This paper presents the results of a study on the characteristics of semiconductor sensors based on thin SnO films modified with antimony, dysprosium, and silver impurities and dispersed double Pt/Pd catalysts deposited on the surface to detect carbon monoxide (CO). An original technology was developed, and ceramic targets were made from powders of Sn-Sb-O, Sn-Sb-Dy-O, and Sn-Sb-Dy-Ag-O systems synthesized by the sol-gel method. Films of complex composition were obtained by RF magnetron sputtering of the corresponding targets, followed by technological annealing at various temperatures.

NBAS gene variants cause phenotypically distinct and nonoverlapping conditions, SOPH syndrome and ILFS2. NBAS is a so-called "moonlighting" protein responsible for retrograde membrane trafficking and nonsense-mediated decay. However, its three-dimensional model and the nature of its possible interactions with other proteins have remained elusive.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are serious complications of type 2 diabetes, leading to chronic skin ulcers that are difficult and costly to treat; early prediction could help mitigate these issues.
  • A study conducted on diabetic patients in the Moscow region evaluated genetic markers (SNPs) linked to DFUs, but results failed to confirm many previous associations.
  • Interestingly, a specific variant in the TCF7l2 gene, which is a known type 2 diabetes risk factor, appeared to have a protective effect against DFUs, hinting at the potential complexity of genetic influences versus environmental factors.

We report a case of an eight-year-old boy with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) II with atypical skin lesions of hyperpigmented streaks along Blaschko's lines. This case presented with mild symptoms of MPS such as hepatosplenomegaly, joint stiffness, and quite mild bone deformity, which was the reason for the delay in diagnosis until the age of seven years. However, he showed an intellectual disability that did not meet the diagnostic criteria for an attenuated form of MPS II.
