Persistence, prevalence, and polymorphism of sequelae after COVID-19 in young adults
Background COVID-19 sequelae are poorly defined with an ambiguous pathophysiology. Persistent sequelae could have global, public health and societal ramifications. We aimed to describe sequelae presenting more than six months after COVID-19 in non-hospitalized young adults. // 13.2.2022
Hazards of persistent and new clinical sequelae caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection among elderly patients
A new study estimated the risk and hazards of persistent and new clinical sequelae of the SARS-CoV-2 infection among elderly patients (above 65 years or older) during the post-acute phase of the infection. // 11.2.2022
Study: Almost a third of older adults infected with covid-19 develop new conditions
Almost a third (32 of every 100) of older adults infected with covid-19 in 2020 developed at least one new condition that required medical attention in the months after initial infection, 11 more than those who did not have covid-19, finds a US study published by The BMJ today. // 10.2.2022
Risk of persistent and new clinical sequelae among adults aged 65 years and older during the post-acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection: retrospective cohort study
Objective To characterize the risk of persistent and new clinical sequelae in adults aged ≥65 years after the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Design Retrospective cohort study. // 9.2.2022

Cerebrovascular impairment persists months after severe acute COVID-19, UK study
Researchers in the United Kingdom have conducted an observational cohort study on hospitalized patients and have found that the degree of severity of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predicts the occurrence of chronic cerebrovascular impairment. The study further suggests that the levels of cerebrovascular impairment are associated with worse cognitive, mental, and physical well-being. // 7.2.2022
Study investigates if prior SARS-CoV-2 infection increases sensitivity to toxin that induces parkinsonism
A recent study explored whether individuals who have recovered from mild to moderate or severe COVID-19 may have an increased risk for developing Parkinson’s disease in the future. // 7.2.2022

Comparison of serum neurodegenerative biomarkers among hospitalized COVID‐19 patients versus non‐COVID subjects with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or Alzheimer's dementia
Introduction Neurological complications among hospitalized COVID-19 patients may be associated with elevated neurodegenerative biomarkers. // 13.1.2022
Even Mild Cases Of COVID-19 Leave A Mark On The Brain – But It’s Not Yet Clear How Long It Lasts
The new research findings, although preliminary, raise concerns about the potential long-term effects of COVID-19, a Texas A&M cognitive neuroscientist says. // 24.9.2022
Study provides insights into how SARS-CoV-2 impacts the brain
Some patients who develop new cognitive symptoms after a mild bout of COVID have abnormalities in their cerebrospinal fluid similar to those found in people with other infectious diseases. // 18.1.2022
Cardiac Fluorodeoxyglucose–PET/MRI Assessment of Myocardial Injury in COVID-19
This cohort study examines myocardial metabolic changes early after recovery from COVID-19 using fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (PET) and shows an association of these changes with abnormalities in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based function and tissue characterization... // 12.1.2022
Mild respiratory SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause multi-lineage cellular dysregulation and myelin loss in the brain
Survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection frequently experience lingering neurological symptoms, including impairment in attention, concentration, speed of information processing and memory. // 10.1.2022
