Looks like very good separation between acute/long COVID and the other groups: Would be nice to see healthy controls included in the future.

AI generated summary of Tim Henrich's talk that Amy linked to: Introduction The speaker is continuing a discussion on molecular imaging and digital spatial profiling in long COVID The talk aims to highlight the promise of immunotherapy clinical trials This presentation is part of the larger...

Looks like there's a thread about that drug.

I can't access the actual paper, but the figures are available to view in a PDF linked on the page above. Figure S4. Differences in [18F]F-AraG SUVmean uptake in certain tissues were observed when grouped by time from initial COVID-19 symptom onset to PET imaging and by Long COVID symptoms...

Merged thread Now published Tissue-based T cell activation and viral RNA persist for up to 2 years after SARS-CoV-2 infection Authors (formatted by AI): Editor’s summary The term “Long Covid” covers a diverse array of symptoms that an individual might experience weeks to years after...

Ah ok, my mistake, thanks.

I would add the search for a viral reservoir. Labs like PolyBio have lots of ideas for studies, and more money would surely speed trials along, for example with the expensive equipment necessary for specialized scans.

Isn't there an issue of scientists avoiding even entering the field because of lack of research funds? Where they don't want to devote their life to something where every grant will be rejected?

Uh oh. I've also been significantly more worried after his almost nonsensical GWI post.

Lots of people are commenting on the episode's Youtube and Apple Podcasts pages, asking them to also cover ME/CFS:

Another option could be people paralyzed from the neck down from spinal...

And please also compare to very deconditioned or other unhealthy people so we know whether or not the biomarkers are found in all deconditioned or unhealthy people. In that linked thread, we brainstormed some potential deconditioned control groups, such as bedbound hospital patients or people...

That's wild. It sounds like they're just saying choose whichever option returns the largest desired effect. Do they go on to explain how to decide whether or not to include single responders?

Thread about another recent Alzheimer's falsified data story: Researchers plan to retract landmark Alzheimer’s paper containing doctored images

Lots of research into outbreaks over the past week. Top pages:

I'll paste what I previously said on the forum: I'll say that it's very hard to notice that you're doing an activity because you've already improved a small bit, and not the other way around, and I can see why someone would be absolutely sure it healed them if they stay well afterwards and...
