Alternate-year Production Is Not Profitable in Washington Floricane Red Raspberry Systems
Floricane red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ) produces biennial canes that are traditionally managed by annual selective removal of previously fruited floricanes and training of primocanes that will bear fruit in the next growing season. This process of pruning and training is labor intensive and costly, and growers would benefit from more economical methods of pruning and training. This 6-year project evaluated the economic viability of alternate-year (AY) production in a commercial floricane red raspberry field in northwest Washington and compared it to traditional, every-year (EY) production to assess whether the former could save costs. Despite savings from reduced chemicals, fertilizers, labor, general farm supplies, and other variable costs, the overall benefits of AY production were not enough to offset losses in revenue resulting from reduced yields under the conditions of this experiment in northwest Washington.

Go on. Bring a ZOMBIE to life
Zombie fiction is helping authors - pros and first-timers alike - break through into mainstream, genre and young-adult markets. Since 2002, living-dead enthusiasm has spread like a pandemic, and there is no end in sight. [...] Patient Zero has sold to a dozen countries, and Sony is developing it for television. Because of those books - and their zombie themes - Creative Artists Agency people scouted me and have now placed Rot & Ruin on the desks of some of the biggest producers in Hollywood.

Enhancing Care for Critically Ill Patients Boarding in the Emergency Department: A 360° Evaluation of an Emergency Medicine Critical Care Fellow Model
Evaluate the impact of an emergency medicine-trained anesthesiology critical care (EM ACC) fellow on the delivery of critical care to patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and boarding in the emergency department (ED).
This is a mixed methods observational study at a single urban tertiary care center. A second year EM ACC fellow was deployed to the ED for 2 months. We performed a 360° analysis of this pilot program using a cross-sectional staff survey, an analysis of fellow productivity, and a secondary retrospective cohort analysis of patient outcomes.
Fellows worked a total of 26 shifts and encountered 101 ICU boarding patients. Surveys were completed by 71 medical professionals: 22 emergency medicine (EM) physicians, 44 EM nurses, and 5 critical care (CC) physicians (n = 107, response rate 66.4%). On a 5-point Likert scale, the EM ACC fellow was reported to be invaluable or very helpful by 91.5% of all respondents. Qualitative analysis of open feedback emphasized improved team communication, coordination of care, timely interventions, and enhanced CC education. Fellows generated 3.1 work relative value unit (wRVU) per hour and 4.9 wRVU per patient while facilitating 11 (10.8%) ICU downgrades and 4 (3.9%) ICU upgrades. There were no significant differences in patient outcomes (ICU length of stay [LOS], hospital LOS, and discharge disposition).
This model, using an EM ACC fellow, offers an approach to improve the delivery of CC to ICU patients boarding in the ED and may be modified to fit the resources, needs, and models available at different institutions. At the study institution, integrating EM ACC fellows into the ED garnered widespread support and demonstrated billing feasibility, but did not show difference in patient outcomes.
