If there is a good haematological response to treatment, up to 50% of patients with renal failure will restore their renal function. Renal function repair can be accelerated by removing light chains from serum by dialysis with high-cutoff membrane (HCO-HD). Using this procedure can increase the chance of dialysis independence in more than 60% of patients with renal failure. Data from previously published studies on HCO-HD (MYRE or EuLITE study) have not yielded as optimistic results as originally expected, however, HCO-HD could be beneficial for some subgroup of patients with renal failure in myeloma kidney. Despite the fact that overall prognosis and survival of patients with multiple myeloma have dramatically improved, the condition with renal failure in these patients remains serious.Cancer immunotherapy has become a standard therapeutic option in oncology over the past few decades. From the early anti-tumor vaccine experiments in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, its journey led through the discovery of the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation principles in the nineteen-seventies, introduction of monoclonal antibodies in the nineteen-nineties, their enhancing in the form of immunoconjugates and bispecific antibody constructs, up to todays checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR T-cells). Not so long ago, a treatment with genetically modified lymphocytes may have seemed quite like science fiction, but nowadays, these “living drugs“ are already being administered to patients with hematological malignancies in the Czech Republic. Some may see CAR T-cells as a breakthrough treatment method and bright future of oncology, others perhaps just as an overhyped sensation, in which the cost far exceeds the efficacy. Either way, CAR T-cells will soon become a relatively routine treatment option for patients with resistant lymphoproliferative diseases. Our article aims to introduce this new interesting method to specialists outside the fields of hematology and oncology.Obstructive sleep apnea is common disorder affecting approximately one quarter of the common population. Prevalence is even higher in a population with increased vascular risk. Obstructive sleep apnea is a significant risk factor for hypertension, with approximately 50% of obstructive sleep apnea patients suffering hypertension. While the relationship between sleep apnea and hypertension has been firmly established, mechanisms linking these disorders are still poorly understood. (R)-HTS-3 Importance of sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system hyperactivity as well as endothelial dysfunction is suspected. There is increasing evidence supporting gut dysbiosis as one of the underlying mechanisms. Current article describes possible mechanisms linking obstructive sleep apnea with the development of hypertension. The role of gut microbiota in this process is discussed more closely.Sarcoidosis is a disorder of unknown etiology, that may affect any organ in human body, most often lungs and lymph nodes. New diagnostic guidelines and new treatment recommendations were recently published. Since differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis is broad, diagnostic algorithm has to be complex. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed before initiation of any any treatment regimen - it is a severe mistake to start treatment before confirmation of diagnosis (histologic pattern of epitheloid non necrotising granuloma, exclusion of other possible causes of granulomatous diseases, exclusive situations mentioned in the article body). Not every patient with sarcoidosis needs pharmacologic treatment. Treatment decision should involve extent of involvement, risk of damage of affected organs and patient symptoms. While in patients with Löfgren syndrome both histologic verification and systemic corticotherapy is not needed (systemic corticotherapy should be avoided), pharmacologic treatment is necessary in patients with myocardial involvement.Infection with a new type of coronavirus surprised with the diversity of its clinical symptoms. The disease may be asymptomatic, with only mild symptoms in the form of olfactory loss, general weakness or flu-like symptoms. However, in some patients, COVID-19 infection can be severe, with hypercoagulation being a common finding, with vascular endothelial damage and the consequent risk of venous and arterial thrombotic complications. Coa-gulopathy subsequently significantly worsens the prognosis of patients and increases overall mortality. Recently, a new term has been introduced to indicate the presence of activated hemostasis in SARS-CoV-2 infection - coagulopathy associated with COVID-19 (CAC). The current global pandemic of COVID-19 has triggered intensive research on the disease, which has clarified a number of findings about the infection, but we still have many unanswered questions, especially regarding possible treatment.Perturbation facilitated double-resonant four-wave mixing is applied to access high-lying vibrational levels of the X 1Σg+ (0g+) ground state of Cu2. Rotationally resolved transitions up to v″ = 102 are measured. The highest observed level is at 98% of the dissociation energy. The range and accuracy of previous measurements are significantly extended. By applying the near dissociation equation developed by Le Roy [R. J. Le Roy, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 186, 197 (2017)], a dissociation energy of De = 16 270(7) hc cm-1 is determined, and an accurate potential energy function for the X 1Σg+ (0g+) ground state is obtained. Molecular constants are determined from the measured transitions and by solving the radial Schrödinger equation using this function and are compared with results from earlier measurements. In addition, benchmark multi-reference configuration interaction computations are performed using the Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian and the appropriate basis of augmented valence quadruple ζ type. Coupled-cluster single, double, and perturbative triple calculations were performed for comparison.Markov processes provide a popular approach to construct low-dimensional dynamical models of a complex biomolecular system. By partitioning the conformational space into metastable states, protein dynamics can be approximated in terms of memory-less jumps between these states, resulting in a Markov state model (MSM). Alternatively, suitable low-dimensional collective variables may be identified to construct a data-driven Langevin equation (dLE). In both cases, the underlying Markovian approximation requires a propagation time step (or lag time) δt that is longer than the memory time τM of the system. On the other hand, δt needs to be chosen short enough to resolve the system timescale τS of interest. If these conditions are in conflict (i.e., τM > τS), one may opt for a short time step δt = τS and try to account for the residual non-Markovianity of the data by optimizing the transition matrix or the Langevin fields such that the resulting model best reproduces the observables of interest. In this work, rescaling the friction tensor of the dLE based on short-time information in order to obtain the correct long-time behavior of the system is suggested.
