We had a UCL Grand Round on 'Covid Toes' today. The speaker confirmed (and showed pictures to show) that the pathology of Covid Toes does not look...
There seems to be good evidence for microvascular damage during acute Covid but I don't think it adds up as a basis for LongCovid. There is a...
I am afraid I don't buy the attempt to make the micro clots long lasting and yet troublesome. The liver and spleen remove fine debris from blood...
No, most brain inflammation will produce a diffuse polyclonal rise in IgG. Yes, oligoclonal bands occur in other diseases with antigen specific...
The risk related immune genes are already known for MS. You more or less have to have a particular MHC type to get MS. I forget which but it...

I could write directly to Riley and Viner as concerned academic colleague (being likened to the SS).
Ah, I see that Nellie was commenting on your transcript here @Trish. Mine took a time to appear and if mine appears I see no reason why yours...
Can anyone explain to me how Amazon works? On Amazon.co.uk the only review visible is mine at one star, yet it says 75% of reviews are 5 star. On...
Another interesting aspect of this is what we now know about bias at SMC. In the past we have seen what appear to be biased choices of experts...
The advisory committee consists of: Ian Brunskill Associate Editor, The Times and The Sunday Times Prof Eleanor Riley Professor of Immunology...
The trustees of SMC seem to be a rather faceless group of communicator people. I am not sure that they would know what to do in response to a...
Yes, I was wondering who the board of trustees were.
We have had YUPPIEs And NIMBYs And DINKYs I propose the TOWDGIs The ones who don't get it. An interesting byproduct of something like Fox's...
