Among 21 SCs, four showed extreme skewed XCI pattern (~8020) but had normal karyotype and no C43G pathogenic variant in XIST promoter. Clotting FVIII/FIX correlated with the active X in leukocytes. Our data integrate the largest comprehensive research worldwide on the molecular diagnosis of HA and HB carriers in terms of the number of studied and diagnosed cases, in addition to the genetic analysis in SCs. Dynasore Intragenic RFLPs and STRs of F8/F9 genes along with F8 int22h/int1h inversions in SHA emerge as optimal variants for molecular diagnosis in Mexican population. In counseling SCs, inheritance of skewed X-inactivation should be considered.

Coping with cancer is a challenge for both patients and their life partners. Although there is evidence in the literature that supports the patient/partner mutual influence at the level of various psychological variables, it is still limited. This study, based on the Systemic Transactional Model, aims to investigate 1) how the perception of disease of patients and their life partners influences their own dyadic coping and that of the other member of the couple; 2) the influence of the dyadic coping of patients and their partners on the quality of their own life and that of the other member of the couple.

This cross-sectional study aims to recruit 131 dyads consisting of oncology patients in the active treatment phase and their life partners. Perception of disease, dyadic coping and quality of life will be evaluated for each participant. The collected data will be analysed by applying the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM).

The results highlighted in this study have the potential to help define future couple interventions that aim to improve quality of life of those facing cancer.

Little is known about the roles of non-equilibrium states of interactions between supramolecules in living systems. Here, a non-equilibrium state of interaction between supramolecular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Aβ42, an aggregate-prone protein that causes Alzheimer's disease (AD), was identified. Structurally, Aβ42 presents a specific groove that is recognized by the amphiphilicity of LPS bait in a non-equilibrium manner. Functionally, the transient complex elicits a cellular response to clear extracellular Aβ42 deposits in neuronal cells. Since the impaired clearance of toxic Aβ42 deposits correlates with AD pathology, the non-equilibrium LPS and Aβ42 could represent a useful target for developing AD therapeutics.

The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study (GRLS) is one of the largest canine cohort studies undertaken in the United States to date. This study design allows for evaluation of multiple exposures and outcomes throughout the lifetime of each dog, but relies on participants to comply with study requirements over a long period of time. Failure to do so can lead to biased reporting of results.

To examine factors associated with dog owner compliance for GRLS.

Golden Retrievers (n = 3044) whose owners elected to participate in GRLS.

Prospective, cohort study. A logistic regression model was constructed to examine associations between data collected at the time of initial enrollment in GRLS and the outcome of failure to fulfill all study obligations at the end of the first year after enrollment in GRLS.

There were 192 (6.3%) owners who did not comply with study requirements 1 year after enrollment. Owners of dogs without a record of vaccination had nearly 4 times higher odds (adjusted OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.5, 9.2) of being noncompliant than owners of vaccinated dogs and owners of dogs that slept in the garage had nearly 6 times higher odds (adjusted OR 5.7, 95% CI 1.9, 17.0) of being noncompliant than owners of dogs that slept in their bedroom.

Survey questions about a dog's sleeping location at night and vaccination status are important indicators of an owner's odds of compliance in a prospective study. Use of similar questions during enrollment in cohort studies might help to predict owner compliance that can aid in subject selection.

Social cognition encompasses facial expression recognition (FER), theory of mind, and empathy. Although studies examining FER in large numbers of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia are rare, relative preservation of happiness recognition in dementia was reported in some studies. In this study, we examined performance on FER tests and its relationship to clinical demographics and other cognitive function test scores in patients with cognitive decline.

The present study administered an FER test and several cognitive tests to outpatients at a memory clinic. The FER test presents four facial expressions (happiness, surprise, anger, and sadness). A total of 187 patients were placed in one of the three groups based on their cognitive status dementia group (n = 63), MCI group (n = 92), and normal cognition group (n = 32).

The total scores on the FER test significantly differed among the three groups (normal > MCI > dementia). In the recognition of happiness and surprise, the dementia group had significantly lower scores than the normal cognition group. There were no significant differences in the recognition of anger and sadness scores among the three groups. The FER scores for happiness and surprise were primarily related to executive function scores, but the FER scores for anger and sadness were primarily related to age.

We note the difference in recognition of causative factors among the four emotions (happiness, surprise, anger, sadness). Our study raises serious doubts about the preservation of happiness recognition hypothesis in dementia based on FER tests.
