Question What is the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among outpatients with COVID-19? Findings In this cohort study of 398 530 adult outpatients with COVID-19, the rate of VTE was low in the first 30 days after COVID-19 diagnosis and even lower after 30 days of follow-up. Factors...

Abstract Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to many studies examining its arrhythmogenic effects. However, there are many other viruses that are capable of inducing arrhythmias that have not received as much attention. The objective of this study was to review common viruses and...

Correction, David Berg is not a doctor, but he plays one in real life. My understanding is that his wife owned HEMEX lab. He immediately told my doctor when he met him that I had active HHV6 infection and was in a hypercoagulative state based on minor "high" level fragmin lab tests.

I don't know if this study was posted. It mentions increased muscle injury after infection.

Dr. Marc Carrier, senior scientist and Chief of the Division of Hematology here at The Ottawa Hospital did mention seeing increased blood clots during an interview a couple of years ago in acute Covid patients in hospital, but I have not heard or read anything on his twitter that says much...

My GP of 37 years retired 2 yrs ago. She was neutral regarding M.E, "they haven't figured out yet". I've had recurrent viral/vertigo for the last 2+ years so she set up an MRI appointment to r/o other possibilities. When I had a specific health issue she would set up and appointment to...

Are patients tested first to determine whether they are low in Omega 3? My Omega 3 levels were at 3% on my RBC Fatty Acid test. My cognitive function was terrible during that time period 20 years ago. I started taking fish oils as recommended and after 6 months there was noticeable...

Highlights CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses characterized using SARS-CoV-2 pMHC-spheromers.• CD8+ and CD4+ T cell response kinetics are decoupled after mRNA vaccination.• Reduced peripheral CD8+ T cell responses after infection compared to mRNA vaccination. Prior exposure limits peripheral CD8+ T...

I've never had influenza that I'm aware of and I've never had the flu vaccine in my life, but from my experience last December 4th from contracting Covid or influenza is that I'll be getting both Covid and Flu vax every year from now on.

There are ten and thousands of patients in the U.K and Canada who went to the hospital for unrelated issues and contracted Covid.

@TigerLilea They are still doing this in Ontario. A diabetic friend had to go to the ER a couple of weeks ago and was told to wear the mask they provide.

Demystifying Long Covid and Long Covid Lockdown Syndrome on social media. Long Covid is a physical, biological phenomenon. Long Lockdown, however, is psychosomatic. Easy.

I worked in clinics where we saw pts with post-polio syndrome, MS, R/A et and not once has anyone ever described what I experience with PEM. I think PEM syndrome is pretty distinctive and bizarre that we would have heard it described by others without M.E by now. I'm still on the fence as...

Possible insomnia issues might play a role too.
