Availability Of Diagnostic Tests Drive Success In Hospitalist-Run Short-Stay Units
The most important factors for a successful stay in hospital short-stay units (SSUs) are the types of diagnostic tests performed and whether or not specialty consultations are needed. When hospitalists staff these units, they can ensure that only patients who need readily accessible services are admitted. These are the findings of a study published today in the Journal of Hospital Medicine.

FDA: Adulterated Animal Feed Seized

At the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. marshals today seized livestock and horse feeds stored under filthy conditions at the Bi-County Farm Bureau Cooperative Association, Inc., in Florence, Ky. "The FDA will not tolerate a company"s failure to adequately control and prevent filth in its facility," said Michael Chappell, the FDA"s acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "The FDA is prepared to use whatever legal means are necessary and appropriate to keep potentially contaminated products out of the marketplace." During a recent inspection of the Bi-County feed mill, FDA investigators discovered live and dead mice and evidence of bird activity throughout the facility. FDA laboratory analysis of samples collected during the inspection confirmed the presence of rodent urine, rodent feces, rodent hairs, and rodent-gnawed holes in bags, in and around food products. Acting on a warrant issued by the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky, marshals seized all FDA-regulated food products exposed to rodent and bird contamination at the facility. The seized products violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because they were kept in conditions in which they may have become contaminated with filth. Bi-County manufactures feed and stores commercial feeds received through interstate commerce. The products are sold locally to farms and stables. The products sold by Bi-County include: 15% Hog Grower & Finisher Feed Agriflex Betonite AIM Magnesium Oxide 56% Barley Flakes Beef, Land O"Lakes Steak Maker Grower Bi-County 17% Layer Mash Bi-County Coop Farm Ration Bi-County Coop Ground Shell Corn Bi-County Feed Oats Bi-County Shell Corn Bi-County Super 12 Plus Bio-Cube Alfalfa Cubes Calf Manna, Manna Pro Cattle Mineral Triple Trust Champions Choice Mix-N-Fine Salt Champions Choice Trace Mineral Salt Coastal Brand Poultry Shell Country Acres Horse Feed Crimped Oats Diamond Crystal Pellets, water softener Diamond Yeast Culture Equine Merit Horse Balancer Farmer"s Friend Vitamin A, D & E Feed Grade Sodium Bicarbonate Gran-I-Grit, Mt.

In addition, purchasers should thoroughly wash their hands after handling the products. James A. Zerhusen, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, filed the complaint requesting the seizure, and his office will continue to coordinate with the FDA to ensure proper disposition of the seized items.
