#COVID19 Induces #Neuroinflammation & Suppresses Peroxisomes in the Brain
“The present studies point to a role of persistent neuroinflammation, especially inflammasome activation, and peroxisome biogenesis factor suppression as contributing determinants of the neurological sequelae of #COVID-19”

Structural & functional impairments of skeletal muscle in patients with post-acute sequelae of #SARSCoV2 infection
“In our cohort of patients with #PASC, we showed limited exercise tolerance mainly due to ‘peripheral’ determinants. Substantial reductions were observed for biomarkers of mitochondrial function, content, & biogenesis”

“Fecal transplantation from #PostCovid subjects to germ-free mice led to lung inflammation & worse outcomes during pulmonary infection by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. transplanted mice also exhibited poor cognitive performance. Overall, we show prolonged impacts of #SARSCoV2 infection on the gut microbiota that persist after subjects have cleared the virus”

Gut microbiota from patients with #COVID19 cause alterations in mice that resemble post-#COVID symptoms
“we report the gut microbiota of #postCOVID subjects had a remarkable predominance of Enterobacteriaceae strains with an antibiotic-resistant phenotype compared to healthy controls. Additionally, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were reduced in feces”

#SARSCoV2 reservoir in post-acute sequelae of #COVID19 (#PASC). Review by 33 authors
“we explore evidence for SARS-CoV-2 reservoir in PASC & provide context on interpretation of the findings. We delineate mechanisms by which a SARS-CoV-2 reservoir may contribute to PASC pathology & identify central research priorities & methods to guide the continued study of SARSCoV2 persistence in PASC”

New research hints at a connection between post-acute sequelae of #COVID19 & an antibody response biased against the endemic #coronavirus OC43 in rheumatic disease
“Rather than identifying an autoimmune marker of PASC, these results from 2 independent cohorts point to immunological imprinting by human endemic coronaviruses in patients with SARDs & #PASC may result in the generation of incomplete #SARSCoV2 immunity, control, & clearance”

Many more UK people with ME/CFS are needed for this large genetic study. All severity levels can take part as participation is from home
Questionnaires can be filled in on paper or online, and saliva samples for DNA extraction are sent by post. The target is 25000 DNA samples, incl. 5000 diagnosed with ME/ #CFS following #Covid19 infection

Please help me find a #GP or any #doctor willing to prescribe #fentanyl patches (or dose equivalent) within 13 days in #Melbourne #Australia
Refused meds by GP who promised to prescribe until I found a new GP (he dropped me bc my case is too complex). Changed his mind! Now have 13 days to find any doctor to write a script or #withdrawal agony & no #pain control.
Time running out fast!😫
#Boosts appreciated!

Medscape have updated their free CDC-funded CPD course on #MECFS
I never looked in detail at the previous course but this looks quite similar
It can be accessed with free registration.
