Maximal oxygen uptake, pulmonary function and walking economy are not impaired in patients diagnosed with long COVID OK Berg, N Aagård, J Helgerud, MF Brobakken, J Hoff, E Wang Introduction SARS-CoV-2 may result in the development of new symptoms, known as long COVID, a few months after the...

Structural and Oxygen Metabolic Magnetic Resonance Imaging of long-COVID and ME/CFS Xiang Xu, Puneet Belani, Dengrong Jiang, Rodophe Leforestier, Hanzhang Lu, and Benjamin Natelson Motivation: Many long-COVID patients experience fatigue and post exertional malaise which are primary symptoms of...

Post-COVID Fatigue Relates to Bioenergetic Dysfunctions in the Posterior Cingulate Gyrus Hye Bin Yoo, Hyeong Hun Lee, Serene Huang, and Jeong Hoon Lim Motivation: Persistent fatigue after recovery from SARS-CoV-2 shows pathologies comparable to chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic...

Assessment of Functional connectivity in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome using 7Tesla MRI Maira Inderyas, Kiran Thapaliya, Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik, Markus Barth, and Leighton Barnden Motivation: To assess Functional Connectivity (FC) differences between healthy individuals...

Detection of herpes viruses in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis /chronic fatigue syndrome in Belarus Svetlana Orlova, Galina Rudjko, Olga Orlova, Tatsiana Dakukina Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a multifactorial chronic disease. The etiology and...

1994 CDC criteria None of the 11 ME/CFS participants with only an active B19 infection had PEM, while almost all who had active HHV-6 or HHV-7 infections had PEM. (Table 3) Unfortunately, they don't say how many of the 38 without active infections had PEM. Edit: Missed it: ------ Edit 2...

Lights and Shadows of Long COVID: Are Latent Infections the Real Hidden Enemy? Francesca Serapide, Marisa Talarico, Salvatore Rotundo, Vittorio Pascale, Riccardo Serraino, Enrico Maria Trecarichi, Alessandro Russo Abstract Long COVID-19 (LC) is a poorly understood, multifactorial condition...

I found an old, long thread about staph toxoid vaccine on Phoenix Rising.

On the Health Rising blog about Dr. Gottfries, someone made this interesting comment: One of the books is about $40 on Amazon, the other I can only find from one seller in Germany for €400.

Enhanced Gene Expression Following Vaccination in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Ekua W Brenu, Gunn M Atkinson, Mieke L van Driel, Sanne Kreijkamp-Kaspers, Don R Staines, Sonya M Marshall-Gradisnik Abstract Vaccines have been shown to cause differential expression of genes...

I think it could be a case of it being difficult to find the reservoir. In this situation, I think not finding antisense in a given study is weak evidence of there not being any antisense anywhere. Just evidence of no antisense where they looked. The blood transcriptomics study you linked...

Maybe - and I definitely could be wrong, I might just be seeing what I want to see - but I think there's a good chance in people with pre-COVID ME/CFS there was a first infection, the analogue virus to SARS-CoV-2. Maybe a coronavirus, enterovirus, maybe even somehow EBV. Maybe different ones...

Really feels like we're finally on the precipice of a huge change in understanding of and attitude toward long COVID, and hopefully related diseases, if "long infection" pans out.

Assuming NLR (neutrophil count / lymphocyte count) is actually related to cognitive impairment, I wonder if we can figure out which specific cognitive ability it best predicts. The deep phenotyping study did an assortment of cognitive tests: Here are the correlations of each neurocognitive...

So high relative neutrophils and low relative lymphocytes have the highest spearman correlations with brain fog. (This is after adding in a guess for the missing participant's total bilirubin where it says "<0.2". Best case correlation for bilirubin is 0.67 if the real value is 0.2, worst case...
