Abstract Post-acute infection syndromes may develop after acute viral disease 1 . Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in the development of a post-acute syndrome known as long COVID. Individuals COVID frequently report unremitting fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and variety cognitive autonomic dysfunctions 2–4 However, biological processes that are associated persistence these symptoms unclear. Here 275 individuals or without were enrolled cross-sectional study included multidimensional...

COVID survivors frequently experience lingering neurological symptoms that resemble cancer-therapy-related cognitive impairment, a syndrome for which white matter microglial reactivity and consequent neural dysregulation is central. Here, we explored the neurobiological effects of respiratory SARS-CoV-2 infection found white-matter-selective in mice humans. Following mild mice, persistently impaired hippocampal neurogenesis, decreased oligodendrocytes, myelin loss were evident together with...

Survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection frequently experience lingering neurological symptoms, including impairment in attention, concentration, speed information processing and memory. This long-COVID cognitive syndrome shares many features with the cancer therapy-related (CRCI). Neuroinflammation, particularly microglial reactivity consequent dysregulation hippocampal neurogenesis oligodendrocyte lineage cells, is central to CRCI. We hypothesized...

Summary Strong sex differences in the frequencies and manifestations of Long COVID (LC) have been reported with females significantly more likely than males to present LC after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection 1–7 . However, whether immunological traits underlying differ between sexes, such explain differential symptomology is currently unknown. Here, we performed sex-based multi-dimensional immune-endocrine profiling 165 individuals 8 without an exploratory, cross-sectional study identify key...

Acute SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers the generation of diverse and functional autoantibodies (AABs), even after mild cases. Persistently elevated have been found in some individuals with long COVID (LC). Using a >21,000 human protein array, we identified AAB targets LC patients that correlated their symptoms.

Abstract Objective The Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) is commonly used assessment in (NP) trials, yet a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) has not been established. A MCID would enhance the interpretability of NPSI scores, guiding clinicians and researchers assessing clinically important improvements NP symptoms. aim this study was to calculate an from available scientific research that NPSI.

COVID-19 vaccines have prevented millions of deaths. Yet, a small fraction the population reports chronic debilitating condition after vaccination, often referred to as post- vaccination syndrome (PVS). To explore potential pathobiological features associated with PVS, we conducted decentralized, cross-sectional study involving 42 PVS participants and 22 healthy controls enrolled in Yale LISTEN study. Compared controls, exhibited differences immune profiles, including reduced circulating...

Introduction Long COVID involves debilitating symptoms, many of which mirror those observed with dysautonomia, and care must be taken rehabilitation for autonomic dysfunction to avoid post-exertional malaise/post-exertional symptom exacerbation. Resonant breathing (breathing slowly at a defined rate breaths per minute) requires less exertion can potentially improve function. The objective this work was report on the impact resonant program self-reported symptoms wellbeing in people COVID....
