Advise and my seminar experience!!!
Katkhouda presented an Abstract last year for the Annals of Surgery that was so biased against the DS, so obviously statistically unsupported, that some of the DS surgeons who were advised about it got together, contacted the editor of the journal, and got his full paper pulled from publication. The Abstract was published here: http://www.americansurgical.info/files/2012/ASA12-Program-Bo ok-for-Web.pdf on page 89.
Here is a report about it: http://www.skinandallergynews.com/index.php?id=1059&type=98& tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=134297&cHash=da03e20e36
Note the line at the end: "The complete manuscript of this presentation is anticipated to be published in the Annals of Surgery pending editorial review." - well it was never published.
