We evaluated whether the format in which prices are presented determines the processing of their magnitude. A price comparison task was used in which two-digit prices with Arabic digits, written number words and auditory number words were presented in the euro currency. SCR7 solubility dmso Prices were number-monetary category (NMC) compatible (49 euros - 36 cents) when the number and monetary category of one price were larger than those of the other (49 > 36, euros > cents); or NMC incompatible (49 cents - 36 euros) when the number of one price was larger but the monetary category smaller than those of the other (49 > 36, cents 3, 6 less then 9). The results showed NMC compatibility effects in all numerical formats. However, the UD compatibility effect was not found in any numerical format. The results are discussed within the hybrid model of multisymbolic magnitude processing.How do embodied states influence the inferences people make about the meaning that is intended by communicators? We propose that embodied states encourage mental representation of certain meanings while inhibiting others, thereby facilitating or hindering comprehension in social interactions and potentially causing miscommunication. Four experiments demonstrate that bodily postures incompatible with the intended meaning of a sentence attenuated inferences of those meanings, especially when the intended meaning was not articulated directly and required more extensive inference-making effort. Participants were faster at responding to sentences containing verbs inferring a sitting position when they were sitting than when they were standing, and vice versa. Participants were also more likely to interpret the intended meaning of sentences as relevant to sitting when participants were themselves sitting, and relevant to standing when participants were standing. These outcomes were especially evident when the sentences required higher-interpretive effort (e.g., used indirect language) than lower-interpretive effort (e.g., used literal language). These results suggest that embodied states shape inference-making and can thereby influence comprehension and affect communication success, especially when inferences are more effortful to make.Telehealth in pediatric ophthalmology has predominantly been utilized and reported in the setting of clinician-to-clinician opinion or store-and-forward of images, particularly in the diagnosis and management of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We present our initial experience of using a telehealth model of care to deliver real-time specialist pediatric ophthalmology services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over a 5-week period, parents were invited to complete an anonymous survey following a telehealth ophthalmology consultation for their child. The survey explored their satisfaction, acceptance, and feedback relating to their experience. With an overall response rate of 49.4%, satisfaction was high (43.8% very satisfied; 38.2% satisfied). Most parents (71.9%) would consider telehealth for future ophthalmology consultations for their child.We report the case of a 2-year-old girl with acute-onset divergent strabismus and ptosis in the right eye. She had an exotropia of 45Δ for near, eyelid ptosis affecting the visual axis, adduction, limitations of up- and downgaze, and a discrete mydriasis in the right eye. Neurological conditions were ruled out. Serology was positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The patient was managed conservatively with ocular physiotherapy and close visual acuity monitoring. On follow-up examination at 1 month, there was marked improvement of the exotropia (25Δ for near), adduction, ptosis, and mydriasis.We report the case of an 11-year-old boy known to have atopic dermatitis who was referred for management of allergic conjunctivitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and anterior blepharitis. After achieving quiescence of these ophthalmic manifestations, he was lost to follow-up and subsequently pre
