In the last years, it has been proved that some viruses are able to re-structure chromatin organization and alter the epigenomic landscape of the host genome. In addition, they are able to affect the physical mechanisms shaping chromatin 3D structure, with a consequent impact on gene activity. Here, we investigate with polymer physics genome re-organization of the host genome upon SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and how it can impact structural variability within the population of single-cell chromatin configurations.

Objective: The impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flares remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to evaluate patients with CMV infection who presented with IBD exacerbation in terms of diagnosis and treatment and investigate the importance of CMV DNA levels in colitis development.
Materials And Methods: Patients who were followed up with IBD and examined with clinical suspicion of CMV colitis at a university hospital between January 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively scanned.

Purpose: This study aimed to present clinical and immunological features in patients with neuroimmune complications of COVID-19 during Omicron wave in China.
Methods: Patients with neuroimmune complications associated with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed in Huashan Hospital from December 2022 to April 2023, during the widespread prevalence of Omicron variants in China. Demographic information, symptoms, electrophysiological findings, cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) test results and immunological markers, Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue infiltration with IgG4-positive plasma cells and a tendency to form mass-like lesions in various organs. IgG4-related sinusitis, although a relatively rare manifestation of IgG4-RD, significantly impacts the paranasal sinuses. A 52-year-old man presented with persistent rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, and headaches.

Rheumatoid pleural effusion (RPE) is a rare complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with no sufficiently established treatment. Sarilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-6 receptors, is widely used to treat RA. Here, we present the case of a 68-year-old man with refractory RA and RPE, who was successfully treated with sarilumab.
