Dietary restriction, via glucocorticoids, rewires innate and adaptive immunity, and this leads to the conservation of glucose while maintaining protective host defense

Neehee. Niet doen.
De impact van covid is hoger dan die van griep maar toch prikken we griep vanaf 60 jaar en covid pas vanaf 70? Wat is daar de logica achter?

Study links working while sick to higher risk of future absence
Employees who work while sick have a roughly 30% higher likelihood of later absenteeism than those who don’t.

Powerpoint Folie mit der Überschrift: Alles ganz schön schlimm, was ist nun also zu tun? •primäre und sekundäre Psychologisierung von Long COVID, Post Vac & ME/CFS zurückweisen, denn Entstigmatisierung funktioniert bei diesen Erkrankungen über ‘Ent-Psychologisierung’ •sich bewusst machen, dass es im Diskurs nicht nur um Wissen geht, sondern auch um Macht, Deutungshoheit, Sexismus, finanzielle Interessen… •ein paar konkrete Vorschläge zur Entstigmatisierung: •den Betroffenen zuhören, Glauben schenken, ihre Wahrnehmung nicht in Frage stellen, kein Relativieren (Stichwort Selbststigma) •Prävention! Masken und Luftfilter sind sichtbare Entstigmatisierungs-Maßnahmen und Zeichen der Solidarität mit den Betroffenen •Biomedizinische Forschung fördern •Verpflichtende Betroffenenbeiteiligung an Forschungsprojekten •Verpflichtende Fortbildungen für Gutachter*innen und Ärzt*innen Oben auf der Folie sind die Logos der Universität und der Uniklinik Leipzig, rechts vom Text ist ein Sticker vom Berlin Buyers Club abgebildet, mit der Aufschrift: Ich vermisse Lachen Ich vermisse Duschen Ich vermisse Essen Ich vermisse Tanzen Ich vermisse Reisen Ich vermisse Freiheit Ich vermisse Musik Ich vermisse dich Ich vermisse mich Ich habe ME/CFS
Long COVID & ME/CFS are feminist issues - heute und an allen anderen Tagen auch ✊🏻
Zum feministischen Kampftag lasse ich euch noch mal meine Abschlussfolie von meiner letzten Präsentation hier. Ist ja nicht so, dass es keine Lösungen geben würde…
It’s not a coincidence to me that #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth and #LongCOVID awareness happen together. The cognitive symptoms my patients describe overlap in real, meaningful ways… and deserve the same validation, research, and treatments. 🧠

Screenshot of a CIDRAP news article titled “Metformin not effective in treating long-COVID symptoms, study finds,” written by Liz Szabo. Below the headline is a photo of a woman holding her hand to her forehead, appearing fatigued or distressed, representing symptoms associated with Long COVID. The article is labeled as a news brief about Metformin and its lack of effectiveness for treating long-COVID symptoms.
"Metformin not effective in treating long-COVID symptoms, study finds."
"Although a number of studies have found that a diabetes drug called metformin reduces the risk of long COVID, new research finds that it does not reduce symptoms of the condition."

A good documentation of COVID history preserving data for posterity before it is vanished substack.com/home/post/p-...
Although post 2022 COVID variants are often called "Omicron", they are in fact very different from each others. This very interesting study reveals how some of them can have completely different impacts on the brain.
Rather than calling out single locations, the IndoorCO2map can you show many locations - with the caveat that those are just short Measurements taking at some Point in the past - but some Locations have been measured often already and is still a first indication.
1) 🇩🇪 This study of hospital employees (HEs) infected with Sars-Cov-2 in three medical centres in Cologne, found that a year later, at least 3.2% meet ME/CFS criteria.
In any case it doesn't seem like he's working for Labour.
Are we sure that Starmer isn't in fact working for the Greens?
And, finally, the last regular self-reported survey on Long COVID prevalence (how many people in the population do currently have LC) did not seem to be showing a decrease in rates during 2024 (when it was terminated by the Trump administration), despite decreasing testing: bsky.app/profile/otro...

To add to their poor way of detecting infection, they also missed out on several key Long COVID symptoms. bsky.app/profile/otro...

260 participants, found Long COVID was linked to more mild cognitive impairment over 4.4 years, 27% vs 5% after recovery and 1% in COVID negative controls, with about 4 times higher risk and a higher risk of Alzheimer related MCI.

Many with long COVID remain on the job despite reduced ability to work
In a Swedish survey, 51% rated their ability to work as “poor,” but only 18% were on sick leave.
