However, much of the current information on human T-cell memory is based on analyzing circulating T cells. Here, we have studied the distribution and age-related changes of memory T-cell subsets in samples from blood, mesenteric LNs, spleen, and ileum, obtained from donors ranging in age from 5 days to 67 years of age. Our data show that the main reservoir of polyclonal naive cells is found in the LNs, and the resting memory subsets capable of self-renewal are also prominent there. In contrast, nondividing but functionally active memory subsets dominate the spleen, and especially the ileum. In general, the replacement of naive cells with memory subsets continues throughout our period of observation, with no apparent plateau. In conclusion, the analysis of lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues reveals a dynamic pattern of changes distinct to each tissue, and with substantial differences between CD4+ and CD8+ compartments.

Binge alcohol exposure during adolescence results in long-lasting alterations in the brain and behavior. For example, adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) exposure in rodents results in long-term loss of functional connectivity among prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatal regions as well as a variety of neurochemical, molecular, and epigenetic alterations. Interneurons in the PFC and striatum play critical roles in behavioral flexibility and functional connectivity. For example, parvalbumin (PV) interneurons are known to contribute to neural synchrony and cholinergic interneurons contribute to strategy selection. Furthermore, extracellular perineuronal nets (PNNs) that surround some interneurons, particularly PV+ interneurons, further regulate cellular plasticity. The effect of AIE exposure on the expression of these markers within the PFC is not well understood.

The present study tested the hypothesis that AIE exposure reduces the expression of PV+ and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)+ interneurons in thehis increase in PNNs may restrict the plasticity of the ensheathed neurons, thereby contributing to impaired microcircuitry in frontostriatal connectivity and related behavioral impairments.

These findings indicate that, following AIE exposure, PV interneuron expression in the adult PFC and striatum is unaltered, while PNNs surrounding these neurons are increased. This increase in PNNs may restrict the plasticity of the ensheathed neurons, thereby contributing to impaired microcircuitry in frontostriatal connectivity and related behavioral impairments.

We aimed to investigate the association of mild thrombocytopenia with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and blood transfusion among women with twin gestations.

A retrospective cohort study (Jan 2015 to May 2019) was performed. Women with twin pregnancies and pre-delivery mild thrombocytopenia were compared to those with normal platelet count. The primary outcome was the rate of PPH, defined as a composite of one or more of the following (1) need for packed red blood cell transfusion; (2) postpartum hemoglobin decline of ≥3g/dL; and (3) the use of postpartum uterotonics agents in addition to oxytocin.

Of 1085 women who were included in final analysis, 315 (30.9%) had mild thrombocytopenia (and 770 (69.1%) served as controls. The rate of PPH was increased in the study group (14% vs. 9.4%, P =0.03), as was the use of uterotonic agents (3.8% vs. 1.3%, respectively, P =0.02). The rate of blood product transfusion and hemoglobin decline >3g/dL was not significantly different between the groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, mild thrombocytopenia was associated with a higher risk for PPH (OR 1.55 [95% CI 1.02-2.35], P =0.02).

Mild thrombocytopenia in twin pregnancies is associated with an increased risk of interventions such as the use of uterotonic agents.

The genetic background of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is poorly understood compared to other dementia disorders. The aim of the study was to investigate the genetic background of VCI in a well-characterized Finnish cohort.

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was applied in 45 Finnish VCI patients. Copy-number variant (CNV) analysis using a SNP array was performed in 80 VCI patients. This study also examined the prevalence of variants at the miR-29 binding site of COL4A1 in 73 Finnish VCI patients.

In 40% (18/45) of the cases, WES detected possibly causative variants in genes associated with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) or other neurological or stroke-related disorders. These variants included HTRA1c.847G>A p.(Gly283Arg), TREX1c.1079A>G, p.(Tyr360Cys), COLGALT1c.1411C>T, p.(Arg471Trp), PRNP c.713C>T, p.(Pro238Leu), and MTHFRc.1061G>C, p.(Gly354Ala). Additionally, screening of variants in the 3'UTR of COL4A1 gene in a sub-cohort of 73 VCI patients identified a novel variant c.*36T>A. CNV analysis showed that pathogenic CNVs are uncommon in VCI.

These data support pathogenic roles of variants in HTRA1, TREX1 and in the 3'UTR of COL4A1 in CSVD and VCI, and suggest that vascular pathogenic mechanisms are linked to neurodegeneration, expanding the understanding of the genetic background of VCI.

The University of Minnesota (UMN) Dental Hygiene (DH) program devotes considerable time developing students' competency using motivational interviewing (MI). However, the extent to which graduates use MI in clinical practice and their perceptions of MI effectiveness in changing behavior is unknown.

A cross-section of UMN dental hygiene classes from 2010-2019 were emailed an electronic survey using Qualtrics

software (n=208). The survey instrument collected demographic information and queried respondents' current MI use and perceptions of its effectiveness in changing patients' behavior. Survey questions were aligned with the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Data analyses included descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, and one-way ANOVA tests.

There were 73 responses for a 35% response rate and 58 surveys (28%) included in data analysis. Respondents (95%) used MI, held positive attitudes toward MI and perceived MI to bfelt supported to use MI in their work environments.

Digital melanoma is an uncommon form of acral melanoma that is anatomically restricted to the finger. The aim of this study is to provide specific epidemiological and clinical information about this subtype of melanoma, as well as to identify differences in recurrence and survival depending on the anatomical sublocation.

We describe a group of 45 Caucasian patients with digital melanoma divided into three groups nail unit melanoma (group A), finger skin melanoma (group B), and those melanomas that involve both nail and adjacent skin (group C).

The mean tumor thickness was 4.66 mm, and the most common histological subtype is acral lentiginous melanoma. Group C was more frequent in older men and was thicker and more frequently ulcerated (P < 0.05). In addition, patients in group C developed distant metastases more frequently and had a significantly lower median disease-free survival (26.60 months) compared with group A (69.47 months) and group B (89.81 months) (P < 0.05).

According to our results, digital melanoma limited to nail apparatus or finger skin was associated with a better prognosis, while those affecting both nail apparatus and skin showed lower melanoma-specific survival.

To examine the phenomenology of stuttering across the lifespan in the largest prospective cohort to date.

Participants aged 7years and older with a history of developmental stuttering were recruited. Self-reported phenotypic data were collected online including stuttering symptomatology, co-occurring phenotypes, genetic predisposition, factors associated with stuttering severity, and impact on anxiety, education, and employment.

A total of 987 participants (852 adults 590 males, 262 females, mean age 49years [SD=17years 10months; range=18-93years] and 135 children 97 males, 38 females, mean age 11years 4months [SD=3years; range=7-17years]) were recruited. Fluspirilene Stuttering onset occurred at age 3 to 6years in 64.0%. Blocking (73.2%) was the most frequent phenotype; 75.9% had sought stuttering therapy and 15.5% identified as having recovered. Half (49.9%) reported a family history. There was a significant negative correlation with age for both stuttering frequency and severity in adults. Most were anxious due to stuttering (90.4%) and perceived stuttering as a barrier to education and employment outcomes (80.7%).

The frequent persistence of stuttering and the high proportion with a family history suggest that stuttering is a complex trait that does not often resolve, even with therapy. These data provide new insights into the phenotype and prognosis of stuttering, information that is critically needed to encourage the development of more effective speech therapies.

To evaluate the risk of spontaneous preterm birth on subsequent pregnancies after second stage cesarean section.

This is a retrospective cohort study. Women were included if they had their two consecutive births in Toulouse University Hospital in the study period. The first birth was a singleton livebirth at term (≥37 weeks of gestation), divided in three categories according to the mode of delivery vaginal delivery (group A), cesarean section before the second stage of labor (group B), cesarean section during the second stage of labor (group C). The subsequent pregnancy was the first subsequent pregnancy, conducted after 16 weeks of gestation. The primary outcome was spontaneous preterm birth in the subsequent pregnancy, defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation. Secondary endpoints included preterm rupture of membranes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Between 2003 and 2018, 7776 women (84.7%) in group A, 1263 (13.8%) in group B and 143 (1.5%) in group C were included. The adjusted odds ratio of spontaneous preterm birth before 37 weeks of gestation after second stage cesarean section was 2.
