Prof Taylor & Dr Latella's initial findings reported at the ANS conference in December suggest that impaired motoneuron behaviour could contribute to muscle weakness in #MECFS, and the team now plans to explore the mechanisms causing this. https://meres.uk/taylor064

Start your own Internet Resiliency Club

Thanks to war, geopolitics, and climate change, Europe will have more frequent and more severe internet disruptions in the very near future. Governments and businesses need to prepare for catastrophic loss of communications. Unfortunately, the necessary changes are risky and expensive, which means they won’t do it until a crisis is already here. However, small groups of volunteers with a little bit of time and money can provide crucial initial leadership to bootstrap recovery.

An Internet Resiliency Club is a group of internet experts who can communicate with each other across a few kilometers without any centralized infrastructure using cheap, low-power, unlicensed LoRa radios and open source Meshtastic text messaging software. These volunteer groups can use their radios, technical skills, and personal connections with other experts to restore internet connectivity.

🇮🇳 India: Rising cases of COVID-19 bring to fore associated threat of deep vein thrombosis.

The spike in cases has renewed concerns over health risks like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can occur during and after infection, with risk staying elevated up to 70 days post-COVID.

“This link comes from the virus’s ability to cause a strong inflammatory reaction, often called a cytokine storm, which can disrupt the usual way blood clots. Research has found that patients, particularly those in the hospital with severe COVID-19, have a hypercoagulable state, meaning their blood is more likely to clot. The virus also directly harms the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, which further increases the risk of clots forming,’’ said Dr. Bhat. He added that recent research indicates that even after recovery, individuals who had COVID-19 may remain at an elevated risk for thrombotic events for several months."
