Highlights
POTS causes cardiovascular instability and severe symptoms.
Postural hyperventilation is thought to cause POTS, but the mechanisms are unclear.
Reduced stroke volume and brain perfusion drive postural hyperventilation in POTS.
Stroke volume and brain perfusion should be targeted as...
I did a power walk 5 week post Covid infection after I felt recovered and woke up the next morning unable to stand or walk for 3.5 weeks. No negative effect on my cognitive functions. It was not delayed PEM as I experience with M.E.

If cells are less deformable, it reduces the ability to supply oxygen to tissues in the body. It doesn't effectively allow cells to perform their function to oxygenate tissues, cells needs to undergo significant deformation and be able to elastically recover to their original shapes.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by central (cardiac) and peripheral vascular dysfunctions, significantly diminishing exercise capacity and quality of life. While central cardiopulmonary abnormalities in SCD are known to reduce exercise capacity and quality of life; the impact...
I have this too. I live in a high-rise and I pray the fire alarm doesn't go off when I'm feeling this way. The elevators shut off and I would have to take the stairs. Then I have periods when I can go power walking 2-3x/week. Who knows.
My bloodwork didn't show low levels of taurine, but my magnesium stores was deficient. I had parkinsonism symptoms, it was just awful. I had this constant rocking sensation in my head. The injections improved my gait and energy(good energy not hyper energy) but it didn't last.

@bobbler I don't think taurine is the bad culprit in energy drinks. Taurine shows health benefits for the cardiovascular system and calms the nervous system.
It also helps increases the absorption of magnesium into the cells
I took mg sulfate injections for a couple of months but that...
I took taurine and magnesium IM injections off and on for 2 yrs and it might have saved my life. The combination of the 2 puts your brain in such a peaceful mode. I loved it. My doctor who prescribed them retired 12 yrs ago. I wish I had a doctor who could prescribe me this again.
A clinical trial will provide much-needed evidence to help patient?

Abstract
Autism is traditionally diagnosed behaviorally but has a strong genetic basis. A genetics-first approach could transform understanding and treatment of autism. However, isolating the gene-brain-behavior relationship from confounding sources of variability is a challenge.

Abstract
The human heart is very adaptable, with chamber size, wall thickness and ventricular stiffness all modified by periods of inactivity or exercise training. Herein, we summarize the cardiac adaptations induced by changes in physical activity, ranging from bed rest and spaceflight to...
