The maxim "publish or perish" has become both the mantra and the malaise of modern academic surgery. While publication remains essential to scientific progress, the increasing reliance on quantitative metrics-publication counts, impact factors, and citation indices-has altered how excellence is defined, rewarded, and sustained. This commentary examines the widening gap between impactful productivity and metric-driven academic survival, distinguishing surgeon-scientists whose prolific scholarship...

CONCLUSION: Substantial inconsistencies in AE, mortality, and discontinuation reporting persist between ClinicalTrials.gov and peer‑reviewed publications of HNSCC RCTs. To uphold transparency and patient safety, enhanced technical safeguards on registry platforms and stricter journal policies, such as mandatory discrepancy checklists, are urgently needed.

HYPOTHESIS: Because surfactants are used in a variety of applications to control interfacial properties, new interfacially active molecules, including biosurfactants, designed for a tailored set of properties, are always needed. However, the molecular mechanisms that determine the effectiveness of surfactants, e.g., lowering interfacial tension, are not fully understood. It is hypothesized that the molecular structure of the surfactants controls the mechanism of interfacial tension decrease.

A 41-year-old, left-handed man was admitted to the hospital for workup of a 3-week history of headache, constant vertigo, diplopia, and left hemiparesis. An initial diagnosis was made, and the patient was treated with symptomatic improvement. He was discharged and then presented a few weeks later with recurrence of his symptoms which required additional diagnostic workup. This ultimately led to a diagnosis of a rare disorder. In this case report, we outline his clinical course and our reasoning...

Lockie, RG, Beitzel, MM, Orr, RM, Dawes, JJ, and Dulla, JM. A Preliminary analysis of self-efficacy relationships with general and job-specific fitness in law enforcement officers. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2025-General and job-specific fitness may decline in law enforcement officers during their careers. Exercise self-efficacy (individual's belief in ability to perform exercise) may present as one reason why an officer's fitness declines and could relate to the officer's general and...
