Posting this here for those who aren't on X. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I thought I would keep it in one place. I am extremely honored to be part of this patient-led initiative for a worldwide congress on Long COVID, #UniteToFight2024/ @U2Fight_World Registration is...

The study was motivated by concerns about the potential harms of restricting or stopping exercise altogether. “We are not saying that the exercise can treat post-COVID,” Tryfonos said. “But we know that not only in post-COVID, in any other disease, if you stop doing exercise in the long run...

Novavax Prepared to Deliver Protein-based Non-mRNA JN.1 COVID-19 Vaccine in Line with WHO Recommendation this Fall LINK

Thank you #UniteToFight2024 for including me in your speaker list. I am hoping to show you how ME/CFS differs from long COVID and how we can predict the severity of long COVID very early. Hopefully it will help us in developing better treatment strategies.

Bonnie Discepolo participated in an clinical trial examining possibly delaying menopause to improve health outcomes. She hopes it gives women more agency. Williams is leading a study to understand the impact of slowing ovarian age on women’s health. The double-blind study looks at 100 women...

April 23, 2024 Will continuous lactate monitoring revolutionize the way we train, or is just another costly sports-science fad? "The important thing to remember is that the lactate is not the cause of your fatigue. It is simply a metabolic marker telling you that you’re working hard...

Abstract Post-exercise reduction in blood pressure, termed post-exercise hypotension (PEH), is relevant for both acute and chronic health reasons and potentially for peripheral cardiovascular adaptations. We investigated the interactive effects of exercise intensity and recovery postures...

I don't think they use this term in Canada. I've never heard of it until I joined the forum.

Stigmatizing language (SL) is widespread throughout medical documentation.1 It is more likely to be found in the records of Black patients,2,3 patients with public insurance,2 and patients with certain comorbidities.3 We investigated associations between SL, errors in the diagnostic process, and...

Always appreciate your insights and knowledge @Jonathan Edwards

Blood Biomarker Reveals Signs of MS Years Before LINK

Abstract Although B cells are implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathophysiology, a predictive or diagnostic autoantibody remains elusive. In this study, the Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR), a cohort of over 10 million individuals, was used to generate whole-proteome...

I disagree if I'm reading this correctly. I've experienced hypersomnia and insomnia, and yes, one might feel that can do more, but it won't lessen delayed PEM from going over your limit. That being said, the quality of sleep does help improve that wired/tired/hangover feeling.

Live-attenuated virus vaccine defective in RNAi suppression includes rapid protection in neonatal and adult mice lacking mature B and T cells https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2321170121 https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2024/04/15/vaccine-breakthrough-means-no-more-chasing-strains

Findings from the autopsies, which took place between April 2020 and March 2021, confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 primarily infected and damaged the airway and lungs. But scientists also found virus fragments (viral RNA) in 79 of 85 body locations, with some virus found up to 230 days after patient’s...

Abstract Background: Several studies have demonstrated that early childhood and adolescent obesity are risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. Obesity is thought to share inflammatory components with MS through overproduction of pro-inflammatory adipokines (e.g., leptin) and...

That's a whole other issue when doctors refuse to prescribe them with positive test results, even with severe symptoms. It will resolve on its own :emoji_rolling_eyes:

Abstract Males and females experience different trajectories of neuromuscular function across the lifespan, with females demonstrating accelerated deconditioning in later life. We hypothesize that the menopause is a critical period in the female lifespan, during which the dramatic reduction in...

Not all tilt table testing is the same. The methodology and conditions of the test depend on the clinical question being asked. Interpretation requires an understanding of physiology and what defines normal and abnormal values.
