Dementia disrupts communication not only as a cognitive process but as a relational practice, leaving people living with dementia (PLwD) at risk of exclusion when language fragments. This study examines how communication closeness, the felt sense of being understood, emotionally attuned, and socially connected, might be supported through Research in and through Design (Ri&tD).

Vitamin B 12 and potential fertility in male lactovegetarians
Semen and serum vitamin B 12 levels in Indian lactovegetarian and non-vegetarian subjects were estimated along with routine semen examination. Lactovegetarians had distinctly lower serum and semen vitamin B 12 levels than the non-vegetarians. However, in normal and oligospermic subjects the ratio of semen vitamin B 12 to serum vitamin B 12 in the various diet groups was not significantly different and was always greater than one. In azoospermic s…
