New study:

“The #LongCovid patient showed clear differences in the ventilated area compared to control subject.. uneven distribution of ventilation dominated the findings… a chest CT did not show pathological findings”

“Many #LongCovid patients suffer from dyspnea on exertion. To visualize exercise-induced dyspnea, a post-COVID patient and a healthy volunteer underwent an exercise test on a treadmill under stress relevant to everyday life monitored by electrical impedance tomography (EIT).”
“EIT is suitable for visualizing disturbed ventilation of the lungs, both at rest and under stress. The potential as a diagnostic tool in dyspnea assessment should be investigated”

Dans le Bulletin de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine, une publication importante qui rappelle qu'il existe des biomarqueurs des atteintes neurologiques présentes dans le Covid long :
[thread] #apresj20 #longcovid
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Le neuro-PASC est le phénotype des formes de séquelles du Covid le plus fréquent. Il est généralement associé à d'autres séquelles organiques : cardiovasculaires, immunitaires, pulmonaires, etc.
Dans cette review,
l'équipe du Pr Guedj note que "le COVID long semble être de plus en plus compris comme une atteinte multisystémique, en lien possible avec la distribution ubiquitaire des récepteurs ACE2 ou NRP1 comme possible voie d’entrée cellulaire au virus".

A unifying *hypothesis* to explain the seemingly miraculous response to #TheNicotineTest and how it might prevent PEM in #LongCovid #vaccineinjured #mecfs - a root cause approach to PEM by modulation of the Default Mode Network in the brain. Very long thread incoming!🧵
DMN is activated in the ‘off setting’ - meditation, day dreaming, no chores get done, no brain trigger to adapt to environment, may relate to feeling of being unable to talk/move/ respond in a crash. DMN is deactivated during activity, action, cognitive/ exercise Simple graph showing higher...
When measuring DMN, there is ‘activity’ and ‘connectivity’ to other brain parts. Both of these are altered in ME.

Erinnert mich an die tödlichen Licht Esoterik.

Esoteriker treiben jetzt ihr Unwesen auch in der medizinischen Universität in Wien. Es wäre Interessant zu wissen wer diesen Mist finanziert. #MECFS #LongCovid 1/3 Image
Läuft vermutlich wie bei der @ChariteBerlin. Dort wird ähnliches durch eine pseudowissenschaftliche Stiftungen finanziert die die ehrliche Wissenschaft unterwandert und Patienten betrügt. Charité spielt bei diesen Spiel mit! 2/3

#LongCovid is fundamentally important to the #CostofLivingCrisis in two ways.
1. 1 in 10 infections lead to long term care #LongCovid. If you can’t work you can’t pay the bills. Many have become homeless who have long covid.
2. Long covid is causing high levels of staff …
shortages, which is causing inflation to spiral as employers are forced to raise wages to try to find staff.
This government are playing down the importance of these shortages from long covid. 1 in 10 infections are leading to long covid. This situation will continue to deteriorate until they start to address covid infections. #Denial

Been getting some harsh criticism for homeschooling my son. One of the main reasons we have homeschooled since 2022 is because when he was infected with delta in 2021, the school removed the infected student in his class at 10AM that day and didn’t tell anyone to come get their
kids, nor did they air out the classroom or remove the kids from the class, or do anything to decrease his chances of getting infected. Instead he sat in the classroom where his infected classmate was and breathed in the virus.
After that my trust was completely depleted and I took him out of school when omicron started smashing our province and our leaders started with their “it’s mild” BS.

Wondering about the terms PEM or pacing? Seen #StopRestPace & were curious as to what it referenced? Been in our community a long time & want easy ways to explain these concepts? Perhaps you have seen pacing misused & want to clear that up. We hope this thread helps! #pwME #PwLC A helpful thread on PEM, pa...
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is the cardinal symptom of ME/CFS. PEM is a flare of symptoms and/or the appearance of new symptoms after exertion, often presenting 24 hours after the triggering event. Physical activity, cognitive overexertion, & sensory overload can trigger PEM. What is PEM? Post-exertiona...
Sometimes exertion is misunderstood as exercise. Exertion is defined here as anything that stresses or strains the system. No trigger can be controlled all of the time. The goal of pacing is to MINIMIZE post-exertional malaise rather than eliminate it.

#LongCovid is an heterogeneous disease with multiple manifestations that might range from subclinical to fatal. It can basically affect all organs and body systems. Long Covid was openly recognized by the WHO in August 2020 after intense advocacy from Covid survivors
The first descriptions of #LongCovid came from social media like Twitter. People in early hotspots were often left at home with no medical support in collapsed healthcare systems. They took on social media to raise the alarm about the real nature of Covid

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Rather than being a "short" respiratory disease, dangerous only in the "old and sick", as said in many media and by many policymakers, Covid was a prolonged, multifaceted, multi-system disease that could hit badly even those deemed to be at "low risk"

PEM still not mentioned or discussed
Rest yes but why? PEM
Giving lifestyle advice is not proportionate or equitable & minimises #LongCovid
-good diet & rest need £ & privilege
This exercise advice is plain dangerous 😳
🙏We deserve better
@xandvt ImageImage
🛑This is minimum symptom management requirements
Yet many of us
🚨Don't have the energy to talk to someone
🚨People don't want to listen
🚨Don't have the energy to take a walk everyday
🚨Have sleep disturbance & pathology so can't sleep
Advice that can be given
- being told about PEM
- get people to be checked for POTS, MCAS
- tell people it's a serious pathology often as disabling as a stroke or Parkinson's or late stage cancer
-it would not be acceptable for these conditions to ONLY be given lifestyle advice.

“The only other virus that attacks and kills T-cells is HIV, which causes AIDS, said Katzenback.”

Maybe repeatedly infecting our kids with SARSCoV2 wasn’t such a great idea?

Guess we’ll find out.

“With the loss of these T-cells, we are now more vulnerable to all of these other infections, other viruses, other bacteria,” said Katzenback.

“Individuals who are infected with COVID have many fewer T-cells,” said Katzenback. “That’s a problem for us because T-cells are a really important part of our immune system that helps defend us against infection.”

The moment you start withholding information from the public during a pandemic — such as deliberately suppressing the reality & risk of #LongCovid — Is the moment you open the floodgates for bad actors to spread dangerous misinformation.

At that point — you’ve lost all trust.
So when people are confronted with reality of #LongCovid but realize they are not hearing this information from the public health authorities who swore to inform them —

It creates an incident of exposure, & folks become susceptible to conspiracy narratives about other topics.
If they were lying to us about risk of infection how do we know they are not lying to us about XYZ?

How do I know whether scientific community can be trusted or Joe Rogan off his rocker?

At that point you cannot corroborate “following the science” & current public health policy

A small study but it shows ➡️ a marked increase of bone marrow edema in the phalanges of hands and feet after the beginning of the covid pandemic in the study group, suggesting SARS-CoV-2 infection as a potential trigger

#LongCovid

link.springer.com/article/10.100…
The patients could present with pain and skin erythema, similar to the "covid toes". Analysis of the MRI scans in the study showed similarities to Raynaud's phenomenon. The pandemic increase was thirteenfold (13 times higher than pre-), which was statistically significant
Most cases, but not all, were found in middle-aged (mean 40.3 ± 14,3 years) female patients (80.0%), with no comorbidities. A previous SARS-CoV-2 infection was documented only in some cases (this doesn't exclude an asymptomatic/pauci-symptomatic or undocumented infection)

Dieser Preprint untersucht die Rolle des #Vagus bei #LongCovid und "using objective measurements, this study contributes to underscore the organicity of [LC]".

Untersucht wurde der Vagus per Nervensonographie und mittels Funktionstests.

1/4

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Dass die Querschnittsfläche bei LC größer war als bei Kontrollen ist in Diskrepanz zu einer Studie, wo dies genau umgekehrt war.

Da die Werte aber prinzpiell im Normbereich liegen, ist das kein Biomarker. Im Einzelfall war der Vagus verdickt.

Veränderungen des Vagus gibt es auch bei anderen Erkrankungen mit Dysautonomie, zB

I've concerns about the way Tony Fauci frames our fight with Covid | a bit of a long thread. First, there is a big difference between pursuing eradication, and surrender to the virus through "living with/mass infection" policies. Which is what we, actually, have now
Second, I'm not saying that SARS-CoV-2 can be eradicated in the current sociopolitical context. But, the virus has been eliminated multiple times in multiple countries, or came close to. This pointed to elimination or hard containment being possible
The decision not to pursue eradication (global elimination) or (local) elimination has been dictated, in my opinion, more by socio-economic than public health concerns. I'm not saying eradication was necessarily possible.
