Detailed clinical characterizations may inform pathogenesis. We evaluated […]
Authors: Jocelyn Solis-Moreira JUNE 20, 2022 https://www.braintomorrow.com/ People continue to experience neurological problems six months after recovering from a COVID-19 infection, finds a recent study from the University of California San Diego. In fact, scientists say most coronavirus long-haulers battle brain-related issues. The findings are part of a long-term study tracking the progression of neurological […]
Authors: Gary Van Beusekom | News Writer | CIDRAP News Posted June 10, 2022 Two studies to be presented at upcoming professional society meetings suggest that some long COVID-19 symptoms may be related to the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the vagus nerve and that the use of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)—which increases blood flow—can improve […]
Authors: Chris Melore Study Finds May 3, 2022 A severe coronavirus infection could leave patients with the brain of a 70-year-old, lowering someone’s IQ by 10 points, according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London found that COVID patients are dealing with levels of cognitive impairment which are […]

Authors: Maxime Taquet, John R Geddes, Masud Husain, Sierra Luciano, Paul J Harrison Summary Background Neurological and psychiatric sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported, but more data are needed to adequately assess the effects of COVID-19 on brain health. We aimed to provide robust estimates of incidence rates and relative risks of neurological and psychiatric […]
Authors: Yapeng Su 28, Dan Yuan 28, Daniel G. Chen 28,Mark M. Davis, Jason D. Goldman, James R. Heath 29 Highlights Longitudinal multiomics associate PASC with autoantibodies, viremia and comorbidities Reactivation of latent viruses during initial infection may contribute to PASC Subclinical autoantibodies negatively correlate with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies Gastrointestinal PASC uniquely present with post-acute expansion of cytotoxic T cells […]
Authors: Posted on January 13, 2022 by Jesse Santiano, M.D. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has four structural proteins. The spike, membrane, envelop, and nucleocapsid proteins. The spike protein protrudes from the middle of the coronavirus and attaches to the ACE2 receptor of cells to start the process of cell entry, replication, and infection. The two major parts of the […]
