Background: Experiential knowledge can aid in designing research by highlighting what an idea looks like from a patient and carer perspective. Experiential knowledge can be emotional, and this can create challenges at formal research meetings.

Objective: The aim of this study was to consider the role of emotions in public involvement.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety of the Fecal Microbial Transplant for Sjogren Syndrome (FMT) trial in individuals with immune-mediated dry eye (DE).

Design: Open-label, nonrandomized clinical trial.

Methods: The study population included 10 individuals with DE symptoms and signs meeting criteria for Sjögren or positive early Sjögren markers.

In 2012, Texas experienced the largest outbreak of human West Nile encephalitis (WNE) since the introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) in 2002. Despite the large number of WNV infections, data indicated the rate of reported WNE among human cases was no higher than in previous years. To determine whether the increase in WNV human cases could have been caused by viral genetic changes, the complete genomes of 17 isolates made from mosquito pools in Dallas and Montgomery Counties in 2012 were sequenced.

The synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterization of the aryloxy and amino functionalized chloroboryl complexes (eta(5)-C(5)R(5))Fe(CO)(2)B(OMes)Cl (R = H, 2a ; R = Me, 3a) and (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(CO)(2)B(N(i)Pr(2))Cl (7a) are reported. Compound 2ais shown to be a versatile substrate for further boron-centred substitution chemistry leading to the asymmetric boryl complexes (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(CO)(2)B(OMes)ER(n) [ER(n) = OC(6)H(4)(t)Bu-4, 2c; ER(n) = SPh, 2d] with retention of the metal-boron bond. The reactivities of 2a, 3a and 7a towards the halide abstraction agent Na[BAr(f)(4)] have also been examined, in order to investigate the potential for the generation of cationic heteroatom-stabilized terminal borylene complexes.
