Defining characteristics of categorical general surgery resident lateral transfers.

Background: Few studies describe rationales for intraspecialty ('lateral') general surgery (GS) resident program transfers.

Objective: We aimed to describe the key features of GS residency programs reporting lateral transfers, to characterize reasons behind transfer events, and to compare transferring resident skill sets against their new institutional peers.

Methods: A survey was administered in October 2020 to capture program features and demographic information of residents who transferred into or out of a GS residency program during a 5-year period.

Clinical and radiographic predictors for angiography in pelvic trauma: An analysis of 1703 patients.

Introduction: Patients who present with hemorrhage from pelvic fractures have an increased risk of mortality with prolonged time to intervention. Identifying risk factors associated with hemorrhage can expedite treatment. In this study we explore clinical and radiographic predictors for angiography in trauma patients with pelvic fractures.

Prenatal presentation of a hyperfunctioning thyroid nodule.

Objectives: Fetal and neonatal hyperthyroidism are most commonly seen in patients whose mothers have Graves' disease. Rarely, it can be caused by non-autoimmune conditions. As these conditions are rare, the workup and treatment is not uniform and can lead to persistent symptoms and long-term negative health effects.
