Objective: As COVID-19 restrictions are eased, there has been a lively debate on whether residency recruitment interviews should be held virtually or in-person. However, environmental impact has rarely been a focus of this debate and only by inference from limited survey data. In this study, we aimed to estimate the carbon emissions generated from air-travel versus in-person interviews in the general surgery residency recruitment.

To date, we lack an adequate understanding of the inflammatory response that acute injury elicits in the pericardial space.
Objective: To characterize the inflammatory profile in the pericardial space acutely after ischemia/reperfusion.
Objective: To determine the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of early cold stored platelet transfusion compared with standard care resuscitation in patients with hemorrhagic shock.
Background: Data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of early cold stored platelet transfusion are lacking following severe injury.
Methods: A phase 2, multicenter, randomized, open label, clinical trial was performed at 5 US trauma centers.
