From Headache to Handled: Advanced In-Basket Management System in Primary Care Clinics Reduces Provider Workload Burden and Self-Reported Burnout.

Background:  The electronic health record (EHR) has been associated with provider burnout, exacerbated by increasing In-Basket burden.

Objectives:  We sought to study the impact of implementing a team-based approach to In-Basket management on a series of primary care ambulatory sites.

Methods:  We performed a workflow analysis of the transition to the Advanced In-Basket Management (AIM) nurse team triage for six family medicine clinic locations in a large health system.

The Importance of Surgical Cutting Time as a Key Performance Indicator Alongside Touchtime Utilisation in Operating Theatre Efficiency Optimisation.

Aims The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme has set targets to achieve 85% touchtime utilisation by 2024/25. Touchtime utilisation is a measure of theatre productivity, defined as the time from the start of anaesthesia to the time a patient leaves the theatre for all cases on a defined theatre list as a percentage of total available theatre time. No published evidence examines touchtime utilisation as a measure of theatre efficiency and its correlation with surgical cutting time.

Identification of Aggregation Pheromone as an Attractant for Odontothrips loti, A Serious Thrips Pest on Alfalfa.

Odontothrips loti (Haliday) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the most serious pests on alfalfa, causing direct damage by feeding and indirect damage by transmitting plant viruses. This damage causes significant loss in alfalfa production. Semiochemicals offer opportunities to develop new approaches to thrips management.

Effects of -Jasmone Treatment of Brassicas on Interactions With Aphids and Their Parasitoid .

There is a need to develop new ways of protecting plants against aphid attack. Here, we investigated the effect of a plant defence activator, -jasmone (CJ), in a range of cultivars of and . Plants were sprayed with -jasmone or blank formulation and then tested with peach potato aphids ( Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and their parasitoid (M'Intosh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).

Mating behaviour, mate choice and female resistance in the bean flower thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti).

Many species of thrips (Thysanoptera) in the family Thripidae form mating aggregations, but the adaptive significance of these aggregations and the extent of male and female mate choice is poorly understood. We studied the mating behaviour of the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), which forms male aggregations and occurs across sub-Saharan Africa. We tested whether males choose mates by female age or mating status.
