancer care through standardization and emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this study was to understand the perceived value and barriers to achieving the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer accreditation. (Source: Surgery)

MIRO study: Do the results of a randomized controlled trial apply in a real population?
The aim of our study was to evaluate the external validity of the MIRO randomized controlled trial findings in a similar nationwide setting “real life” population, especially the benefit of a hybrid approach in esophageal resection for pulmonary complication. The external validity of randomized controlled trial findings to the general population with the same condition remains problematic because of the inherent selection bias and r igid inclusion criteria.

Coaching your faculty and yourself
Surgical skills vary drastically among practicing surgeons. This variation in skill has been demonstrated to translate directly into patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of skill development. Despite this, directed efforts to improve surgical skills and performance among practicing surgeons remain limited. The development of surgical coaching programs offers an exciting opportunity for surgeon performance improvement and lifelong development. In this article, we will discuss the promise of surgical coaching programs, some of the challenges met when developing a program, and future avenues and opportunities for gro...

Evaluating capabilities of large language models: Performance of GPT-4 on surgical knowledge assessments
Artificial intelligence has the potential to dramatically alter health care by enhancing how we diagnose and treat disease. One promising artificial intelligence model is ChatGPT, a general-purpose large language model trained by OpenAI. ChatGPT has shown human-level performance on several professional and academic benchmarks. We sought to evaluate its performance on surgical knowledge questions and assess the stability of this performance on repeat queries. (Source: Surgery)
