    Abstract There have been recent advances in the application of online games that assess motor skill acquisition/learning and its relationship to age and biological sex, both of which are associated with dementia risk. While this online motor learning assessment (called Super G), along with other computer-based cognitive tests, was originally developed to be completed on a computer, many people (including older adults) have been shown to access the internet through a mobile device. Thus, to improve the generalizability of our online motor skill learning game, it must not only be compatible with mobile devices but also yield replicable effects of various participant characteristics on performance relative to the computer-based version. It is unknown if age and sex differentially affect game performance as a function of device type (keyboard versus touchscreen control). Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate if device type modifies the established effects of age and sex on performance. Although there was a main effect of device on performance, this effect did not alter the overall relationship between performance vs. age or sex. This establishes that Super G can now effectively be extended to both computer and mobile platforms to further test for dementia risk factors.

    Abstract Introduction: Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and is highly influenced by the degree of HLA matching between recipient and donor. The HLA-class Ib molecule HLA-G has been shown to promote tolerogenicity through its interaction with inhibitory receptors found on several immunocompetent cells. We hypothesized that in an allo-HSCT setting, HLA-G mismatches may negatively impact the HLA-G-mediated tolerogenicity either due to inefficient interaction with the inhibitory receptors of the transplanted immune cells or due to direct allorecognition of mismatched HLA-G on host cells by the immune cells of the donor.
    Methods: In order to explore this hypothesis, we investigated the impact of HLA-G mismatching in 2.083 10/10 matched high resolution HLA-typed allo-HSCT transplants.
    Results: We found that the risk of chronic GvHD was significantly higher in HLA-G-mismatched transplant cases as compared with the HLA-G-matched control group (HR: 1.46, 95%CI = 1.11-1.91, p = 0.006). Sub-analysis of the mismatch vector revealed that this effect was only detectable in the GvH (HR: 1.89, 95%CI 1.39-2.57, p < 0.001) but not the HvG direction (HR: 1.01, 95%CI = 0.63-1.63, p = 0.967). In addition, the negative impact of HLA-G mismatching on chronic GvHD was only significant in younger patients (<30y HR: 3.02, 95%CI = 1.25-7.28, p = 0.014; >29y HR: 1.28, 95%CI = 0.94-1.72, p = 0.113).
    Discussion: Our results indicate that HLA-G mismatches may contribute to the onset of chronic GvHD, especially in younger patients and should therefore be avoided when possible.

    Abstract G-CSF for stem cell mobilization increases circulating levels of myeloid cells at different stages of maturation. Polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) are also mobilized in high numbers. It was previously reported that G-CSF primes PMNs toward the release of neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs). Since NETs are often involved in thrombotic events, we hypothesized that high G-CSF blood concentrations could enhance PMN priming toward NET formation in healthy hematopoietic stem cell donors, predisposing them to thrombotic events. However, we found that G-CSF does not prime PMNs toward NETs formation, but increases the serum concentration of cell-free DNA, proteases like neutrophils elastase and myeloperoxidase, and reactive oxygen species. This could possibly create an environment disposed to induce thrombotic events in the presence of additional predisposing factors.

    Abstract Background: The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) is a rating system consisting of four dimensions to evaluate elbow performance. It is a common tool for assessment of elbow impairments worldwide. We determined the validity and reliability of its German version (MEPS-G) after cross-cultural adaptation.
    Methods: Six investigators examined 57 patients with elbow pathologies. The MEPS-G was compared to validated elbow scores such as the German versions of DASH, the Oxford Elbow Score, pain level and subjective elbow performance on a VAS. Inter-rater reliability (IRR) and validity of the score and its dimensions were also reviewed. Verification was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the prevalence and bias with adjusted Kappa (PABAK) and the Spearman correlation.
    Results: The IRR of the MEPS-G score was moderate (ICC (2.1) = 0.65). The IRR of the four individual dimensions was moderate to high (K
    Conclusion: The MEPS-G is not sufficiently valid, which is consistent with its English version. The patient-based dimensions were a weakness, demonstrating high risk of bias. There is no general recommendation for the utilization of the MEPS-G as outcome measurement for patients with elbow pathologies.

    Abstract: ... with higher immunoglobulin (Ig) G titers, greater complement activation, and higher disease severity score ...

    Abstract Background: Excessive complement activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the mechanisms leading to this response remain unclear.
    Methods: We measured plasma levels of key complement markers, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal human common cold coronaviruses (CCCs) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 of moderate (n = 18) and critical severity (n = 37) and in healthy controls (n = 10).
    Results: We confirmed that complement activation is systemically increased in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with a worse disease outcome. We showed that plasma levels of C1q and circulating immune complexes were markedly increased in patients with severe COVID-19 and correlated with higher immunoglobulin (Ig) G titers, greater complement activation, and higher disease severity score. Additional analyses showed that the classical pathway was the main arm responsible for augmented complement activation in severe patients. In addition, we demonstrated that a rapid IgG response to SARS-CoV-2 and an anamnestic IgG response to the nucleoprotein of the CCCs were strongly correlated with circulating immune complex levels, complement activation, and disease severity.
    Conclusions: These findings indicate that early, nonneutralizing IgG responses may play a key role in complement overactivation in severe COVID-19. Our work underscores the urgent need to develop therapeutic strategies to modify complement overactivation in patients with COVID-19.
