Long Covid Molecular

Some of the findings observed have also been reported in patients who have multiple sclerosis, “which could suggest partially shared pathophysiological substrates of fatigue symptoms,” researchers indicated.

Introduction: COVID-19 has been shown to impair cardiovascular function, and further studies have proven that this effect can be long-term on several cardiovascular biomarkers. Fetuin-A, a multi...

The healthy young adults deliberately infected with the coronavirus didn’t notice any cognitive effect, but their test scores showed otherwise.

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a call to investigate sex differences – particularly focusing on girls, women, and sexual and gender ...

SUMMARYSARS-CoV-2 can not only cause respiratory symptoms but also lead to neurological complications. Research has shown that more than 30% of SARS-CoV-2 patients present neurologic symptoms during COVID-19 (A. Pezzini and A. Padovani, Nat Rev Neurol 16:...

Researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2-specific T and B cells in long COVID patients are maintained for two years, similar to fully recovered individuals, offering insights into long-term immunity.

The following is a summary of “Interferon gene expression declines over time post-COVID infection and in long COVID patients,” published in the August 2024 issue of Infectious Disease by Gómez-Carballa et al. Interferons (IFNs) are crucial components of the host's immune defense against viruses. Its impairment and uncontrolled release of cytokines lead to tissue damage,

The majority of children diagnosed with long COVID are likely to experience orthostatic intolerance, a condition that causes the body to struggle with regulating blood pressure and heart rate when standing up.

Notably, people with fewer vaccine doses were more likely to experience post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.

A new long-term study into long COVID has investigated how a certain population of white blood cells, called memory T cells, are established and develop as part of the body’s defence to fight off the disease.

How one drug might work for weight, fertility and dementia.

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have used a cutting-edge model system to uncover the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, induces new cases of diabetes, and worsens complications in people who already have it.

Teenage girls' and boys' brains have aged faster than normal through the Covid-19 pandemic, findings from a new study have indicated

npj Digital Medicine - Long-term changes in wearable sensor data in people with and without Long Covid

Ornina Atieh and Jhony Baissary, postdoctoral scholars at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, recently published an article titled “The Long-Term Effect of COVID-19 Infection on Body Composition.” Their paper, published in Nutrients, delves into their research exploring the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on body fat distribution, bone mineral density, and lean body mass. Grace McComsey is the researchers’ principal investigator. Read the article.

IntroductionThere is a growing interest in the effect of Long-COVID (LC) on cognition, and neuroimaging allows us to gain insight into the structural and fun...

Study reveals that SARS-CoV-2 significantly impairs male fertility by reducing semen quality and altering reproductive hormone levels, with partial recovery post-treatment.

Females are more frequently affected by Long COVID than males, highlighting distinct immunological processes and hormonal variations.

Scientists are worried that persisting cognitive issues may signal a coming surge of dementia and other mental conditions

A study found abnormal lung perfusion in long-COVID patients with normal CT scans, highlighting pulmonary vascular issues. At ERS 2024, researchers call for further investigation into the condition.

Researchers at the National Center for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases (NCNED) at Griffith University have directly compared brain neurochemical levels in long COVID and ME/CFS patients with healthy controls using MRI. The study, "Imbalanced Brain Neurochemicals in long COVID and ME/CFS: A Preliminary Study using MRI," has been published in the American Journal of Medicine.

A series of studies this year have pointed to possible explanations behind 'long COVID' - along with potential measures to treat it.

Columbia researchers identify the people most likely to suffer.

The COVID-19 virus mutates faster in the brain than in the lungs, potentially explaining neurological symptoms like brain fog. These mutations may help the virus adapt, raising concerns about the evolution of new variants.

Study found that COVID-19 cases were more likely to experience severe illness and persistent symptoms compared to non-COVID-19 respiratory illnesses, with age, preexisting conditions, and chronic respiratory disease increasing the risk of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS).

CIDRAP Healthcare workers (HCWs) with COVID-19 had more severe symptoms that lasted longer than those with other respiratory diseases, and a higher proportion met the World Health Organization (WHO…

Routine lab tests are not reliable for diagnosing Long COVID, according to a new study. The research found that no clinical lab values could serve as biomarkers, highlighting the need to focus on symptoms for diagnosis. A new study found that most routine laboratory tests are not reliable for dia

According to WHO, there have been over 760 million cases of Covid-19 globally since December 2019. Interestingly, men and women have been shown to react to Covid-19 infection differently.
