    Abstract The author aims to depict the current COVID-19 pandemic and personal protective equipment (PPE) crisis in the UK. The current situation is put into context exploring the history of global outbreaks of infectious disease and what has been learnt. These lessons are then applied and weighed against the recent response to coronavirus. An in depth interview with a UK biomedical SME based in Shanghai, China is reported in order to inform future procurement of PPE. It is hoped that an appreciation of the dynamic nature of the market will allow adaptations to be made in order to secure reliable supply chains moving forwards.

    Abstract In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge of the influence of light on the activity and physiology of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays, and sawfish). These are a diverse group with great economic and ecological importance. The long-term success of a species is largely determined by its ability to respond to changes in its environment. Light plays an important role for many marine species in signaling rhythmic environmental changes which are part of daily and annual cycles. Behavioral and physiological changes by organisms in response to these signals have evolved enabling them to maximize survival and reproductive success. In an environment with increased levels of artificial light at night (ALAN), deleterious changes in activity and physiology can occur. By summarizing what is known about the influence of light on elasmobranch activity, it can be concluded that ALAN is likely to have a negative impact on elasmobranchs at the individual and population level. We also discuss the example of intentional nocturnal light pooling by the tourism industry to attract whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) and manta rays (Mobula spp.) and recommend regulation of this activity.

    Abstract Maternal signals shape embryonic development, and in turn post-natal phenotypes. RNA deposition is one such method of maternal signalling and circadian rhythms are one trait thought to be maternally inherited, through this mechanism. These maternal circadian gene transcripts aid development of a functioning circadian system. There is increasing evidence that maternal signals can be modified, depending on prevailing environmental conditions to optimise offspring fitness. However, currently, it is unknown if maternal circadian gene transcripts, and consequently early embryonic gene transcription, are altered by maternal developmental conditions. Here, using avian mothers who experienced either pre-natal corticosterone exposure, and/or post-natal stress as juveniles we were able to determine the effects of the timing of stress on downstream circadian RNA deposition in offspring. We demonstrated that maternal developmental history does indeed affect transfer of offspring circadian genes, but the timing of stress was important. Avian mothers who experienced stress during the first 2 weeks of post-natal life increased maternally deposited transcript levels of two core circadian clock genes, BMAL1 and PER2. These differences in transcript levels were transient and disappeared at the point of embryonic genome transcription. Pre-natal maternal stress alone was found to elicit delayed changes in circadian gene expression. After activation of the embryonic genome, both BMAL1 and PER2 expression were significantly decreased. If both pre-natal and post-natal stress occurred, then initial maternal transcript levels of BMAL1 were significantly increased. Taken together, these results suggest that developmental stress differentially produces persistent transgenerational effects on offspring circadian genes.

    Abstract Objective: Perform a comparison between the costs of image-guided breast procedures versus 2-year imaging follow-up for findings classified as BI-RADS assessment category 3-probably benign.
    Methods: The national payment amount costs at non-facility locations were obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services physician fee schedule for breast imaging-related Current Procedural Terminology codes. Total costs were calculated and compared for management algorithms of 2-year imaging follow-up of a BI-RADS 3 lesion from 2018 through 2019 versus performing an image-guided procedure of the lesion in 2018 after the initial diagnostic imaging.
    Results: Two-year mammographic follow-up of a BI-RADS 3 finding costs $484. This was less than a stereotactic-guided breast biopsy, which cost at least $1055. Two-year follow-up for a probably benign US finding cost $615 compared to $1173 for the least expensive US-guided breast biopsy scenario. For breast MRI, 2-year imaging follow-up cost $1510, which was also less than most MRI-guided breast biopsy scenarios. The one exception in which biopsy costs less than 2-year imaging follow-up was in the setting of an MRI-guided biopsy in the average-risk population without a post-benign biopsy follow-up breast MRI; in this setting, MRI biopsy cost $1235.
    Conclusion: In 2018-2019, 2-year imaging follow-up of a BI-RADS 3 finding continues to be less costly than an immediate procedure, except for MRI-guided breast biopsy in the average-risk population without a post-benign biopsy follow-up MRI.

    Abstract Background: Varus deformity is common in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). This coronal plane malalignment is compensated for by static and dynamic adjustments in the position of the adjacent joints, principally in the hindfoot & ankle. Varus knee OA can be treated in selected patients with high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and stabilised with a fixed angle plate or circular frame, which may reverse these compensatory adjustments. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the evidence available for static and dynamic compensations with the main objectives being to improve deformity planning and optimise patient outcomes.
    Method: A systematic review with meta-analysis was designed using the PRISMA template to meet the research aims & objectives.
    Results: A total of 1006 patients (1020 knees) with acombined mean age of 54.5 years, female:male ratio of 0.9:1 were extracted from 19 included studies. The methodologies of the majority of studies were at high risk of bias according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale demonstrating significant heterogeneity. The combined mean change in the HKA axis was 7.7°; MPTA 7.4°; TT, 0.21°; TI 4.56° & AJLO 4°
    Conclusions: An inverse relationship between ankle and hindfoot alignment in varus deformity of the knee forms the basis of this compensation theory. In cases with a stiff hindfoot which may not revert postoperatively, the reconstructive orthopaedic surgeon may consider angulation with translation HTO, in order to optimise joint alignment and minimise transference of symptoms to the foot and ankle.
