When I started watching this⬇️ interview with the neurosurgeon, I was thinking "Did the doctor get creeped out - nah, you have to have nerves of steel to be a neurosurgeon."

She got creeped out.

"the ultrasound was activating the TRPM2 ion channel in neurons of the hypothalamus preoptic area, demonstrating this is an ultrasound-sensitive ion channel that plays a role in sending animals into

Nuclear lamina erosion-induced resurrection of endogenous retroviruses underlies neuronal aging

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112593

"we verified the loss of B-type lamins inducing resurrection of ERVs as an initiating event of the aging-bound cascade in post-mitotic neurons. Of significance, these aging-related cellular and molecular changes can be alleviated by abacavir"

"...topological properties have been little studied in the context of aging. Interestingly, the topological changes became pathological earlier than the morphological change"

In the plasma, [albumin] functions as a carrier, chaperon, antioxidant, source of amino acids, osmoregulator, etc. ... it [transports] ... free fatty acids, steroid hormones, medicines, & metal ions. As a chaperon, SA binds to & protects other proteins.
... thanks to a free sulfhydryl group, albumin is responsible for most antioxidant properties of plasma.

#anosmia is awful in general, but it’s also a sign that it’s causing brain dysfunction & these Fall/Winter #2022 #omicron #variants have been specifically seen to go for the #brain. Worst sounding fashion collection ever; automne/hiver 2022🙄

Just like nerve endings, #smell is an important sense to not lose

I’ve seen mostly surgical masks there.. this will be VERY BAD

@jonaskunst

very interesting finding re: negative association of neurocognitive symptoms in Long Covid w/ CMV.

also, from article: "CMV seropositivity in younger adults is actually associated with heightened adaptive immune responses to influenza vaccination ..., despite earlier studies in the aging literature linking CMV to immunosenescence phenotypes"

#riddleMeThis then why is the #SEC Securities & Exchange Commission, the government regulatory agency overseeing the #corporate sector, the capital market participants, & the securities & #investment instruments market, & the protection of the investing public aka #GoldmanSachs #LLC & beyond

they are allowing their employees permanent #WFH status b/c they know they can’t afford #brain loss #lawyers

Yet the #bankers .. & I’m def not a fan, but it all #trickles down #attitude

Great article.

sorry to be “that person” but just linking this to comments really just for myself so I can read it off twitter
Learned about replacing nitter.it with twitter.com from @trendless

This is such an important paper though as it’s showing how dangerous Omicron is…especially to the #brain #OmicronIsNotMild #avoidReinfection #rapidAging #telomereShortening #senescence #dumpMuskForTheTusk

"Recent studies report that as many as 25% of those infected with Covid-19 may experience long-term brain damage. These observations raise troubling issues for the medical system and society which we must begin to understand and plan for."
