I'd imagine it's pretty hard to get a sense of physical density looking at fluorescent markers, but for what it's worth these images of larger...
Wouldn't this depend on their density and form? Platelets are presumably much denser than these fibrin polymers, which as I understand it are more...
My impression from a very small sample is that doctors in Mexico don't generally know anything at all about ME. Maybe that will change with...
They definitely weren't blinded for the platelet spreading or clumping they visually assigned scores of 1-4 to though, as they don't even report...
In the Pipeline blog: Long Covid, Long Other Things Derek Lowe's blog (which is generally an insider perspective on the pharma industry) is...
They say in the paper that the 45.5% they observed at 3 months is similar to the general population in Ireland (which is actually 52%). The one...
I also wonder about past Covid being an issue with these results. They say that patients were excluded if they had past Covid infection, but they...
Looking at their past papers, looks like they are claiming fibrin amyloid formation is present in migraine, T2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,...
I'm not sure what's going on, but it doesn't look like these are directly comparable. The controls in that earlier paper showed about five times...
If this turns out to be a solid finding, I wonder how much we'll see it in other diseases as well. The same authors have previously done work that...
Not a direct replication, but the Roy et al paper on ATG13 did find similar results, also showing quite a strong effect, in a small sample (7...
Abstract We have previously demonstrated that platelet poor plasma (PPP) obtained from patients with LongCovid/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19...
The data is definitely and obviously bad. It's not even an asking the wrong questions, it's just bad data collection and bad calculations. I'm in...
Someone needs to invent sham yoga, so these trials have something to use as a placebo treatment. Just a random sequence of randomly-generated body...
It is very easy to score mild or moderate on the PHQ-9 if you have Long Covid without being depressed at all. Being tired and having some brain...
I downloaded their data and had a look at some of the details and the drinking data definitely doesn't add up. I don't think we can trust any of...
Also the depression scores went down very slightly and the anxiety scores went down significantly between 3 months and a year post-Covid, while...
As far as I can tell, a person drinking a glass of wine with dinner twice per week would qualify as having problematic alcohol use in this study...
