Latest Research | Long Covid
Latest long COVID research explores persistent symptoms, underlying mechanisms, and potential treatments. Studies reveal multi-system impacts, including cardiovascular, neurological, and respiratory issues. Researchers are investigating biomarkers for diagnosis and effective therapeutic interventions. Emerging data suggest the importance of vaccination in reducing long COVID risk. Ongoing trials aim to identify targeted therapies to alleviate prolonged symptoms and improve patient outcomes.
ME/CFS can develop in Long Covid survivors, characterized by severe fatigue, post-exertional malaise, cognitive impairments, and sleep disturbances. Anyone, but predominantly women, can be affected. Management includes pacing, symptom-specific treatments, and multidisciplinary support.
Mast cell activation, a key component of the immune system, has been increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to the symptomatology of Long COVID. Mast cells play a crucial role in the body’s defense against pathogens and in regulating allergic responses and can manifest as persistent fatigue, brain fog, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, skin rashes, joint
A recent study published in Brain reveals that individuals suffering from long-term COVID-19 may experience significant cognitive issues for over a year. Conducted during the first wave of the pandemic, the research compared patients with ongoing symptoms to those who had fully recovered. Read More...
Battling Long Covid: The Ongoing Struggle for Those Testing Negative but Still Suffering
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CVAD) is a significant aspect of post-COVID-19 syndrome, affecting approximately one-third of highly symptomatic COVID-19 patients, and proper management is crucial for patient well-being
Viral ARDS promotes cardiac inflammation by expanding the CCR2+ macrophage subset, and the associated cardiac phenotypes in mice can be elicited by activating the host immune system even without viral presence in the heart. Read Research..
Long COVID caregivers bear a profound responsibility, navigating the complexities of an illness with uncertain trajectories. Their dedication extends beyond the traditional scope of caregiving, encompassing emotional support, advocacy, and often serving as a bridge between patients and healthcare systems. Their resilience in the face of ongoing challenges highlights the essential role they play in
Identification of CD8 T-cell dysfunction associated with symptoms in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long COVID and treatment with a nebulized antioxidant/anti-pathogen agent in a retrospective case series
Post-Covid breathing difficulties present complex challenges, but with a pragmatic approach, tailored interventions, and ongoing research, we're empowering patients to breathe easier and navigate the road to recovery with confidence
Understanding and addressing breathing patterns is key to managing symptoms, improving well-being, and enhancing quality of life
