What is SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19? What do we know about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on the nervous system? What are the immediate (acute) effects of SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 on the brain? What is the typical recovery from COVID-19? What are possible long-term neurological complications of COVID-19? How do the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 relate […]
Authors: Bruno Bordallo, Mozart Bellas, Arthur Fernandes Cortez, Matheus Vieira & Marcelo Pinheiro Advances in Rheumatology volume 60, Article number: 50 (2020) Cite this article Abstract The COVID-19 outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global major concern. In this review, we addressed a theoretical model on immunopathogenesis associated with severe COVID-19, based on the current literature of SARS-CoV-2 […]

Authors: the ISBT COVID-19 Working Group School of Medicine Abstract Growing evidence suggests that ABO blood group may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with group O individuals less likely to test positive and group A conferring a higher susceptibility to infection and propensity to severe disease. The level of evidence supporting […]
Authors: By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D.Jun 8 2021 Scientists from the Cleveland Clinic, USA, have recently evaluated the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19) vaccination among individuals with or without a history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The study findings reveal that individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection do not get additional […]
COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative, Nature (2021) Abstract The genetic makeup of an individual contributes to susceptibility and response to viral infection. While environmental, clinical and social factors play a role in exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease severity1,2, host genetics may also be important. Identifying host-specific genetic factors may reveal biological mechanisms of therapeutic relevance and […]
Authors: by Study Finds AUGUST 15, 2021 CAMBRIDGE, England — A simple blood test for long COVID is on the horizon. Biological “fingerprints” can identify individuals with the debilitating syndrome, according to new research. This opens the door to the first accurate diagnosis of the mysterious condition.

Authors: Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD July 1, 2021 Although the mainstream media outlets might have you believe otherwise, the vaccines that continue to be administered for the COVID pandemic are emerging as substantial sources of morbidity and mortality themselves. While the degree to which these negative outcomes of the COVID vaccines can be debated, […]
Authors: Timothy L. Wong* and Danielle J. Weitzer Abstract Background and Objectives: Long COVID defines a series of chronic symptoms that patients may experience after resolution of acute COVID-19. Early reports from studies with patients with long COVID suggests a constellation of symptoms with similarities to another chronic medical illness—myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). A review study comparing […]
