Calling on our vascular surgery colleagues on this important post @VascularSVS

We are launching a new Orthopedic Surgery section and are seeking the inaugural Associate Editor. Great opportunity for academic orthopedic surgeons with strong research and peer-review experience to help shape the journal’s future. 📅 Apply by May 3, 2026 📧 j.ma1@elsevier.com

@TopKniFe_B Worth clarifying: in controlled DCD, if the patient does not die after WLST, organ recovery does not occur. Those “near misses” actually demonstrate the safeguard working as designed—not a failure of the system.

I've had concerns about the aggressiveness of OPOs for a while. This is exactly why. Are we certain our patients are unconscious during controlled donation? A must-read JAMA Perspective raising hard but necessary questions about covert consciousness and the ethics of end-of-life care. #MedTwitter #Surgery #OrganDonation

📢 Applications Open The Journal of Surgical Research seeks an Associate Editor – Vascular Surgery to help lead peer review and shape the scientific direction of the journal. 📅 5-year term 🗓 Deadline: May 3, 2026 📧 Send CV + brief statement to: j.ma1@elsevier.com

@cchildersmd Reminds me of our time with @TopKniFe_B . He will spend the whole day reviewing our abstracts till they were perfect . Good old days @FaisalShahJehan @VirajPandit
