The article presents the results of clinical economical analysis, based on "cost-effectiveness" technology, of MALDI-TOF MS, innovative medical technology of express identification of microorganisms, calculation of incremental indicator and application of notion "willingness-to-pay-threshold". Due to the extension of sanctions against the Russian Federation, this medical equipment for national laboratories becomes difficult to access and expensive, that conditions necessity to scientifically substantiate economical effectiveness of implementation of expensive innovative MALDI-TOF MS technology as instrument to contain global antibiotic resistance increase. The understanding of importance of express identification of microorganisms as well as other positive effects that can be achieved by using modern medical equipment on the basis of mass spectrometry results in improving medical care quality, increasing reputation level of medical institution, greater commitment of physicians and patients to microbiological analysis with purpose of prescription of rational antibiotic therapy and improving population health.

In this paper, a novel recursive hierarchical parametric identification method based on initial value optimization is proposed for Wiener-Hammerstein systems subject to stochastic measurement noise. By transforming the traditional Wiener-Hammerstein system model into a generalized form, the system model parameters are uniquely expressed for estimation. To avoid cross-coupling between estimating block-oriented model parameters, a hierarchical identification algorithm is presented by dividing the parameter vector into two subvectors containing the coupled and uncoupled terms for estimation, respectively.

Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine in duplex RNA, and through the delivery of guide RNAs, can be directed to edit specific adenosine sites. As ADARs are endogenously expressed in humans, their editing capacities hold therapeutic potential and allow us to target disease-relevant sequences in RNA through the rationale design of guide RNAs. However, current design principles are not suitable for difficult-to-edit target sites, posing challenges to unlocking the full therapeutic potential of this approach.

Objective: To analyze the influence of proxemic factors on communication and care provided by nursing professionals during transfusion in hemotherapy.
Method: A descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study with 25 nursing professionals from a hospital specializing in onco-hematological diseases in Rio de Janeiro, based on a systematized script, individual records of proxemic factors described by Edward Hall and recorded situational interviews. The analysis considered data thematic content and used the SketchUp 3D Modeling Software Review program to visually demonstrate the behavioral mapping of the interaction of nursing professionals with patients during care.

Introduction: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most frequent and serious organic manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Autophagy, a new form of programmed cell death, has been implicated in a variety of renal diseases, but the relationship between autophagy and LN remains unelucidated.
Methods: We analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in kidney tissues from 14 LN patients and 7 normal controls using the GSE112943 dataset.
