Effect of computerized prescriber order entry on pharmacy: experience of one health system.

Purpose: Pharmacists' satisfaction with a computerized prescriber order-entry (CPOE) system and the impact of CPOE on pharmacy workflows and order verification were investigated.

Summary: A mixed-method study was conducted to evaluate the implementation of a CPOE system in three hospitals of a large Michigan-based health system and early user experience with the system. Surveys of pharmacists before (n = 54) and after (n = 42) CPOE implementation indicated that they held generally positive expectations about CPOE prior to and during system implementation and continued to hold positive views about CPOE after several months of system use.

Soybean phytophthora resistance gene Rps8 maps closely to the Rps3 region.

Root and stem rot is one of the major diseases of soybean. It is caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae. A series of resistance genes (Rps) have been providing soybean with reasonable protection against this pathogen.

Field Response of Glyphosate-Tolerant Soybean to Herbicides and Sudden Death Syndrome.

Three-year field experiments were conducted to assess the development of sudden death syndrome (caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines) in three soybean cultivars, tolerant (P9344 and A3071) and nontolerant (BSR101), to glyphosate following foliar application of four herbicides (acifluorfen, glyphosate, imazethapyr, and lactofen) commonly applied to soybeans in the north-central region of the United States.

Soybean Varietal Response and Yield Loss Caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Soybean Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, has recently emerged from being a minor problem in areas where soybeans of maturity groups 0 to I are grown to a significant cause of soybean yield losses in the north-central region, which produces 80% of soybean in the United States. Studies were conducted in Iowa to quantify varietal response to S. sclerotiorum for cultivars of maturity groups I to III in fields that had uniform infestation histories.

Soil Variables Associated with Sudden Death Syndrome in Soybean Fields in Iowa.

Sudden death syndrome, caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. glycines, has increased in prevalence in soybean production regions in the North-Central United States.
