Allowing Normal Food at Will After Major Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery Does Not Increase Morbidity: A Randomized Multicenter Trial.
After major upper gastrointestinal surgery, food is withheld for several days. This routine is not supported by randomized controlled trials. We compared a routine of allowing normal food at will immediately after surgery to nil-by-mouth and enteral tube feeding for 5 days. Allowing normal food at will did not increase morbidity.Page: 721DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e31815cca68Authors: Lassen, Kristoffer MD, PhD *+; Kjaeve, Jorn MD, PhD *+; Fetveit, Torunn MD ++; Trano, Gerd MD [S]; Sigurdsson, Helgi Kjartan MD [P]; Horn, Arild MD, PhD [//]; Revhaug, Arthur MD, PhD *+

Association of Surgery With Improved Survival in Stage IV Breast Cancer Patients.
Using a large comprehensive database of women who presented with stage IV breast cancer, the outcome of patients who had resection of their primary cancer were compared with those who did not have surgery. Patients with stage IV breast cancer who had definitive surgical treatment of their primary tumors had improved survival.Page: 732DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e3181656d32Authors: Blanchard, D Kay MD, PhD *+; Shetty, Priya B.

Training Future Surgical Scientists: Realities and Recommendations.
The number of surgical scientists is declining. Training future surgical scientists depends on numerous factors including changes in graduate medical education as well as current trends at the National Institutes of Health. Development of the next generation of surgical scientists will require recruitment of the best students into surgery, construction of a structured research curriculum, and leadership and support from senior surgical faculty.Page: 741DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e318163d27dAuthors: Suliburk, James W.
