    Abstract When the memristor was fabricated for the first time, it launched an entirely new field of research. Many of the published papers regarding memristors are primarily theoretical and are based on computer simulations. Some recent papers analyze the memristor's programming circuits, but to the best of the authors' knowledge, no memristor has been embedded into a commercial analog circuit. This paper is practically oriented and it is based on the experimental results obtained by measurements on the circuit prototype. We present a solution for automated programming of a commercially available memristor and its implementation in tunable active bandpass filter design. The novelty of this paper is that the active bandpass filter's central frequency could be programmed during the filter operation, so a pause for memristor state-switching is not required. The experimental results are promising, and open up possibilities for the memristor's application in analog systems.

    Abstract Carbohydrate sulfotransferases (CHST) catalyse the biosynthesis of proteoglycans that enable physical interactions and signalling between different neighbouring cells in physiological and pathological states. The study aim was to provide an overview of emerging diagnostic and prognostic applications of CHST. PubMed database search was conducted using the keywords "carbohydrate sulfotransferase" together with appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria, whereby 41 publications were selected. Additionally, 40 records on CHST genetic and biochemical properties were hand-picked from UniProt, GeneCards, InterPro, and neXtProt databases. Carbohydrate sulfotransferases have been applied mainly in diagnostics of connective tissue disorders, cancer and inflammations. The lack of CHST activity was found in congenital connective tissue disorders while CHST overexpression was detected in different malignancies. Mutations of

    Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by obstructions of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in repetitive breathing pauses accompanied by oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. OSA can be successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), weight loss, positional therapy, oral appliances, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and surgical procedures. It has been observed that untreated OSA is related to chronic disorders including hypertension, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, stroke, depression, and cognitive decline. Event-related potentials (ERPs) is the procedure that has been widely used for evaluating cognitive brain functions. Using auditory event-related potentials (P300), this study aimed to examine the effect of CPAP therapy on cognitive functions in patients with moderate and severe OSA. The results of the study showed improvement in P300 latency and amplitude after 3 months of CPAP therapy, indicating a positive effect of CPAP therapy in the prevention of cognitive decline in patients with OSA.

    Abstract Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal recessive disease that mimics congenital viral infection and mainly affects the brain, immune system, and skin. The dominant clinical symptom is the subacute onset of severe encephalopathy, which manifests as irritability, loss of ability, slowing of head growth, and poor nutrition. Arteriopathy in AGS is an uncommon manifestation usually associated with mutations in the SAMHD1 gene. We present a rare case of a 3-year-old male due to failure to thrive, global developmental delay, microcephaly, poor vision, upper and lower limbs spasticity, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), who harbored early stenotic lesions of the large and medium intracranial arteries with ischemic sequelae in the early postnatal life. Performed genetic testing confirmed homozygous gene mutation, SAMHD1 associated with AGS type 5. By reviewing the available literature, we were able to find only one patient whose arterial lesions were diagnosed after 6 months.

    Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by generalized microangiopathy and fibrosis of skin and internal organs. The 2013 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria have contributed considerably to classifying patients with SSc in earlier stages, but they still lack sensitivity for a very early stage of the disease. Criteria for a very early diagnosis of SSc (VEDOSS) have been proposed by EULAR Scleroderma Trial and Research group (EUSTAR) which include three red flags: Raynaud's phenomenon, puffy fingers and antinuclear antibody positivity, plus SSc specific antibodies positivity and/or abnormal nailfold capillaroscopy. We report a case of a 54-year-old female patient with 6-week history of puffy fingers, Raynaud phenomenon and positive antinuclear antibodies. Further workup revealed early pathologic capillary pattern by nailfold capillaroscopy and positive anticentromere antibodies. Screening for internal organ involvement detected no heart, lung, or upper gastrointestinal tract involvement. The patient was started on pentoxifylline with further follow-up. The aim of the implementation of VEDOSS criteria is to diagnose SSc at the earliest possible stage, so that subclinical internal organ involvement could be detected and appropriate treatment started at a potentially reversible stage.

    Abstract A review of a rare case of a proven mutation in the RP1 gene (RP1c.2029C>T, p. (ARG677*) in a kidney transplant patient was presented herein. According to his medical history, he had tonsillectomy performed at the age of 20 due to erythrocyturia, and at the age of 32 he was treated for malignant hypertension. The patient had been diagnosed with chronic renal failure at age 56 years. During an eye examination in 2016, retinitis pigmentosa was suspected and the patient was advised to run further tests. After an ophthalmological examination and tests, genetic testing was performed and a mutation in the RP1 gene encoding a family of proteins which are components of microtubules in photoreceptor primary cilia was proven. The literature search found that mutations in the RP1 gene have so far been exclusively associated with a non-syndromic form of retinal degeneration. However, the RP1 protein is expressed in the kidneys, and it remains unclear why the mutation of this gene so far was only specifically related to retinal photoreceptor function and not to arterial hypertension and renal disease. Primary cilia are thought to act as potential mechanosensory fluid-flow receptors in the vascular endothelium and kidney and their dysfunction results in atherosclerotic changes, hypertension, and chronic renal failure.

    Abstract The transition from paediatric care to adult care is often difficult, especially in children with chronic diseases like asthma. A significant number of children reach remission throughout puberty; consequently, they are not tracked down for subsequent follow-ups and are not included in transition programmes to adult care. This case report focuses on a young adult with asthma that began in childhood and went into remission during adolescence, only to experience a recurrence when the patient was a young adult. Due to failing to complete the transition process into adult care services, she had poor adherence to therapy and asthma control.Adherence and asthma control significantly improved after a multidisciplinary approach in an adult care setting. In conclusion, appropriate transition and a multidisciplinary approach are critical for the effective management of asthma in young adults.

    Abstract Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Interleukin-7 (IL-7) are widely studied cytokines within distinct branches of immunology. On one hand, TSLP is crucially important for mediating type 2 immunity at barrier surfaces and has been linked to widespread allergic and inflammatory diseases of the airways, skin, and gut. On the other hand, IL-7 operates at the foundations of T-cell and innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development and homeostasis and has been associated with cancer. Yet, TSLP and IL-7 are united by key commonalities in their structure and the structural basis of the receptor assemblies they mediate to initiate cellular signaling, in particular their cross-utilization of IL-7Rα. As therapeutic targeting of TSLP and IL-7 via diverse approaches is reaching advanced stages and in light of the plethora of mechanistic and structural data on receptor signaling mediated by the two cytokines, the time is ripe to provide integrated views of such knowledge. Here, we first discuss the major pathophysiological roles of TSLP and IL-7 in autoimmune diseases, inflammation and cancer. Subsequently, we curate structural and mechanistic knowledge about receptor assemblies mediated by the two cytokines. Finally, we review therapeutic avenues targeting TSLP and IL-7 signaling. We envision that such integrated view of the mechanism, structure, and modulation of signaling assemblies mediated by TSLP and IL-7 will enhance and fine-tune the development of more effective and selective approaches to further interrogate the role of TSLP and IL-7 in physiology and disease.
