In this number, we begin publication of case series devoted to epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, medical and social consequences of COVID-19. Taking into account the situation anxiety, infection scope and spread rate, involvement of the whole nation into the problem irrespective of gender, age, social affiliations along with comprehensive observing social and medical prevention measures, preemptive training and continuing education of medical specialists are essential considering that novel coronavirus is new not only viewed from its molecular biological features perspective but also from the perspective of possible difficulties of diagnosis and treatment, clinical features, high risk of development of critical con- ditions and complications, high mortality rate that has been shown by an example of China, USA, and European Countries.In the first report, we tried to highlight the experience gained in the study of novel coronavirus nature, epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, give information from literature sources based on the experience of our colleagues in coping with serious disease and its consequences.

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.
