Another unreplicatable Pretorius study w/dubious claims.
Microclots & elevated NETs do not distinguish Long Covid from any other inflammatory condition (cancers, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, *etc, have them).
Pretorius & Co suggesting that these are a Long Covid biomarker/diagnostic is 😒.

Scientists have identified a potential new drug against COVID.
Compound 6 caused SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins to misfold, malfunction, and ultimately, be destroyed and removed by cells, in lab tests.
This work could benefit other viral diseases, too.

What would one of these events be without them patting each other on the back and the most important thing of all: career building.

Post-Covid Autoimmune Encephalitis (AE)
• AE more severe > Covid vs no Covid (CASE score: 8 vs 5)
• 17% more pneumonia & 14% increase in other autoimmune diseases
• AE relapse > Covid = more autoimmune diseases, tumors, abnormal cranial MRIs, and higher disability levels
• AE more severe > Covid vs no Covid (CASE score: 8 vs 5)
• 17% more pneumonia & 14% increase in other autoimmune diseases

SARS-CoV-2 induces Alzheimer’s–related amyloid-𝛃 pathology in ex vivo human retinal explants & retinal organoids
Very small study found:
· Postmortem retinal tissue showed increased amyloid-β plaques compared to controls
· Some amyloid-β plaques contained Spike protein

"How Pandemics Reshape Our Brain" a shameless MECFS FUNDRAISER posing as research. By Mary E. Herman.
🚩 Uses Long Covid to dishonestly inflate ME numbers
🚩 Takes LC research & misapplies it retroactively to ME
🚩 Reduces pwLC to a validation tool for predatory MECFS agendas

Another shit Long Covid study 😩
· 46% had pre-existing conditions before LC
· 20% had pre-existing mental and behavioral disorders
· 36% were on cognitive-affecting medications: benzos, antidepressants, neuroleptics, anxiolytics, soporific, etc.
The researchers admit...

Study finds that ppl w/Long Covid have different neurochemistry than ppl w/MECFS
Authors posit that studies should not mix pwLC & pwME in cohorts, but they may have
Findings suggest the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of Long Covid & MECFS are different

The findings suggest that the adult human brain retains more regenerative capacity than previously thought, potentially informing future treatments for neurological conditions.

The study mapped the entire progression from neural stem cells → intermediate progenitor cells → neuroblasts → mature granule neurons, showing this process occurs similarly to what's seen in mice and other mammals.

Groundbreaking research provides definitive evidence that humans can grow new brain cells up to age 78.
Using advanced single-nucleus RNA sequencing and machine learning algorithms, researchers identified proliferating neural progenitor cells in the hippocampus.
