After a long wait, our longitudinal long COVID study is finally published in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We find a skeletal muscle alterations in patients with #longcovid , which worsen with exercise. 1/n
Love to hear your take on my perspectives of the ever changing landscape of #longcovid from a #rheumtology perspective Mike Putman Putrino Lab Resia Pretorius zeynep tufekci Michael Peluso, MD
COVID-19, long COVID and the rheumatologist with Leonard Calabrese, DO healio.com/news/rheumatol…
Absolutely, Putrino Lab. CBT and GET for post-viral diseases like LongCOVID and ME/CFS should be seen as malpractice. In time, the psychosocial label and those driving that agenda will also be proven wrong.
I see much debate about global burden of #LongCovid : lower estimate 65M, upper, 100s of millions. Answer: in many countries people are suffering but nobody's counting so we can only guess. The higher estimate came from us nature.com/articles/s4157…. Logic explained here 1/2:
I visited Resia Pretorius last month & saw the microclots in those with #LongCovid
The marker bar bottom R is 10um, a red cell 8um, so the big green microclot has to squeeze through capillaries. Exercise as 'a way through' is completely inappropriate & dangerous. 😡

One fine day Christoph Ströck, one fine day. May researchers convince the establishment that there are diagnostic methods and treatments available. We cannot cling to old theories taught in med school. We need clinicians like Dr Graham Lloyd-Jones Jordan F Vaughn MD David Joffe PhD, FRACP 🇦🇺
This is extremely well done. Worth watching; 30 minute documentary which delves into the microclot story with an excellent explanation of the known science.

I would be careful to inject platelet rich plasma into nasal cavities. The patient’s own platelets may be significantly inflammatory and even harbour viral components.The patient’s own plasma may contain microclots that carry a significant inflammatory and antibody load Prof Doug Kell CBE #FBPE #FBPA🔶🇪🇺
Excited to share the LongCOVID documentary by Emma Keeling

Many suggest that #COVID19 is over, but covid hospitalisation is on the rise; we are sadly going to see new #LongCovid patients.This is not a cold! youtube.com/watch?v=biuo_t…
