Purpose To understand how cultural differences between vascular surgeons (VSs) and interventional radiologists (IRs) affect their clinical decision making and inter-specialty relationships. Methods Twenty-four conversational interviews were conducted with IRs and VSs about their approaches to patient care, views of their specialty and others, and solutions to any expressed concerns. Interview transcripts were systematically analyzed to identify and compare key themes according to the constructivist grounded theory and content analysis using NVivo 10 software. These data were supplemented with a retrospective analysis of 3658 endovascular stent placements performed at a large medical academic center over 11 years. Aggregate counts were divided by provider specialty, and trends were assessed via correlation coefficients. Results Endovascular stent placements were relatively equally divided between IR and VS over 11 years with some variability from placements by cardiology. IRs tend to lay claim to treatments as masters of procedures, whereas VSs base their claims on being masters of the treated diseases, leading to collaboration in some practices and bitter competition in others. The level of perceived competition was most associated with specialists’ awareness of and appreciation for specialty-specific values rather than differences in practice structure/reimbursement. Conclusions Understanding cultural differences between IRs and VSs is imperative for fostering better collaboration to grow shared territory rather than competing for the same slice of the pie.

Discusses how freshman English separated from other courses. Considers many different points of view regarding the development of freshman English versus composition and communication. Ponders what composition would be like in the last half century had it incorporated communication. Concludes that when freshman English won the \"Turf Wars\" over composition and communication, its victory amounted to a defeat for composition. (SC)

Focuses on growth and development of English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students at the undergraduate level between 1941 and 1966. Discusses developments and progress made in the profession of teaching ESL students. Shows how teaching ESL in this period inadvertently contributed to the creation of the disciplinary division of labor that continues to influence composition programs across the nation. (SC)

Discusses the beginning of the Conference on College Composition and Communication and how it provided a glimpse of the natural alliance between composition and communication. Describes how the early CCCC over time began to gain more composition than communication participants. Concludes that communication cannot be abandoned completely, and it pulls compositionists toward the worldly, the actual, and the material. (SC)

Examines the impact of training in literature on the development of theories of composition. Examines connections between the strategies employed in seven influential composition theorists' dissertations (Linda Flower, Art Young, David Bartholomae, Erika Lindemann, Toby Fulwiler, Lisa Ede, and Peter Elbow) and those strategies used in their subsequent theorizing about composition.
