existing knowledge The study indicates that normally ageing individuals are a non-homogeneous group in terms of pragmatic aspects of verbal communication. Various communication functions change at different rate at various stages of ageing. The study clarified the determinants of changes in pragmatic aspects of verbal communication skills in elderly individuals. These aspects are cognitive abilities, age, a high education level and sex. U0126 concentration What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? The research shows that diagnosis of communication competencies in elderly individuals is necessary. Furthermore, the kind of abilities is very important for social relationships and quality of life. It is essential to inform a senior's family about communication changes that occur in normal ageing. Understanding potential verbal communication difficulties in seniors and their determinants are fundamental issues. © 2020 Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.BACKGROUND A clinical swallow examination (CSE) provides integral information that informs the diagnostic decision-making process within dysphagia management. However, multiple studies have highlighted a high degree of reported variability within the CSE process. It has been hypothesized that such variability may be the result of the clinical reasoning process rather than poor practices. AIMS To elucidate the nature of expert, speech-language therapists' (SLTs) clinical reasoning during an initial bedside assessment of patients referred for suspected dysphagia in the acute care environment. METHODS & PROCEDURES An exploratory 'observation of practice' qualitative methodology was used to achieve the aim. Four expert SLTs, from two clinical services, completed CSEs with 10 new referrals for suspected dysphagia. All assessments were video-recorded, and within 30 min of completing the CSE, a video-stimulated 'think aloud' semi-structured interview was conducted in which the SLT was prompted to articulate their clt in structure, whereas the content of the assessment items varied and was tailored to individual patient presentation. Overall, expert SLTs engaged in balanced cycles of inductive hypothesis generation and deductive hypothesis-testing, a hallmark of good clinical assessment and practice. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? Ensuring quality CSE requires a more nuanced approach that considers the role of clinical reasoning in SLTs' decision-making and the potential unintended negative consequences of standardized assessment tools. © 2020 Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.With the advent of direct acting antiviral agents, there has been a rapid rise in hepatitis C virus infected (HCV+) heart transplantation. We aimed to understand local and regional differences in utilization and allocation of HCV+ hearts. Using UNOS de-identified data from 1/1/2016 to 9/30/2019 we compared trends in the utilization rates (hearts transplanted/donors recovered) of HCV-uninfected (HCV-) to those of HCV+ nonviremic (HCV-NV) and viremic (HCV-V) hearts nationally and by UNOS region. We also evaluated allocation rates (hearts successfully allocated/donors recovered) by organ procurement organization (OPO). We found that (1) in 2019, national utilization rates for HCV-NV and HCV-V hearts were the same as HCV- hearts (27.6% for HCV-NV, 30.9 for HCV-V and 31.7% for HCV-, p=0.277), (2) utilization rates of HCV-NV hearts were low in regions 3 and 4 and of HCV-V hearts in regions 3, 4 and 8 even in the contemporary period since 2018, and (3) there was marked variability in allocation of HCV+ hearts at the OPO level even within the same UNOS region. We conclude that despite national strides in the utilization of HCV+ hearts for transplantation, more aggressive allocation of HCV+ hearts at the OPO level may still significantly impact the organ shortage.

Some studies using mMT mice, which are constitutionally devoid of B cells, showed that B cells were required for the generation of memory T cells after allotransplantation. However, whether B cell depletion in normal adult mice has the same effect on memory responses by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells activated after transplantation has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we investigated the effect of anti-CD20 antibody-mediated B cell depletion on CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cell alloresponses after skin transplantation in wild-type mice. We found that B cell depletion prevented the development of memory alloresponses by CD4+ T cells but enhanced that of CD8+ memory T cells. Next, we tested the influence of B cell depletion on hematopoietic chimerism. In OT-II CD4+ anti-OVA TCR transgenic mice sensitized to ovalbumin antigen, B cell depletion also impaired allospecific memory T cell responses and thereby enhanced donor hematopoietic chimerism and T cell deletion after bone marrow transplantation. This study underscores the complexity of the relationships between B and T cells in the generation and reactivation of different memory T cell subsets after transplantation.

Double perovskites Y 2 CoIrO 6 and Y 2 CoRuO 6 polymorphs synthesized at 0, 6 and 15 GPa show B -site ordering, partial-ordering and disordering respectively, accompanied by lattice compression and crystal structure alteration from monoclinic to orthorhombic symmetry. Correspondingly, the long-range ferrimagnetic ordering in the B -site ordered samples are gradually overwhelmed by B -site disorder. Theoretical calculations suggest that unusual unit cell compressions under external pressures unexpectedly stabilize the disordered phases of Y 2 CoIrO 6 and Y 2 CoRuO 6 . © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
