Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has traditionally relied on the surgeon's judgement and manual instruments to determine balance. The MAKO robotic system (Stryker Ltd, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) allows assessment of virtual compartmental gaps from CT-derived bone models intra-operatively as a predictor of soft tissue balance that will be achieved, prior to any bony resection. This study aims to assess the accuracy of this pre-resection balancing technique in determining the resultant final soft tissue balance of the TKA. A consecutive prospective cohort of 2027 Robotic-Assisted TKAs (RATKA) were performed between January'17 and March'22. Osteophytes were removed; initial virtual gaps on the virtual bone model were measured at 10° and 90° of flexion prior to bone resections. Optimization of the virtual component positions was then made and final pre-resection gaps were measured. The gaps were then re-assessed post-implantation and compared to the final pre-resection values. Virtual balancing in extension within 1 mm was achieved in 95% of cases. Of those, 98% maintained coronal balance within 1 mm after implantation, with 1.5% requiring a coronal plane soft tissue release. Inability to virtually balance a TKA within 2 mm prior to bone resection resulted in a soft tissue release in 44.4% of cases. The absolute values of the final gaps achieved were a mean of 1.3 mm greater than virtual gaps. The ability to balance a knee on the virtual bone model prior to bone resection, in conjunction with robotic-assisted execution of TKA, consistently achieves a balanced knee after component implantation.

Abstract
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk, saliva, tears, and other exocrine secretions. It is known to have in vitro antiviral effects against human, feline, and canine herpesviruses. In addition, lactoferrin is known to be safe in cell culture. Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) is a likely contaminant of in vitro embryo production. Further, trypsin treatment is not completely effective in removing the virus from these embryos. We hypothesized that a nontoxic concentration of lactoferrin might prevent replication of BHV-1 within in vitro embryo production systems. Thus, the specific objectives of this research were to determine if lactoferrin from bovine milk would inhibit BHV-1 in cell culture and to determine if in vitro-produced embryos could develop normally when cultured in lactoferrin. Two-fold dilutions of lactoferrin (from 10 to 0.625 mg/mL) were added to Madin Darby bovine kidney cells, followed in 15 min by the addition 104 PFU/mL of BHV-1 (Colorado strain). Samples of cell lysate were taken at Day 2 and virus was quantified by plaque assay. The percent of virus inhibited by the antiviral agent at each concentration was determined by comparison to equivalent samples from temporal control cultures in which no compound was added before or after inoculation (Percentage of virus inhibited = [Quantity of virus in the control sample - Quantity of virus in the compound sample]/Quantity of virus in the control sample � 100). Next, the effect of lactoferrin was determined on in vitro-produced embryos. Cumulus oocyte complexes were received from an abattoir, matured in transit, placed in fertilization drops for 6 h, and then placed in culture drops containing lactoferrin (10, 5, and 2.5 mg/mL). At Day 3.5, embryos > 4 cell stage were placed into fresh culture drops containing lactoferrin. On Day 7.5, blastocyst development was noted and the developed embryos were stained to count viable cells. Blastocyst development rate and nucleated cell count of the treated embryos were compared to those of the controls using Chi square test, and ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer HSD, respectively. Lactoferrin (10 mg/mL) inhibited 2 to 5 logs of virus. At concentrations of 5 and 2.5 mg/mL, 1 to 3 logs of virus were inhibited, and concentrations of 1.25 and 0.625 mg/mL inhibited 0 to 2 logs of virus. Lactoferrin did not affect the nucleated cell count of the treated embryos. In addition, unlike 10 and 5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL of lactoferrin did not affect blastocyst development. These preliminary results indicate that lactoferrin from bovine milk can significantly inhibit BHV-1 in cell culture. Furthermore, supplementation of in vitro culture with 2.5 mg/mL of lactoferrin does not affect blastocyst development or cell count of in vitro-produced embryos.

Abstract
Porcine-origin trypsin will effectively remove bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) from in vivo-derived embryos. It is not known if TrypLE (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) could be used to remove BHV-1, but this recombinant porcine sequence trypsin-like protease would be an attractive alternative because it is highly stable at room temperature and does not pose the same threat for contamination as animal-origin trypsin. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine if TrypLE Express (1X) for 1.5 min of exposure or TrypLE Select (10X) for 10 min of exposure would be effective at removing BHV-1 from Day 7 zona pellucida-intact, in vivo-derived embryos after they had been exposed to the virus. Day 7 bovine in vivo-derived morulae and blastocysts and non-fertile degenerate (NFD) embryos were collected and shipped overnight to our facility. Upon arrival, the zona pellucida intact embryos were washed according to the International Embryo Transfer Society protocol. Developed embryos were washed separately from NFD embryos. One group of 5 or 10 NFD or developed embryos was not exposed to virus and served as the negative control. The remaining embryos and 10 NFD were exposed to 106 PFU/mL BHV-1 (Colorado strain) for 1 h. Following exposure, one group of 5 or 10 NFD or developed embryos was washed and served as the positive control. One group of 10 developed embryos was washed and treated with porcine origin trypsin. The remaining developed embryos were divided into groups of 5 or 10 and washed and treated with TrypLE Express for 1.5 min or TrypLE Select (10X) for 10 min. Following treatment, the embryos were sonicated in groups of 5 or 10 and assayed by virus isolation. The negative control embryos, porcine origin trypsin treated embryos, and TrypLE Select treated embryos were negative for virus. The positive control embryos and the TrypLE Express treated embryos were positive on virus isolation (Table 1). When it was determined that TrypLE Express was not effective at 1.5 min, TrypLE Select (10X) was used for 10 min. These preliminary results indicate that use of TrypLE Select (10X) for 10 min is effective for removal of BHV-1 associated with Day 7, zona pellucida-intact, in vivo-derived embryos. In addition, TrypLE Select has the advantage of being an animal-origin-free product. However, use of TrypLE Express (1X) for 1.5 min was not effective. Because it is not practical to expose embryos to trypsin for 10 min, further research is needed to determine the ideal treatment concentration and time that will effectively remove BHV-1 without harming in vivo-derived bovine embryos.

Abstract
The excretion of urinary iodine was studied in a representative population sample from the county of Funen, Denmark, comprising 505 persons between 25-44 years of age, stratified according to geography, age, and sex. Urine samples were collected for 5 h during late afternoon and early evening. The 24-h iodine excretion was estimated on the basis of iodine and creatinine determinations using correlation equations determined in a pilot study of 50 men and women. The iodine excretion was significantly higher in men: 89 micrograms/24 h (median) than in women: 76 micrograms/24 h; the whole population: 85 micrograms/24 h. No significant differences were observed among the age groups studied. The iodine excretion was significantly higher in people living on small islands: 98 micrograms/24 h (median) compared with 84 micrograms/24 h in urban regions and 78 micrograms/24 h in rural districts. Median iodine excretion per gram of creatinine was 58.8 micrograms for the whole sample. The iodine excretion for men was 77% higher than reported in an earlier investigation performed in Funen, 1969, but still lower than internationally recommended (WHO).
