Argenx cree que podrĂa tener 'uno de los productos biolĂłgicos mĂĄs grandes' de la historia

El medicamento, conocido como Vyvgart, trata la miastenia grave generalizada, una enfermedad autoinmune que causa debilidad en los mĂșsculos esquelĂ©ticos.
Pero la portavoz de la compañĂa, Beth DelGiacco, dice que eso es solo el comienzo para Vyvgart. Vyvgart trata lo que Argenx cree que es la causa subyacente de mĂĄs de 100 enfermedades autoinmunes.
GPCR Autoantibodies circulating the blood triggering neuroinflammation of the autonomic nervous system and small fiber nerves that control the bodyâs functions for daily living. Breaching Blood Brain Barrier and Gut Barriers to induce more neuroinflammation and dysfunction.
These same autoantibodies triggering microclots to form in some people. The autonomic dysfunction altered the baroreceptor reflex and now the body compensates by either altering blood pressure or heart rate in order to get blood back to the heart.
The dysfunction leads to narrowing of the small vessels and altered red blood cell shape which causes hypoxic conditions in tissues and without proper oxygen perfusion the body cannot maintain proper aerobic metabolism to make a majority of the bodyâs energy (ATP).

So Endothelial dysfunction is the culprit for reduced oxygen perfusion to the tissues which in turn leads to dysfunctional aerobic metabolism and fatigue.
The Blood Brain Barrier consists of these Endothelial Cells and has been found breached in Covid Long haulers.
What regulates the functions of the endothelium? Partly the GPCR receptors of course. Specifically the Sympathetic nervous system which is part of the ANS. Our small vessels are now narrowed due to the endothelium dysfunction. news-medical.net/whitepaper/201âŠ

I'm so tired of being told : you need to change doctors, find someone who will listen to me etc. Do you know know what it's like in reality ?
First of all. There's no one available. They don't take new patients. Appointments are in months or years. Second money. Third if you

have severe mecfs or very severe you can't go and just find a new doctor. 4. i did that for years. No one listened. No one. Or if one did they had no Idea what to do or put me in danger or sent me to other doctors who treated me like not a human. 5. Each travel to another apptmt

#TeamClots
We start by discussing the highly thrombotic nature of acute COVID & how this pathology doesnt cease in those with long COVID. in other words, long COVID is a continuation of the pathology accompanying acute COVID. Importantly, we cant rehabilitate until the pathology is treated
we highlight the role of microclots in capillary occlusion, that coagulopathic outcomes occur after acute covid (e.g. â stroke risk), that there is platelet hyperactivation and endotheliitis, and all this leads to impaired oxygen extraction (and more)

What I mean is that they saw me before. They saw me sick. They saw me moderate, mild, severe. They heard and witness the dozens of symptoms accumulating for years. They saw it. I didn't know what was happening to me. I checked SO MANY OF the mecfs symptoms for YEARS.

doctors even diagnose me orthostatomic hypotension, orthostatic intolerance, then pots. the raynauds, like a lot of these conditions. But they did nothing about it. "It will disappear" Guess what ? It got worse. i even had a test for an illness that causes red blood cells to not
be able to transport the oxygen through the body. like they all saw that something was wrong but it was "nothing"
Of course they kept blaming the fact that I was sick and getting worse on me. "I wasn't doing enough" while I was overworking and probably in crashes all the time.

My doctor dismissed me, my wordsw my symptoms, for 10 years (20 if you take the rest) then didn't see me for a few years.
Fast forward i'm very severe ME almost dying. He came because i've been almost dying for months. After YEARS.
He did ask me why he hadn't see me these past

Well I became housebound then completely bedridden, bedbound, because they didn't listen to me.
This was such an insult.
When I gave him (again) the list of symptoms I've been having and complaining about for 10 years, the reply was so insulting.

She details that prior to the pandemic the average age of referrals to her cardiology clinic was aged 55-80yrs.
Now it is 16-40yrs
Now at least 50% are long Covid with cardiovascular symptoms.

âOne of the big issues with #LongCovid⊠is that the people who are the most motivated to do something about it have the least amount of energy and ability to cause a scene,â @LisaAMcCorkell said calmatters.org/health/coronavâŠ
â..countless stories of #LongCovid Californians. Recent CDC surveys suggest 5.5% of California adults â roughly 1.5 million people â currently experience the.. debilitating collection of symptoms that make up long COVID. A majority of them, 82%, have limits on their activity.â
âWhile most of society rushes eagerly back to pre-pandemic life, these patients, known as âlong haulers,â have been largely left behind by their communities, doctors and policymakers.â
âA growing trove of research shows that PEM has physiological underpinnings⊠When ME/CFS patients & those with #LongCovid exercise, David Systrom discovered their veins were not moving blood to the heart efficiently, or âpriming the pump.âânationalgeographic.com/premium/articlâŠ
âHe also found problems with oxygen exchange by the exercising muscle. Through skin biopsies, he sees nerve damage in most patients he tests. âItâs not what weâd expect in pure deconditioning,â Systrom says.â #LongCovid
âSystromâs work points to a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like breathing & circulation.. & moves blood and oxygen through the body during and after exerciseâŠThis all impairs the bodyâs ability to recover.â #LongCovid

Interesting European study that confirms the US findings: #POTS is the most common autonomic disorder, both after #COVID19 and #covidvaccines. It's important to remember that in the past, the European Medical Agencies rejected the idea that #POTS can follow #HPV vaccination. 1/n
But #Covid #pandemic showed us that jumping to conclusions prematurely and denying reality observed in various countries - which is that #POTS can be triggered by HPV vaccines - serves no purpose in scientific process or #PatientCare. 2/n
