Multicenter Study
Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Effect on Long-Term Survival in Ampullary Adenocarcinoma: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
The role of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in patients with ampullary adenocarcinoma (AA) remains controversial. This study aimed to determine if AC could improve the prognosis of patients with resected AA. ⋯ Given its favorable long-term outcomes, AC can be recommended for patients with resected AA, especially those in the advanced stage (pT4 or pN1-2).

Multicenter Study
Operationalizing the Culture of Burnout and Wellbeing: Multicenter Study of Value Congruence and Flourishing in General Surgery Residency.
Value congruence (VC) is the degree of alignment between worker and workplace values and is strongly associated with reduced job strain and retention. Within general surgery residency, the impact of VC and how to operationalize it to improve workplace well-being remain unclear. ⋯ Exploring the perceived lack of VC within general surgery residency reveals an important cultural variable for optimizing well-being and suggests open dialogue as a first step toward positive change. Future work to identify where and how institutional actions diminish perceived VC is warranted.
