Maraviroc, ein zugelassenes HIV Medikament, setzt bei den CD16+ Monozyten an, die sowohl CCR5 /RANTES als auch Fraktalkinrezeptoren (CX3CR1) exprimieren, und fähig sind die Blut-Hirn-Schranke zu passieren (ZNS-gängig sind).
Maraviroc, a potential HIV therapeutic, affects CD16+ monocytes, which express both CCR5 and fractalkine receptors (CX3CR1). This kind of cells can pass the blood-brain-barrier and therefore can affect the Central Nervous System.

There is a greater amount of #Microclots
and a greater improvement is obtained when giving treatment with
Antiplatelet

it is a low cost blood test:$18-40
It can be performed in most Hospitals in the world
The results can be given in a few hours
In Australia can be ordered by any GP under Medicare
And why is it still not used in North America/Europe?

sequencing of the virus genome showed that infection
was caused by the Alpha variant

Very often PCR of nasal and pharyngeal secretions
they give False Negatives in #LongCOVID #PACS
The problem is that most assume that a Negative PCR of the nose or pharynx
Indicates that there is no virus in the heart, intestines and other parts of the body

VIRAL PERSISTENCE
IT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF MYOCARDITIS IN #LONGCOVID
In 85.7%(12/14) of Endomyocardial Biopsies
persistence of up to 18 months of SARS CoV2 was detected
It was identified in Cardiomyocytes,Endothelium,Macrophages
Also Anticardiac Antibodies

None of the 14 cases had severe respiratory failure or evidence of cardiac injury during Acute COVID
In all of them Myocarditis only manifested itself after the acute phase of COVID
In #LongCOVID #PACS
This was diagnosed 2 to 18 months later

Authors point out:
This suggests a triggering (resolving) role of the vaccine

PAXLOVID versus TRUVADA
FOR CHRONIC COVID #LONGCOVID #PACS
For costs and side effects
and as months of treatment are required
Win Truvada
containing
Emtricitabine FTC+
Tenofovir Disoproxil FumarateTDF
One could start with Paxlovid and continue with Truvada

PROTOCOLS FOR CHRONIC COVID #LONGCOVID
I. INTENSIVE PHASE AGAINST VIRAL LOAD
It includes:
1.FTC/TDF (Truvada). The alternative is to start Paxlovid for 10-25 days and then continue with FTC/TDF
2. IVM or Liposomal Artemisinin or Artesunate
3. ECGC or Nitazoxanide or Ozone 10pass

The objective of the INTENSIVE PHASE in CHRONIC COVID #LONGCOVID
is to minimize the Viral Load
Lasts 1-2months
Then follows the Maintenance Phase
whose objective is to avoid the Relapse/Reactivation of the infection
The number of drugs is reduced
Lasts 3 to 8months

It had already been identified that the Biofilm or Dental Plaque harbors SARS CoV-2
To this is added the Tonsils and Adenoids in children
Therefore, it is confirmed that the oral cavity is a potential reservoir for the virus
There are Asymptomatic Carriers

For Viral Persistence,
for having Drug-Resistance
we indicate 3 or more medications or supplements with effects against Viral Load
In addition
any infectious focus at the oral level must be eliminated by the Dentist
and mouthwash is indicated

¿La vacuna no sirve?
Reduce la probabilidad de tener PACS, pero si te dá, no reduce sus efectos.
¿Eso me afecta?
Afecta a todos. Luego de tener COVID, ya sea leve, asintomático o grave, parte de los contagiados desarrollarán PACS. Esto afecta a todos los órganos.

¿Después de que ya se me pasó?
Si. Despues. Restos del virus pueden permanecer meses en el cuerpo causando daño en todos los órganos, más notoriamente en el cerebro.
¿Como qué?
Puede ser tan leve como pérdida de concentración o tan grave como gatillar parkinson's

A very poignant and timely question from Alan Cantwell Jr, MD.
"Is the point to cure the disease—or to keep the research in the hands of a few men who can command huge amounts of Congressional funding?"

"Is the point to cure the disease—or to keep the research in the hands of a few men who can command huge amounts of Congressional funding?"
#LongCovid #PACS
"..in order to assure research dollars, scientists have to keep a proper face on their efforts. They can't admit weakness, uncertainty. They have to forge ahead with their virus and their plans for a vaccine, a magic bullet that will wipe the problem off the face of the earth."
"Ask ten scientists about the chances of AIDS originating by accident in a lab. ..and ten will scoff at you. 'Why, how perfectly crude of you to suggest such a thing. How absurd. Only an uneducated non-Ph.D. without a credential to his name would suggest such tripe.'"

@pfizer @POTUS @TheDemocrats @VP @CNN @CBSNews @NBCNews @WKRN @WSMV @NC5 I have had the amazing opportunity to sit on Vanderbilt's HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Community Advisory board since 2015 and want to shine a bright light on how therapeutics with SARS-Cov-2 should have been managed in the same way as HIV.
@pfizer @POTUS @TheDemocrats @VP @CNN @CBSNews @NBCNews @WKRN @WSMV @NC5 During the early years of the HIV/AIDS crisis, many were without any options. Then, AZT and other handfuls of medications were made available. Those who took it were literally guinea pigs. While supposition, I imagine escaping hospitalization and death were the metrics used.

@MerkajSara @Ryan_Bahar are an outstanding team that wrote this exciting review on application of #ML to the study of #glioma imaging. After reviewing over 12,000 articles and extracting information from over 80 articles they published their systematic review in @FrontOncology.
But, there was so much more that needed to be discussed, so @MerkajSara & @Ryan_Bahar wrote an expert review of literature with focus on future directions. @YaleMed #Neurosurgery This review is a must read when starting out in #ML & #glioma imaging #Radiomics overview
