A 🧵 on vascular diseases caused by viruses - because CoVid attacks the vascular system throughout the body.
And "late effects" of viruses can happen years later.
Like with polio, 15 to 40 years later.

And pinning down late effects can
be very difficult. By the time, the late effects kick in, a middle-aged person will have been exposed to hundreds of viruses.
The purpose of this thread is:
✅ I'm curious about the topic.
⚠️ Urge caution as we still don't know much about CoVid.

Chickenpox (aka varicella) accounts for 7 to 31% of arterial ischemic stroke in kids.
In transient cerebral arteriopathy of childhood, stroke is preceded by varicella in 44% of cases.

In transient cerebral arteriopathy of childhood, stroke is preceded by varicella in 44% of cases.
In immunocompromised adults, VZV infection of the central nervous system (CNS) was detected in
1.5 to 4.4% of autopsy cases.
Brain imaging of patients with VZV vasculopathy reveals ischemic or hemorrhagic infarction.

"Recent data suggests that the risk of atherosclerosis conveyed by infection relates to the number of atherogenic pathogens with which an individual is infected. "

![Accounting for the differences between indoor and outdoor air ozone concentrations, Weschler [6] has estimated that indoor exposures to ozone are typically 45% to 75% of total exposures. Because breathing rates are lower when people are indoors, the indoor inhalation intake of ozone is typically 25% to 60% of total ozone intake. These estimates may be low for the population most affected by ozone—infants, the elderly, and those with respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Consequently, if there is no threshold concentration for the health effects of ozone, or if the threshold is low, roughl...](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GfeJAF0WEAAQKXV.jpg)
![We refer to this room as “Room A.” Room A has no window, and is connected via a door to a large, open plan lounge area in the office suite. This Lounge space was used for baseline measurements. The door between Room A and the Lounge was closed during experiments. The air exchange rate in Room A was measured using the CO2 tracer method [33] with portable CO2 sensors (Aranet4) to be 1.3 h-1 (Supplementary Information). Room A and the lounge are carpeted. Room A is equipped with a conference table, a small wooden desk, and chairs. It also has room lighting and a wall-mounted computer monitor. ...](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GfU28gMXkAAbYMd.jpg)
![The far-UVC average fluence used for the lower-intensity (single lamp) experiments in this study was 0.2 μW cm-2. According to the manufacturer, one lamp is recommended for disinfection of a room the size of Room A. The modelled average fluence and irradiance values are consistent with conditions observed by Eadie et al. in a chamber study to reduce airborne pathogens (S. aureus) by 92% or more [16]. Under these conditions, we did not measure significant changes in ozone level or particulate matter in Room A, despite the relatively low ventilation conditions in the room](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GfU7WpnXgAEJrmT.jpg)
