  • Summary

    Although Li-Young Lee frequently presents himself as a poet of the absolute, his work is often demonstrably driven by a substrate of anger.  Examining Lee’s first collection, Rose, this chapter shows how diasporic anger both influences Lee’s formal practices and shapes his self-understanding.  As I strive to suggest, the collection develops what might be called a poetics of failure, a way of making poetry out of the failure of poetry. This poetics enables Lee both to tap into and to contain diasporic anger, ultimately generating what I call diasporic irony – an exile’s version of the literary and philosophical tradition of romantic irony. In substantiating these claims, I hope not only to call attention to anger as a recurrent and generative feature of Asian American literary and cultural production, but also to contribute to the renewed attention to form in Asian American literary criticism. Often dismissed as merely content-based, Asian American poetry is in fact formally innovative, and its formal innovations have everything to do with the sociohistorical and political conditions of its emergence.

  • 5 - Playspace: Spatialising Children’s Fiction

  • Summary

    Chapter Five explores the spatial dimensions of Children’s Fiction, arguing that the explicit presence of the map in many canonical texts signals the importance of place and space for the genre and that a specific form of bounded space between adult and child (playspace) emerges. This space is essential for the literary representation of childhood to function positively. The spatial play that this enables is exemplified in Arthur Ransome’s Lake District Series whilst the – equally powerful – negation of playspace is embodied in Peter Pan. (84)

  • COST ANALYSIS OF INTRA PROCEDURAL RAPID ON SITE EVALUATION OF CYTOPATHOLOGY WITH ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND

    International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care / Volume 31 / Issue 5 / 2015

  • Background: Rapid on site evaluation (ROSE) allows immediate processing and interpretation of the aspirate in the procedural suite. It improves diagnostic yield and lowers patient care costs. There are limited data on its cost-effectiveness with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS).

    Methods: We developed an economic model with two arms, no ROSE (our current practice) and simulated ROSE. To simulate ROSE, a cytopathologist retrospectively identified the first diagnostic slide in each case. Using a decision analytic modeling technique under a hospital diagnostic unit perspective, the benefits of simulated ROSE were estimated as cost-savings. The model input was estimated from actual data, consulting experts, and the literature. The benefits were estimated as cost savings per patient and for the province of Alberta per year. Due to differences in the procedure, sarcoidosis and cancer patients were analyzed separately. The costs are shown in 2012 Canadian dollars, CAD.

    Results: In our model without ROSE, the procedure cost/patient was CAD 646.00(USD 523.32) for cancer and CAD 1,170.00 (USD 947.73) for sarcoidosis. With simulated ROSE cost savings of CAD 63.00(37.00 to 89.00) [USD 51.04(29.97 to 72.10)], CAD 544.00(490.00 to 598.00) [USD 440.65(397.05 to 484.44)] for cancer and sarcoidosis, respectively. Extrapolating this to provincial data, our model estimates that EBUS with ROSE would lead to savings of CAD 50,000.00(30,000 to 71,000) [USD 40,501.24 (24,300.75 to 57,531.34)] for cancer and CAD 109,000.00 (87,000 to 130,000) [USD 88,337.07 (70,546.45 to 105,313.04) for sarcoidosis.

    Conclusion: The use of ROSE with EBUS is cost saving. The projected savings were CAD 50,000.00 (USD 40,501.24) and CAD 109,000.00(USD 88,337.07) in cancer and sarcoidosis, respectively, for the province of Alberta, Canada.
