    Abstract Contemporary rheumatology is a field dealing with the phenomena of autoimmune states and inflammation. Rheumatic diseases cover a wide spectrum of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, connective tissue and vessels. The occurrence of an immune, autoimmune and autoinflammatory response is often linked to different kinds of infections. Which aspects of the coronavirus infection relate to rheumatological therapy and practice? In order to answer this question one needs to look at the pathogenesis of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Antimalarial drugs may block antigen presentation of the viral peptides from antigen presenting cells, as they may alter the lysosomal proteases that mediate the viral entry in the cells and have demonstrated efficacy in improving the infection. Anti-IL-6 may interfere with cytokine storm in severe cases and use of tocilizumab has had good results in a small cohort. Baricitinib not only plays a role in inhibiting the synthesis of cytokines but it also has a function in suppressing receptor-mediated endocytosis. The constantly new and tested concepts in the treatment of COVID testify to the growing knowledge about the virus, but also to the need for more targeted therapy. Treatment regimens have been developed for both patients with COVID-19 and those with symptomatic SARS-CoV infection and rheumatic disease. This article is an attempt to discuss the management of COVID-19 and coexisting rheumatic disease.

    Abstract Transverse myelitis is one of the causes of acute transverse myelopathy; three main categories are described in the differential diagnosis of transverse myelitis: demyelination (multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica), infections (herpes zoster and herpes simplex virus), and some autoimmune connective tissue disorders (systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis). The authors present a clinical case of a 33-year-old patient with transverse myelitis occurring in the course of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome). The patient's medical history was notable. The patient was diagnosed with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (Moschcowitz syndrome) and leukocytoclastic vasculitis when he was 12 years old.

    Abstract Infectious spondylodiscitis is characterized by vertebral osteomyelitis, spondylitis, and discitis. Patients present with persistent low back pain, fever, or neurological findings. Diagnosis is made with a combination of clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings. Magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) has high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis and differentiation of the type of spondylodiscitis and may reveal signs of spondylodiscitis even in very early stages. Infectious spondylodiscitis responds to antimicrobial therapy well if diagnosed early before development of neurological deficit and requirement of surgical intervention. We present a clinical case of spondylodiscitis developing in a young immunocompetent man without any predisposing factors.

    Abstract In this study, as a product from the efficient Achmatowicz rearrangement and mild subsequent hydrogenation-reduction reactions of biorenewable C5 alcohols derived from lignocellulose, pentane-1,2,5-triol was successfully used after oxypropylation in the preparation of rigid polyurethane foams-one of the most important classes of polymeric materials. Despite the broad range of applications, the production of polyurethanes is still highly dependent on petrochemical materials considering the need of renewable raw materials and new process technologies for the production of polyol or isocyanate components as a key point for the sustainable development of polyurethane foams. The synthesized oxypropylated pentane-1,2,5-triol was analyzed using proton NMR spectroscopy, hydroxyl number, and viscosity, whereas the newly obtained foams incorporated with up to 30% biorenewable polyol were characterized using compressive stress, thermogravimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The modified rigid polyurethanes showed better compressive strength (>400.0 kPa), a comparable thermal degradation range at 325-450 °C, and similar morphological properties to those of commercial polyurethane formulations.

    Abstract Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic vasculitis characterised by bronchial asthma, hypereosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis. History of asthma with blood eosinophilia and multiorgan involvement are the important clues to suspect EGPA. In the original paper by Churg and Strauss cardiac, gastrointestinal tract, renal, and neurological involvement were noted more frequently. The pattern of neurological involvement may be mononeuritis multiplex, and symmetrical and asymmetrical polyneuropathy. Mononeuritis multiplex was present in 78.1% while cranial nerves were involved in only 4.1% of cases. Glucocorticosteroids and immunosuppressants, especially cyclophosphamide, have considerably improved the prognosis and overall survival rates in patients with systemic vasculitis, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The authors present a clinical case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis with severe mononeuritis multiplex. The case reflects the successful application of a cyclophosphamide regime as a remission inducer.
