Celine Dion got her voice back thanks to a repurposed drug!
Diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare disease that took away her ability to walk, talk, and sing, she fought an inspiring battle to regain her health. Through intense physical therapy and the use of IVIg, a repurposed drug...
Abstract
A single session of aerobic or resistance training transiently enhances cognitive function, making it a valuable strategy for dementia prevention in the older people. Despite its acknowledged benefits, the precise mechanism behind exercise-induced cognitive improvement remains...
Drink 3 cups of coffee every day for cardiometabolic health !
Here is the summary of this recent paper on benefit of coffee: • Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) is a growing health problem, where people suffer from at least two serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or...
Abstract
Context
Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) is an increasing public health concern. Previous observational studies have suggested inverse associations between coffee, tea, and caffeine intake and risks of individual cardiometabolic diseases; however, their associations with CM and...
The authors point out that pregnancy is a period of profound hormonal and physiological changes.
The authors did something incredible by mapping neuroanatomical changes in an individual from preconception through two years postpartum.
- There were pronounced decreases in gray matter volume...
Abstract
Pregnancy is a period of profound hormonal and physiological changes experienced by millions of women annually, yet the neural changes unfolding in the maternal brain throughout gestation are not well studied in humans.
Leveraging precision imaging, we mapped neuroanatomical changes...
It took 5.5+ years in my case after sudden viral onset. I did have odd muscle sensation after small amounts of exercise but nothing else, and if I did too much my legs muscles would get fatigued. I wasn't experiencing delayed PEM or cognitive issues.
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to identify potential changes in cardiorespiratory fitness among athletes who had previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods
In this prospective observational multicenter hybrid study (CoSmo-S), cardiopulmonary exercise testing on treadmills or...
We found overlap of genetic influences on hot flashes and psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression), which might help to explain why antidepressant medications are sometimes helpful for hot flashes, and why hormonal treatments are sometimes helpful for depression
I know a few people (one pwME) who get regular medical hydro/water massage to treat pain. It has prevented them from taking meds. It works for some with chronic joint, musculoskeletal pain. But it's not very practical for those who are housebound and might make pain worse.
Abstract
Background Most women experience hot flashes (hot flushes) during the menopause transition. Menopausal hot flashes typically persist for years. For a sizeable minority of women, hot flashes are severe and substantially impairing. It is worthwhile to further investigate the genetic...
Long Covid sufferer's call for better support
A doctor from Leeds who developed long Covid and the debilitating effects of ME has said NHS patients like her have been “left to rot”.
Becky Williams, 34, first caught Covid in March 2020 and has been left house-bound ever since, with her symptoms...
I did hydro massage therapy during Covid infection for leg muscle exhaustion. Only my legs were in the water. It was temporary relief but felt good and I was able to stand and walk around for an hour.
A new large-scale, meta-analysis, suggests hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can control insulin resistance in healthy, post-menopausal women. This finding could help guide the use of HRT, something that has long been controversial but could apparently have substantial benefits for certain...
Abstract
Background: With limited pharmacological interventions, post-COVID-19 condition is a clinical challenge, and supplementary therapies are essential for symptom relief and enhancing quality of life (QoL).
In our prospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of Salus...
Highlights
Role of domestic animals in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
High genetic recombination events in pet cats and dogs.
Spill over of VOC to household pets from their infected owners.
Human – household pet association might be the cause of another outbreak
Abstract
Background
Severe...
Back in the early 70s we lived on a farm near a German family farm in Germany. They had a dog named Kiki that I played with and he was covered with several live ticks. I recall he had difficulty walking for long periods of time.
