I teach English for Health Sciences at San Rafael in Madrid. Born in California, worked in five countries. #LongCovid 03/20. Brain fog induced views my own
I will pin this here and slowly add my #LongCovid -related blog posts below:
Month-8 update on my "Neck Exercises" blog post. Lots of updates and tips from my experiences (good and bad). Mostly Good! unitedstatesian.blogspot.com/2023/02/neck-e…
"The work highlights the importance of cypin in maintaining healthy brain function and its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions." Another target? Key brain protein may hold answers for memory loss and neurodegenerative diseases share.google/oj035mjTzKY0hF…
"researchers were able to target different types of brain cells affected by AD. Letorozole ... counter Alzheimer's in neurons, while irinotecan worked in glia.“ 🐀 Scientists Find 2 Existing Drugs Can Reverse Alzheimer's Brain Damage in Mice : ScienceAlert share.google/6SBOtndB6y204i…
More proof that the gut has sensors that communicate specific information to the brain through the vagus nerve. #LongCovid #MECFS @remissionbiome An Extra Sense May Connect Gut Bacteria With Our Brain : ScienceAlert share.google/xQRG0tTzg3R4RF…
V. excited to join the SPEAR (Spike Protein Elimination and Recovery) team with @MichaelPelusoMD @microbeminded2 @PutrinoLab @Invivyd to study whether broadly neutralizing mAb can treat Long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome subset driven by persistent spike protein.…
Announcement!! 1. Clinics are shutting down, but patients w/ MECFS & Long Covid need to regain function. Resources are decreasing, while the need grows! We are thrilled to announce the launch of a full-service coaching and consulting program tailored for patients with ME/LC
#TheAcidTest2? People with Long COVID and ME/CFS, would you want to participate in a study using continuous lactate monitors? The monitor would be similar to the CGMs available now & would be provided free. It would require daily symptom tracking & wearing the sensor for 30…
Interest in finding ligands that have very targeted effects. It will be a long time until they find them. @TheNicotineTest Structure-guided engineering of snake toxins for selective modulation of adrenergic and muscarinic receptors | Nature Communications share.google/nMndy842mTLugx…
"The GAPDH aggregation inhibitor .. is expected to be a single drug that can treat many intractable neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease," Six-hour ‘undo’ button: GAI-17 rewinds stroke damage and may beat Alzheimer’s | ScienceDaily share.google/4BRPRRtNmWjiHD…
"when sodium channels are impaired, the heart relies more heavily on backup pathways to keep electrical signals moving. One of those pathways involves electrical interactions between neighboring heart cells in very narrow spaces—a process known as ephaptic coupling" @KatBoniface
"blocking cardiac sodium channels ...can make the heart's electrical conduction unusually sensitive to even modest reductions in blood sodium levels." #LongCovid #mecfs Scientists identify why some heart rhythm drugs heighten risks when sodium levels drop share.google/j0BW19U4qBTMNc…
Another interesting device being researched to measure hydration... It would be helpful for #LongCOVID #MECFS and #POTS They need/want more data 😉 @tessfalor New wearable device offers continuous, noninvasive hydration monitoring for daily use share.google/TT6fefEOO9vgVD…
Thrilled to share I’ve joined @visible_health as Communications and Policy Lead. I’ve long respected their work, and I’m excited to work with them to push forward tools, research, and systemic change. A different angle on the challenge - with the same commitment to change.
Sign up to OMF if you can help by participating in one of our many patient-led studies at @RenegadeRes
Take the time to sign up for this research recruitment tool through OMF. We at @RenegadeRes will be recruiting for several projects as soon as IRB approval is in place.
