These "pulling together data from medical records to try to characterize Long Covid" studies don't seem to be capturing Long Covid in any kind of...
Yes, it was very clear that N95s were more protective than surgical masks (for which we had plenty of mechanistic evidence). It seems rather...
David Fisman, one of the authors, recently pointed out that the Canadian government gave a $600,000 grant earlier in the pandemic for a 6-month...
Their basic point — that we should not discount mechanistic evidence — seems pretty sound to me. I think this is something we've fallen down on...
They include a copy of the whole survey in the supplemental materials (all studies should do this!) and I think it's fairly clear what they're...
Key Points Question What proportion of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 who were tested in emergency departments (EDs) reported post–COVID-19...
It's a bit confusing how they present it, but they asked about physical exhaustion, difficulties concentrating, etc. at any point between the test...
1.5% of the negative group reported a CFS diagnosis in 9 months — that's 2% annually. Interesting to see such a high number relative to a lot of...
Oliver expanded on his tweet here. There's only one paragraph about his own health: "After two years of dodging the bullet I then caught covid...
This jumped out at me as well. Perhaps these results suggest EBV re-activation is common in the early months or years of Long Covid and ME, but...
The one Putrino didn't get from NIH was on microclots, so I think entirely different (apparently, they didn't provide any reviewer comments, so no...
"Targeted metabolic profiling indicated low amino acid and triglyceride levels and deregulated acylcarnithines, characteristic for CFS and...
The authors note in the discussion: "As seen in Table 1, relatively high levels of positive results were found in the control group, as follows:...
I think to explain PEM and lowered capacity in a PEM state, maybe it makes more sense to imagine cells that are flipped from the normal TCA cycle...
The things dialysis removes are many orders of magnitude smaller than red blood cells, so simple filtration wouldn't work at all. Also, they give...
Isn't dialysis passing blood over a membrane and pulling things out by osmosis? Is there any filtration involved?
This is exactly what I'm thinking. The evidence for decreased use of glucose and increased use of glutamate is pretty weak: Armstrong found less...
They report a risk ratio of 0.32 (.25–.42) for new diagnosis of malignant neoplasm (cancer) for vaccinated versus unvaccinated people within 28...
I suppose with a typical western diet having much more protein than we strictly need, it's unlikely that a lack of amino acids would be an issue...
I wonder what the theorized impaired use of glucose and fat at the mitochondrial level, compensated for by increased use of amino acids, would...
