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.

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

Verdickung bei Guillain Barré Syndrom ➡️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mu…

Atrophie bei Parkinson ➡️ academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Someone DM'd me about POTS and long-Covid and asked if a ketogenic diet could help. So let's do a quick little thread. 🧵1/7
I wrote an article about how #Keto can help with neuro #Covid symptoms, but it is mostly focused on cognitive and mood symptoms, not POTS. Here it is if anyone is interested. 2/7

That said, the mechanisms can be similar. For example, #neuroinflammation (which keto is great for) impairs the function of the #Vagus nerve, which is implicated in POTS symptoms. 3/7

#2 B-COMPLEX/MULTI VITAMIN. Buy a liposomal or other form that increases bio-availability. Take 1 capsule w/Breakfast and Lunch. If you have stomach upset, try sublingual (under tongue) EZ Melt B-Complex in AM & Multi w/iron for Dinner. amazon.com/Liposomal-Meth…
#3 OMEGA 3s. Fish Oil, Krill Oil, Algae Oil are all good sources of Omega 3. Be careful the EPA/DHA ratio. EPA helps with inflammation/DHA helps with cognition. You need both! Opt for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of DHA to EPA (2:1 ratio eg. 800 DHA/400EPA) amazon.com/3Care-Concentr…

Sind wearabels (smartwatch, fitnesstracker) bei #longcovid sinnvoll?
Dickes JA!
Sie sind ein einfaches Mittel, um Pacing zu verstehen und umzusetzen.
Nicht nur für die Datenspende-App des #RKI
Die kosten nicht mehr die Welt (in ausreichender Qualität < 100€)
Parameter:
-Schlaf (Dauer, Qualität)
-Herzfrequenz … nachts, Ruhe, Belastung, Erholung
-Herzfrequenzvariabilität als Parameter für die #Dysautonomia

diese Werte sind gut geeignet,um in Kombination mit körperlichen Beschwerden Überlastung frühzeitig aufzuspüren/zu vermeiden
Grundlage:
Die sauerstoffabhängige (aerobe) Energiegewinnung, die wir für Dauerleistungen benötigen, läuft sehr reduziert ab. Schon bei kleineren Belastungen ist ihre Kapazität erschöpft. Also der Motor läuft nur auf einem Zylinder.

Important 👉 This team is investigating bacterial quorum sensing peptides (QSPs) as metabolites that can contribute to #microbiome-driven disease processes👆They identified QSPs that selectively influence functionality of several types of neuronal #brain cells including microglia
Their abstract concludes that 👉 "Combined with our in-vivo studies indicating that these QSP are permeating the #intestinal wall, as well as the blood-brain barrier, our findings may open up a new field of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for #neurological disorders."
Rob Moir describes a similar phenomenon in this interview, stating 👉 "#Vagus Nerve traffic may include #bacterial signaling molecules called quorum sensing molecules. In this sense microbes in the gut and microbes in the brain may be “talking...": microbeminded.com/2017/12/18/int…

No need for skepticism of #microbiome + virome involvement in #ME/CFS 👉 But we must factor in the activity of organisms (bacteria, viruses, phages, fungi etc) that often persist + interact outside the gut☝️And many such organisms are not “good” but are pathogens/#pathobionts
In fact, Komaroff asked if anyone has a model for #ME/CFS that links together many findings recently presented at #MECFSatNIH19 👉 Well, that’s what my recent paper on ME/CFS does!...w/ #microbiome + virome activity central to how separate findings connect:frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
That is b/c 👉 Humans are now understood to be #holobionts: our activity is controlled by the human genome, our microbial/#viral genomes and their respective proteins + metabolites working in tandem (together!): nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Researchers studying neuroinflammation + patients who’s chronic conditions started w/ a viral #infection need to read this 👉 It clarifies how viruses able to persist in the #brain (including strains of influenza) can drive a range of debilitating symptoms:the-scientist.com/features/can-t…
Some highlights regarding viral persistence 👉 “Here, you’re talking about decades. The #virus goes in and then maybe decades later it can cause some potentially serious neurodegeneration -Anthony van den Pol, Yale University Image
And this 👉 “So these were two different [flu #viruses], two different mechanisms, but the same effect in a sense...They were inducing #inflammation and death in the parts of the brain that we see degenerate in #Parkinson’s disease.” - Richard Smeyne (Thomas Jefferson U) Image
