A new method can isolate and analyze rare cells of interest based on the expression mRNA biomarkers without the need for cell surface markers. The application of FIND-Seq can have a broad impact in accessing previously inaccessible cells involved in various diseases, using unique signatures of...

One good thing is that long-Covid is bringing a lot of awareness to post-infectious dysautonomia in the news and research.

Abstract Objectives: We aimed to determine risk factors for the development of long coronavirus disease (COVID) in healthcare workers (HCWs). Methods: We conducted a case-control study among HCWs who had confirmed COVID-19 infection working in a Brazilian healthcare system between March 1...

Doesn't the butterfly represent the thyroid gland? I think thyroid groups use this symbol.

I don't remember the length of the needle but if I were to guess it was 1.5 inches, we used a small gauge, around 30 gauge which is very fine so hardly any feeling at all. I had magnesium injections in my butt for 2 years and the needle was 25 gauge and 2.5 inches long! I was like, how is...

@Sara94 I can't say exactly but less than a minute. Try not to get too worked up if you can. All the patients that had this procedure did just fine, even those who were afraid of needles :)

75 per cent of COVID ‘long haulers’ free of symptoms in 12 months: McMaster study Full recovery is the likeliest outcome, even in severe cases says researcher https://www.thestar.com/ths/news/hamilton-region/2023/01/04/mcmaster-long-covid-study.html

I have to disagree with you there, GP are not trained to do these procedures. I know this from experience working in a Podiatry clinic and seeing the mess they've made causing infections and the ingrown nails will grow back

I think they should at least mention ME when they're using the term PEM or post exertional exacerbation in their videos.

Those who are receiving the 6-8 jabs are house bond and are at very high risk, they also have several different home cares so they have to weigh the benefits vs risk. If they aren't building antibodies then they are at risk of becoming very ill and dying. I would gladly take all the...

I forgot to mention that when I received my 4th update jab a month ago, the nurse told me that seniors and some persons with disabilities have already had 8 jabs. Some house bound pts have to have their jabs outside b/c it's not safe inside with care workers.

That's ok b/c non surgical podiatrists are trained in surgical procedures for ingrown nails and plantar warts.

A 38-year-old man with no cardiac risk factors was evaluated because of episodic chest discomfort occurring over several months, which was worse with exertion and better with rest. Management decisions were made. Does anyone have access to this paper...

I had all these vestibular tests done years ago at the hospital and nothing was found to be dysfunctional. Decades later I'm still dealing on and off with vestibular issues and have concluded that viral reactivation is the cause. I've learnt to live with it.

Marcus Stanlberg, MD, PhD, Artur Fedorowski, MD, PhD Conclusion Although some limitations exist, the study constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of the role of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in the post-COVID condition. Patients were systematically evaluated and...

They do a nerve block at the base of the toe and will most likely use a topical freeze spray before they inject the toe.

I assisted in surgical procedures with surgical podiatrists and it doesn't hurt. They never warned the patient in advance that it would be painful, in fact it was quite the opposite. On one occasion the doctor told a patient that sticking a needle in the heel was the most painful...
