Abstract Patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) present with a decrease in physical fitness. The aim of this paper is to reveal the relations between the remaining symptoms, blood volume distribution, exercise tolerance, static and dynamic lung volumes, and overall functioning...

Abstract Purpose Whether evaluating patients clinically, documenting care in the electronic health record, performing research, or communicating with administrative agencies, the use of a common set of terms and definitions is vital to ensure appropriate use of language. At a 2017 meeting of the...

This special issue of Clinical Autonomic Research focuses on five rare to ultra-rare respiratory and autonomic disorders of infancy, childhood, and adulthood (RADICA), including Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) [2], Familial Dysautonomia (FD) [3], Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS)...

Abstract Background Many patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are hypovolemic with plasma volume deficits of 10–30 %. Some also have low levels of aldosterone and diminished aldosterone-renin ratios despite elevations in angiotensin II, pointing to potential adrenal...

@RedFox I've known one person in real life who took psilocybin under supervised care and it was life changing for his PTSD and anxiety.

Almost $3M for clinical trials for psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. With 1 in 5 Canadians experiencing mental health or or substance issues each year, we must explore new and innovative ways to help people...

Abstract Purpose Orthostatic intolerance commonly occurs following immobilization or space flight. We hypothesized that daily artificial gravity training through short-arm centrifugation could help to maintain orthostatic tolerance following head-down tilt bedrest, which is an established...

Merged Genetic Variant Linked to Faster Progression of Multiple Sclerosis Found Source: Yale A study of more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has for the first time identified a genetic variant associated with faster progression of the disease, an accumulation of disability...

Highlights – The AIDP neurophysiological pattern was the most frequent in patients with COVID-19. – SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with increased disability at hospital discharge. – The cases of GBS and COVID-19 had a higher level of proteins in CSF. – The AIDP neurophysiological...

I remember many years ago when my aunt had some sort of tachycardia episode in the restaurant, she had to lie down on the cushions, it was quite scary. She had terrible meno symptoms throughout her 60s, 70s plus, and when she switched to the patch from the pill she no longer had side effects.

Highlights COVID-19 patients have increased incidence of Epstein-Barr Virus reactivation. Detection of EBV DNA is greater among COVID-19 positive patients (27.1% vs 12.5%). No statistical difference in CRP levels of COVID-19 positive vs. negative patients. No statistical difference in...

Findings shed light on link between hormone replacement therapy and high blood pressure. Dr. Sofia Ahmed led a study showing administration route of estrogen-based menopausal hormone therapy matters. Pill form increases the risk of hypertension, while alternatives like skin patches offer lower...

“I got every shot they would give me, quickly took Plaxlovid and ended up with LC anyway. People do recover, but 85% of patients who have symptoms 2 months after COVID are still symptomatic after a year.” https://hellgatenyc.com/nyc-has-left-people-with-long-covid-behind

To summarise and answer the main question posed in our review, many studies have been performed in patients with HSV and VZV encephalitis. HSV, more than VZV encephalitis, is associated with high mortality and long-term sequelae despite available therapy, and complete remission – at least for up...

Abstract Introduction: Fatigue is the most common and disabling symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS), being reported by 55% to 78% of patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Etiology of MS-related fatigue remains poorly understood but an increased neuromuscular fatigability (i.e., greater loss of...

Thank you @CRG The link is from 2020. I think it was Dr. Iwasaki who described the manifestation of LC may have different pathologies in different pts. So identifying subsets is important. It appears so far that acute Covid reactivates latent viruses that fails to shut off...

They could also include research on preventing M.E, MS or LC? Did taking Plaxlovid within 5 days of infection prevent LC? I feel it's important to include prevention in these studies. Why most doctors don't prescribe antivirals early on and tell pts that it will eventually resolve itself...
