Abstract
Microvascular couplers have a record of efficiency and efficacy. They have been used in anastomoses in the head and neck in Sunderland since November 2013, where we have investigated the time taken for anastomosis, patency, and cost. We also completed a national survey of the use of couplers in the United Kingdom, in which we recorded the time of anastomosis. The mean (range) time was 4minutes (2minutes 40seconds - 4minutes 10seconds). One flap partially failed. This shows that couplers can save time, they have successful outcomes, and the technique is quick and easy to learn.

Abstract
CONTEXT Industrial hygiene assessments often focus on activity-based airborne asbestos concentration measurements, but few empirical data exist regarding the fiber removal rate from air after activities cease. OBJECTIVE Grade 7T chrysotile indoor fiber settling (FS) rates were characterized using air sampling (NIOSH Method 7402). MATERIALS AND METHODS Six replicate events were conducted in a 58 m(3) study chamber (ventilation 3.5 ACH), in which chrysotile-contaminated work clothing was manipulated for 15 min followed by 30 min of no activity. The fiber concentration decay constant and removal rate were characterized using an exponential decay model based on the measurements. RESULTS Breathing zone airborne chrysotile concentrations decreased by 86% within 15-30 min after fiber disturbance, compared to concentrations during active disturbance (p < 0.05). Estimated mean time required for 99% of the phase contrast microscopy-equivalent (PCME) fibers to be removed from air was approximately 30 min (95% CI: 22-57 min). The observed effective FS velocity was 0.0034 m/s. This settling velocity was between 4.5-fold and 180-fold faster than predicted by two different particulate gravitational settling models. Additionally, PCME concentrations decreased approximately 2.5-fold faster than predicted due to air exchange alone (32 versus 79 min to 99% decrease in concentration). DISCUSSION Other measurement studies have reported similar airborne fiber removal rates, supporting the finding that factors other than gravitational settling and dilution ventilation contribute measurably to PCM fiber removal from air (e.g. impaction, agglomeration). CONCLUSION Overall, the scientific weight of evidence indicates that the time necessary for removal of 99% of fibers greater than 5 μm in length (with aspect ratios greater than 3:1) is approximately 20-80 min.

Abstract
Research has suggested that prenatal depression may be associated with disrupted maternal responses to infant stimuli, with depressed pregnant women not showing the bias toward distressed infants as that observed in nondepressed pregnant women. The current study examined the effects of depression on self‐ reported responses to infant stimuli, in early pregnancy. Women with clinical depression (n = 38), and nondepressed women (n = 67) were recruited from a wider cognitive behavioral therapy trial. They completed Maternal Response Scales in which they were presented with images of distressed, neutral, and happy infant faces, with no time limit. The women rated their responses to these images along three dimensions—wanting to comfort, wanting to turn away, and feelings of anxiety—using Likert scales via a computerized task. There was evidence that women with depression in pregnancy showed different responses than did women without depression. Women with depression were substantially more likely to be in the highest quartile for ratings of wanting to turn away, odds (OR) ratio = 4.15, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) = 1.63–10.5, p = .003, and also were substantially less likely to be in the highest quartile for wanting to comfort a distressed infant face, OR = 0.22, 95% CIs = 0.09–0.54, p < .001. Findings are consistent with there being both a heightened avoidant and a reduced comforting response toward distressed infants in depressed pregnant women, providing some support that depression disrupts maternal preparations at a conscious level.

Abstract
The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock has refocused attention on S. aureus colonization and transmission in pigs. This study investigated the effect of the S. aureus colonization status of a sow on the colonization status of her piglets, and whether pigs carry the same strain of S. aureus throughout production. Nasal swabs were collected from the piglets of six healthy sows two days after birth and two days before and two days after they were moved into each production stage. The average prevalence of S. aureus colonization varied between 26% and 73%. The odds of being S. aureus positive were almost 12 times higher for piglets born to nasal-positive sows than for those born to nasal-negative sows, and three times higher again for piglets born to sows that were both nasal- and vaginal-positive. Isolates recovered from piglets immediately after birth were indistinguishable from those of the dam as determined by phenotypic and molecular typing, including microarray analysis and optical mapping. All isolates belonged to clonal complex 9 and the majority exhibited a novel spa type, t10449. The findings show that the S. aureus colonization status of the sow influences the colonization status of her piglets in the early production stages but strains carried by pigs change over time. Multiresistant S. aureus was detected, in particular post-weaning. Results suggest that sow status and management practices, including mixing of pigs and antimicrobial usage at weaning, should be considered when implementing control measures for S. aureus on a farm.
