Haha, I actually saw this paper yesterday but gave up when I saw the name Vinay Prasad. Thanks for clearing that up :)

Thank you! Then it is indeed my fault as I was too stupid to find it.

Well age matched and not too focused on older age groups. However almost 1/2 of LC patients in this study are overweight so possibly a lot of noise here. The largest chunk of data (including basic data such as Cohort demographics, symptomatology, and other key features) is in the supplementary...

Published abstract and link here Preprint Complement dysregulation is a predictive and therapeutically amenable feature of long COVID Background: Long COVID encompasses a heterogeneous set of ongoing symptoms that affect many individuals after recovery from infection with severe acute...

Great, so the only statement they've ever made is to pick fights with other patient organisations. Seems very similar to https://twitter.com/LongCovidAP and their founder https://twitter.com/JoshuaPribanic whose main focus seems to be to pick fights left and right with other patient...

I'm able to translate some messages to German if you forward them to me :)

A hypoarousal model of neurological post-COVID syndrome: the relation between mental fatigue, the level of central nervous activation and cognitive processing speed Background Knowledge on the nature of post-COVID neurological sequelae often manifesting as cognitive dysfunction and fatigue is...

COVID-19 Recovery: Consistent Absence of Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarker Abnormalities in Patients With Neurocognitive Post-COVID Complications Abstract Background To investigate evidence of residual viral infection, intrathecal immune activation, central nervous system (CNS) injury, and humoral...

Validating some of the findings of Douglas Frasers team whose work and choice of cohort (predominantly older, a slight majority of males, often with pre-existing conditions, with predominantly respiratory and coughing problems) has been discussed here...

Validation of ANG-1 and P-SEL as biomarkers of post-COVID-19 conditions using data from the Biobanque québécoise de la COVID-19 (BQC-19) The quest for understanding and managing the long-term effects of COVID-19, often referred to as Long COVID or post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), remains an...

That's great @NelliePledge, thank you for doing this! There's also NichtGenesen and their english speaking analogue NotRecovered, both are based in Germany from what I know. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be as well setup as other organisations (they aren't an NGO, e.V. or similar) but they...

Long-term health impacts of COVID-19 among 242,712 adults in England Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is having a lasting impact on health and well-being. We compare current self-reported health, quality of life and symptom profiles for people with ongoing symptoms following COVID-19 to those who...

An article on the study has also been published in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03295-w#ref-CR1. A twitter thread by one of the authors of the study: www.twitter.com/IlievLab/status/1716568790903787819?t=gipAcjAvDXDrkrlGZFqXtQ&s=19.

Fungal microbiota sustains lasting immune activation of neutrophils and their progenitors in severe COVID-19 Gastrointestinal fungal dysbiosis is a hallmark of several diseases marked by systemic immune activation. Whether persistent pathobiont colonization during immune alterations and...

It appears that this is the study vanElzakker (which is the study mentioned above by @Andy) was referring to (see also www.twitter.com/MBVanElzakker/status/1487878902651527172)

Does anybody know what happened to the Stanford study of Prof. James that was also using a PET scan to tag TSPO in ME/CFS patients? Were there negative results that weren't deemed useful to be published? An older thread is here...

I can definitely see this being true, especially as it seems that many people, including me, weren't aware of such a study for ME in the first place (recruitment appears to still be open www.twitter.com/MBVanElzakker/status/1715765815717335210). Several Long-Covid studies and trials are...
