The article’s subject is the content of the EULAR recommendations for intra-articular (i.a.) therapy and their commentary. The recommendations were developed according to the established EULAR methodology and published in the organization's official journal. Making recommendations aims to create practical instructions for doctors for intraarticular therapy. An international panel of two principal authors and 12 experts from six European countries was set up. The final document contains five overarching principles and eleven recommendations. These recommendations include adequate patient information, recommended conditions for intra-articular administration, accuracy, aseptic application, and safety. Some recommendations apply to special populations, such as pregnant women or diabetes patients. The use of local anesthetics is also discussed.After 70 years of using intra-articular therapy, this is the first publication that seeks to standardize and harmonize its technique. The efficacy of individual drugs in various diagnoses is not the subject of this publication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coccygodynia, or tailbone pain, is the most common in women after trauma (complicated childbirth, fall). This pain can be treated conservatively (by using analgesics, local injections, physiotherapy) or by surgical coccygectomy. In the presented article, a set of five female patients is evaluated, in whom, after the failing conservative therapy, coccygectomy was indicated for persistent coccygodynia. In all female patients, improvement of their clinical condition and alleviation of pain were reported. Coccygectomy has its place in the management of coccygodynia and in correctly chosen patients significant pain reduction can be expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pulmonary embolia is serious, often life threatening disease. As a pulmonary embolia prevention anticoagulation therapy is usually used, but in some cases inferior vena cava filter placement is employed. Filter creates a mechanical barrier preventing the passage of the embolus into lungs. We present a case of female patient with ALN caval filter placed 7 years ago after child delivery. She had floating thrombus in inferior vena cava, the top of the thrombus was up to ostium of right renal vein. It was the reason why the filter was placed atypically above renal veins level. Seven years after filter placement the patient complains on non-specific pain in right upper abdominal area. As the risk of pulmonary embolia is not present anymore it was decided to remove the filter by endovascular approach. The filter removal was successful and was complication-free. We had to use a sheath 1 F larger than recommended, most probably due to fibrin coating of the filter anchoring struts. Presented case belongs to the few presented case reports when the filter was removed after relatively long time after placement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Differential diagnosis of unilateral cystic lesions in pulmonary parenchyma is vast. The main causes are emphysematous bullae, posttraumatic lesions, asymmetric fibrosis with honeycombing, etc. But we can find even rare congenital malformations in the broader differential diagnosis. Our case report is presenting a 62 years old female patient in whom there was a great bulla in left upper lobe diagnosed as an accidental finding. The Swyer-James syndrome and emphysematous bullae played the main role in the differential diagnosis. In the broader differential diagnosis, the congenital malformations were considered as possible. The patient underwent a resection and the final diagnosis was congenital pulmonary airway malformation type I. CPAM type I is a precancer to mucous carcinoma and the follow-up is necessary.
