''The #foxes displayed neurologic signs, and examination of #brain and #lung tissue revealed lesions, with brain lesions ranging from moderate to severe #meningoencephalitis. Analysis of tissue tropism using RT-PCR methods showed a comparatively lower Ct value in the brain, confirmed by in situ hybridization targeting Influenza A RNA''

“Results have been promising. #AOH1996 can suppress tumor growth as a monotherapy or combination treatment in cell and animal models without resulting in toxicity.
AOH1996 has been effective in preclinical research treating cells derived from #breast, #prostate, #brain, #ovarian, #cervical, #skin and #lung #cancers”

Increased lung cancer risk post-TB - tho smoking (& COPD) clearly bigger contributors.
How this may be the case is an interesting question. Additive effect of chronic inflammation? Some other confounding environmental exposure? 🤷♂️

''After infection of #mice with #H11N9 virus at 103 EID50 dose, the virus was able to replicate in #lung without prior #adaptation, though the replication of the virus was limited. And virus was also detected in other organs including nasal #turbinate, #brain, and #colon. This was the first detection of H11N9 virus in nervous and digestive system of mice''

"We saw this same pattern across all human #COVID lung samples," Wernig said. As with other #lung infections, the initial #COVID19 infection in the lungs kicked off an #inflammatory process. In the case of #LongCovid patients, however, the #immune dysfunction keeps going long after the virus is gone -- similar to what happens in chronic #PulmonaryFibrosis.”

A nagging cough can hang on for weeks or months following a respiratory illness – and there is precious little you can do about it.
But while a relentless cough after a viral infection can be frustrating and worrisome, but in most cases, coughs resolve over time.
Lung cancer cells and neurons form a dangerous alliance!
A collaborative study from the Bergami lab, Hans Christian Reinhardt, the Motori lab and Beleggia lab shows bona fide synapses between small cell lung cancer and neurons. #preprint
