The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 87: Surgery Journal Publication

Thursday, January 9, 2025

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning had the opportunity to speak with the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS), Dr. Tom Varghese, Jr. They discuss the types of journals and articles JACS publishes, hints and tips for submitting to JACS, and the future of JACS. They also discuss experiment reproducibility, negative clinical trials, and what studies should be conducted in the future.  

Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on lung transplant outcome from selected older donors (≥70 years) equals younger donors (<70 years), initial experience with the da Vinci single-port system in patients with an anterior mediastinal mass, why and when do we invasively restage after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, and harmonizing guidelines and other clinical practice documents.  

In addition, Joel explores a new episode of The Atrium with Dr. Alice Copperwheat and Dr. Valerie Rusch on finding success in surgery training and a presentation by Dr. Shaf Keshavjee on “Ex Vivo and In Vivo Systems to Support, Treat, and Engineer Organs.” Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
