    Abstract Objective: To estimate the number of deaths from foodborne disease in the UK from 11 key pathogens.
    Design: Four different models were developed using data from a range of sources. These included enhanced surveillance, outbreaks, death certificates and hospital episode statistics data. For each model, median estimates were produced with 95% credible intervals (CrI). The results from the different models were compared.
    Results: The estimates for foodborne deaths for each pathogen from the different models were consistent, with CrIs largely overlapping. Based on the preferred model for each pathogen, foodborne norovirus is estimated to cause 56 deaths per year (95% CrI 32 to 92), foodborne
    Conclusions: We estimate that there are 180 deaths per year in the UK (95% CrI 113 to 359) caused by foodborne disease based on these 11 pathogens. While this is a small fraction of the estimated 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness per year it still illustrates the potential severity of these illnesses demonstrating the importance in continuing efforts to reduce these infections.

    Abstract Mass balance measurements in the Canadian Arctic are limited, particularly for smaller glaciers, which introduces significant uncertainties in regional mass balance assessment. Here we report on the correlations between Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra albedo measurements (Version 6) and net annual mass balance for five glaciers in the Canadian Arctic over the period 2002–2016. Three glacier albedo aggregation methods are tested for the melt season (June, July and August): minimum, raw average, and interpolated average. These are evaluated in terms of a 53–71% reduction in observations due to cloud cover in the raw albedo time series. For the minimum method, the whole glacier albedo is calculated from the average of the minimum melt season albedo of each grid cell, irrespective of the day on which they occurred, resulting in R² values between 0.20 and 0.87. In the raw average method, averaging all albedo values within a glacier outline over the melt season improves the correlation to mass balance to a range of 0.61–0.95. In the interpolated average method, linear interpolation of the raw average albedo values to fill cloud gaps, then averaging them, improves the raw average correlations for all ice masses by ~5% (R² range 0.68–0.97). Overall, the interpolated average albedo method performs substantially better for the smallest glacier than the minimum or the raw average methods. The most negative net mass balance occurs at Grise Fiord Glacier, which is the smallest (<4.0 km²), but not the lowest elevation, glacier analysed. For this glacier, the interpolated average albedo improves the correlation with mass balance to an R² = 0.68 (p-value < .05), compared to an R² = 0.17 for the minimum albedo method (p-value > .05). When the five glaciers' interpolated average albedo is correlated to their ensemble mass balance, an R² = 0.82 is achieved. These results show that interpolated MODIS Terra melt season albedo measurements can realistically approximate net annual glacier mass balance for Arctic glaciers and ice caps, without additional information about precipitation or temperature, and in the absence of a melt model.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the level of DNA damage, both fragmentation and oxidative, in the sperm population used for intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and its impact on fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates.
    Design: A prospective clinical study.
    Setting: A tertiary care fertility clinic.
    Patient(s): Couples undergoing ICSI (n = 48) and couples undergoing IUI cycles (n = 53).
    Intervention(s): Assessment of both sperm DNA fragmentation using the TUNEL assay and oxidative DNA damage using the biomarker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the samples prepared and used for insemination.
    Main outcome measure(s): Achievement of a clinical pregnancy.
    Result(s): Sperm DNA fragmentation and 8-OHdG were highly correlated (r = 0.55) and 8-OHdG was significantly lower in those who achieved a clinical pregnancy after IUI (8.9% vs. 20.2%). A threshold value of 11.5% 8-OHdG was identified as a useful predictor of IUI success. No differences were found in sperm DNA fragmentation or 8-OHdG between pregnant and nonpregnant couples in ICSI cycles.
    Conclusion(s): 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage highly correlated with sperm DNA fragmentation, in human sperm DNA has significant value in predicting the chance of a clinical pregnancy after IUI but not ICSI in assisted reproductive technology.
