I would suppose that this might be very normal in any disease or circumstance that causes severe degeneration of muscles?

I find this an extremely strange paper. My only explanation is that this paper has to be part of some larger grant proposal to study the role of Enteroviruses in ME/CFS or that TEMPI funded a paper specifically on Enteroviruses or wants to focus on this, possibly due to Christoph’s background...

Seems to be a general problem in the post-viral illness field. No one wants to do this type of work and funding isn’t the main reason. It seems to be the case for MS as well. One would have thought that someone would have at least tried to replicate and refine Ascherio’s big MS and EBV findings...

They are indeed looking at microclots as well as immune phenotypes of people with ME/CFS

Would be funny to see, if in a couple of years, we'll see all the pictures that Long-Covid patients on social media had previously posted of "Covid-toes" and other visbile abnormalities, reappear in medical journals and quizzes that will leave medical students wondering what these things could...

Study looking to recruit particpants in NY for anybody with a ME/CFS diagnosis pre 2020. The only thing necessary will be a single research appointment for one blood draw. My guess is that they are probably looking at microclots in pre-Covid ME/CFS.

Venous insufficiency and acrocyanosis in long COVID: dysautonomia A 33-year-old man was referred to our specialist clinic with a 6-month history of a rapid purple discolouration of his legs on standing; he reported that his legs would progressively feel heavy, tingly, itchy, and become dusky in...

Diabetes following SARS-CoV-2 infection: Incidence, persistence, and implications of COVID-19 vaccination. A cohort study of fifteen million people. Background Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) incidence is increased after diagnosis of COVID-19. The impact of vaccination on this increase, for how long...

"Baseline patient demographic and clinical data The mean age of the included patients was 30.5±6.9 years, 32 patients were males (58.2%), and the mean number of days after COVID-19 diagnosis was 13.5±5.6 days. The mean resting heart rate was 84.4±13.8 beats/minute. The mean left ventricular...

Ivabradine effects on COVID-19-associated postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: a single center prospective study Background: A wide range of cardiac arrhythmias were reported in the setting of active infection or as a complication of COVID-19. The main pathophysiology can be attributed...

An article in dutch news which describes some of their research and how they're very keen on testing therapeutics but are encountering problems on that front https://www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/een-leven-zonder-postcovid-ietsje-dichterbij-amsterdamse-wetenschappers-zitten-op-een-spoor~ba477769/.

Forming a consensus opinion to inform long COVID support mechanisms and interventions: a modified Delphi approach Background Current approaches to support patients living with post-COVID condition, also known as Long COVID, are highly disparate with limited success in managing or resolving a...

Not sure if this has been mentioned here, but some of these dogs might have a nose for Long-Covid (and a study on this topic has been funded in Germany)...

The study has been published here: https://www.longdom.org/open-access/screening-for-sarscov2-persistence-in-long-covid-patients-using-sniffer-dogs-and-scents-from-axillary-sweats-samples.pdf A similar study titled "Detektion und Entschlüsselung von Post COVID mit Hunden, Metabolomik und...

Oh yes. I'm more than aware of Carmen Scheibenbogen, the CFC and also the work of Prüß, both at the Charité. However, I'd never heard of the "Charité Research Organisation" before which is a private organisation, and collaborates with the Charité University and Hospital.
