    Abstract Journal editors depend on peer reviewers to make decisions about submitted manuscripts. These reviewers help evaluate the methods, the results, the discussion of the results, and the overall organization and presentation of the manuscript. In addition, reviewers can help identify important mistakes and possible misconduct. Editors frequently have difficulty obtaining enough peer reviews which are submitted in a timely manner. This increases the workload of editors and journal managers and potentially delays the publication of clinical and research studies. This commentary discusses of the importance of peer reviews and make suggestions which potentially can increase the participation of academic faculty and researchers in this important activity.

    Abstract Background: The retraction of medical articles periodically occurs in most medical journals and can involve multiple article types. These retractions are beneficial if they remove flawed or fraudulent information from the medical literature. However, retractions may also decrease confidence in the medical literature and require significant amounts of time by editors.
    Methods: One publisher (Hindawi) announced that it will retract over 1200 articles. Given this, the PubMed database was searched to identify retracted publications on or related to COVID-19, and articles retracted by journals sponsored by the publisher Hindawi were then identified.
    Results: These journals retracted 25 articles and, in most cases, did not provide an exact explanation about the particular problem(s) resulting in the retraction. The time to retraction was 468.7 ± 109.8 days (median =  446 days). These articles had 9.3 ± 9.9 citations.
    Conclusion: Analysis of the titles and abstracts of the articles suggests that their removal from the medical literature would have limited effects on the near-term management decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, retraction of medical articles creates uncertainty in medical care and science and in the public regarding the validity of medical research and related publications and the level of professionalism of the individuals submitting these articles.

    Abstract Background: Since the start of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the residency and fellowship recruitment process has changed significantly with the use of virtual interview (VI) platforms. Pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) candidates reported in a survey that VIs hindered their ability to evaluate their fit within the program. However, the program directors' (PDs') opinion of this process remains unknown.
    Objective: We aim to provide insight into the PCCM fellowship PDs' perspective regarding the virtual recruitment process since the first class of fellows undergoing this process has now completed 1 year of training.
    Methods: An anonymous survey was sent to the PDs of PCCM programs participating in the National Resident Matching Program match process in 2020 and 2021. The survey consisted of five sections and 26 closed-ended questions and was distributed via email using the SurveyMonkey platform. The survey was conducted for a total of 6 weeks. A follow-up email to nonrespondents was sent every week. The collected responses were divided into two categories: favoring VIs versus not favoring VIs. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with favoring VIs.
    Results: The survey was sent to 190 email accounts from the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access System website. Over the course of 6 weeks, 64 respondents participated in the survey, with a response rate of 33.68%. Of 64 respondents, 56 (87.5%) fully completed the survey and 8 (12.5%) partially completed the survey. The final sample size was 59. Thirty-six (61.02%) of the PDs favored VIs for future recruitment, and 23 (38.98%) did not (
    Conclusion: In this survey research, we found that the majority of the PCCM fellowship PDs favored a virtual process for future recruitment.

    Abstract Background: Academic article retractions occur across all disciplines, though few studies have examined the association between research topics and retraction rates.
    Objectives: We assessed and compared the rate of retraction across several important clinical research topics.
    Methods: Information about the number of publications, the number of retractions, the retraction rate, and the time to retraction was collected for articles identified by 15 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. These articles were published between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2020. The searches took place between 18 September 2021 and 24 October 2021. The MeSH terms were selected based on our clinical experience with the expectation that there will be multiple publications during the timeframe to use for the searches. Additional topics were selected based on the frequency of controversy in the public media and were identified by the Altmetric Top 100 report.
    Results: The mean number of publications for all categories was 181,975 ± 332,245; the median number of publications was 67,991 [Q1, Q3; 31951.5, 138,981.5]. The mean number of retractions was 100.3 ± 251.3, and the median number of retractions was 22 [Q1, Q3; 6.5, 53]. The mean time to retraction ranged from 114 days to 1,409.5 days; the median was 857.3 days [Q1, Q3; 684.7, 1098.6], depending on the topic. The various MeSH term categories used in this study had significant differences in retraction rate and time to retraction. The "Neoplasms" category had the highest total number of retractions (993) and one of the highest retraction rates (75.4 per 100,000 publications).
    Discussion: All PubMed categories analyzed in this study had retracted articles. The median time to retraction was 857 days. The long delays in some categories could contribute to potentially misleading information which might have adverse effects on clinical decisions in patient care and on research design.
    Conclusion: Rate of retraction varies across research topics and further studies are needed to explore this relationship.

    Abstract Chagas cardiomyopathy, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a significant cause of cardiac pathology worldwide. Though most frequently observed in Latin America, Chagas disease is present in the United States and should be considered in patients with heart block or other cardiac abnormalities and previous travel to or residence in endemic areas. Here we describe a new diagnosis of Chagas cardiomyopathy in a patient residing in Virginia with a previous residence in Mexico.

    Abstract Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a valvular disorder commonly associated with malignancy and connective tissue diseases. While the disorder is often discovered during autopsy, it is sometimes diagnosed in patients who present with systemic embolization. Here, we discuss the case of a 52-year-old female, with connective tissue disease and malignancy, who presented with symptoms of systemic embolization and was diagnosed with NBTE by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). This case highlights the utility of TEE in diagnosing NBTE and its influence in guiding the subsequent management of patients.

    2023  Volume 116, Issue 3, Page(s) 279–285

    Abstract Objective: The use of marijuana by middle and high school students could have important consequences, including physical harm, poor decision making, increased use of tobacco products, and involvement in the legal system. Determining the level of use by students provides the initial information needed to understand the extent of the problem and possible approaches to reducing student use.
    Methods: The National Youth Tobacco Surveys provide important information about the frequency of use of nicotine and tobacco products by a representative sample of students in schools in the United States. The 2020 survey included a question about the use of marijuana by survey respondents. The results from the survey were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to model the association between the use of marijuana and the use of electronic or conventional cigarettes.
    Results: The final survey from 2020 included 13,357 students, with 6537 male respondents and 6820 female respondents. Ages ranged from younger than 12 to 18 and older years; 961 students used both cigarettes and marijuana, and 1880 students used both electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and marijuana. The adjusted odds ratio for the use of marijuana increased in female students, in non-Hispanic Black students, Hispanic students, and all ages from 13 through 18 and older. The perception of harm associated with either e-cigarettes or cigarettes did not change the odds ratio for using marijuana. Students who did not smoke cigarettes or did not smoke e-cigarettes had significantly lower odds ratios for using marijuana.
    Conclusions: The 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey indicates that approximately 18.4% of middle school and high school students have used marijuana. Parents, educators, public health officials, and policymakers need to understand that there is a relatively high use of marijuana among students and that education programs should focus on its use with or without other tobacco products.
