Thomas Dent Mütter, a Philadelphia plastic surgeon in the 1840s, boldly championed anesthesia when few physicians were convinced of its virtues. He was an early advocate of handwashing and hygienic wound care and helped pioneer the concept of postoperative recovery units. A leader in education, Mütter used a highly interactive style of teaching and restructured medical school classes to raise the caliber of clinical training. He supplemented his lectures with a myriad of specimens that he amassed over 24 yr. In 1863, this vast collection would serve as the basis for the Mütter Museum, which remains active today. Mütter exemplified expertise by tirelessly pursuing new knowledge and methods for the benefit of his patients and students.

Article Synopsis
- Current multimessenger searches for binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers are advancing with the gravitational wave observatories ALIGO, AdVirgo, and KAGRA during their fourth observing run (O4).
- To enhance the search, the study utilized simulated binary populations and conducted a mock data challenge (MDC), optimizing the software used for real-time data analysis and alert generation.
- The paper reports on the low-latency infrastructure performance, with a median alert time of approximately 29.5 seconds for full searches, and emphasizes the importance of early warnings for neutron star mergers with a new trigger system, aiming for responses about 3.1 seconds before mergers occur.
Gravitational waves: search results, data analysis and parameter estimation: Amaldi 10 Parallel session C2.

The Amaldi 10 Parallel Session C2 on gravitational wave (GW) search results, data analysis and parameter estimation included three lively sessions of lectures by 13 presenters, and 34 posters. The talks and posters covered a huge range of material, including results and analysis techniques for ground-based GW detectors, targeting anticipated signals from different astrophysical sources: compact binary inspiral, merger and ringdown; GW bursts from intermediate mass binary black hole mergers, cosmic string cusps, core-collapse supernovae, and other unmodeled sources; continuous waves from spinning neutron stars; and a stochastic GW background. There was considerable emphasis on Bayesian techniques for estimating the parameters of coalescing compact binary systems from the gravitational waveforms extracted from the data from the advanced detector network.

Background: This study assesses the outcomes of nondesignated preliminary (NDP) residents in general surgery (GS) at an independent, nonuniversity training program.
Methods: Records of all NDP residents from 1984-1985 through 2008-2009 were reviewed, and residents' careers were followed. Designated preliminary and categorical residents were excluded.
