ABSTRACT
Voice onset times of /d/ and /t/ were measured for 16 adult subjects (age range 21 to 26 years) under conditions of sobriety and intoxication. Subjects consumed beer to reach intoxication levels between 0.075 and 0.100% as measured using a portable breathalyzer test. Analysis indicated consistent variabilities over time for each subject and resistance of VOT variability to alcohol influence.

The use of semipermeable polyurethane membrane (Op-site) for skin graft donor-site dressings is now well-accepted. We have used Op-site for skin graft coverage in 25 patients with good results. The dressing modality is not only easy to do, even in anatomically difficult areas, but it also maintains a moist environment, allows daily graft observation, and provides a barrier for exogenous bacteria.
