Autopsies of people who died from COVID19 show that the virus spread throughout the body and remained in tissue for months. The study broadened scientists’ perspectives on where SARS-CoV-2 could cause infection and persist, including the brain.

AI listens to toilet sounds to guess whether people have diarrhoea
An artificial intelligence that can detect diarrhoea with 98 per cent accuracy from recordings of toilet sounds could help track outbreaks of diseases, such as cholera
Immune amnesia induced by measles and its effects on concurrent epidemics
It has been recently discovered that the measles virus can damage pre-existing immunological memory, destroying B lymphocytes and reducing the diversity of non-specific B cells of the infected host. In particular, this implies that previously acquired immunization from vaccination or direct expositi …
Zero Covid also means zero engagement with the outside world and zero progress for China.
Why certain patients with COVID19 developed increased susceptibility to Invasive fungal disease?
➡️ It’s because of specific dysregulation of immune system through functional exhaustion of Natural killer (NK) cells and T cells.
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a huge strain on global healthcare and been a significant cause of increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in at-risk populations. This disease attacks the respiratory systems and causes significant immune dysregulation in affected patients creating a perfect opportunity for the development of invasive fungal disease (IFD). COVID-19 infection can instill a significant, poorly regulated pro-inflammatory response. Clinically induced immunosuppression or pro-inflammatory damage to mucosa facilitate the development of IFD and Aspergillus, Mucorales, and Candida infections have been regularly reported throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Corticosteroids and immune modulators are used in the treatment of COVID-19. Corticosteroid use is also a risk factor for IFD, but not the only reason for IFD in COVID -19 patients. Specific dysregulation of the immune system through functional exhaustion of Natural killer (NK) cells and T cells has been observed in COVID-19 through the expression of the exhaustion markers NK-G2A and PD-1. Reduced fungicidal activity of neutrophils from COVID-19 patients indicates that immune dysfunction/imbalance are important risk factors for IFD. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the at-risk population for IFD. Even if the incidence of IFD is relatively low, the size of this new at-risk population will result in a substantial increase in the overall, annual number of IFD cases. It is important to understa...
"According to a recent study, Stanford researchers found that the Covid-19 pandemic has been “particularly difficult” for adolescents after more than two years of social isolation during school closures, restrictions and poor access to mental healthcare services.
Based on MRI scans of 163 children taken before and after the pandemic, the team observed that the ageing process of their brains accelerated and altered their brain structure far earlier than usual."
