ON THE COVER:
We continue our end-of-the-year special focus on an institution which has developed and maintained research excellence in the specialty. This year a majority of the December issue comes from the department of anesthesiology and critical care at Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, France, an institution which celebrated 400 years of patient care this year.
