1) 🇩🇪 Researchers from Munich tested microcirculation in the eyes of Long Covid patients.
They weren't interested in eyesight, but used the eye to study circulation and endothelial function in the brain. They call it a "accessible surrogate of cerebral microvascular function"

Samuel died yesterday, by his choice. Here in the European #MECFScommunity, MAiD is available and used. Actual specialized medical care and treatments would have served this young person far better. He left the world on his 22nd birthday. Rest peacefully, Samuel. 🕯️

“We found that 7.2% of children and young people consistently meet the 'Long COVID' research definition at 3-, 6-, 12- and 24- months post-infection. These children and young people reported around 5-to-6 symptoms at each time-point.”

Right, lament the lack of college prep, academic skills building, and social development, while ignoring the fact that at least 7% of all college students now have Long COVID because universities want to pretend that everything is back to normal.
The pandemic's hidden damage is showing up on college campuses
Experts warn the effects could linger for years.

1) Todd Davenport and his colleagues from the Workwell foundation published new data on 2-day exercise testing in patients with Long Covid.
These showed reductions in workload and VO2 max on the second test, similar to ME/CFS patients.

Baylor College of Medicine studied 20 pregnancies and found that SARS-CoV-2 triggers ferroptosis in the placenta, an iron-dependent cell death that helps block the virus but may also reduce iron transfer to the fetus, raising anemia risks.

Case Western researchers show that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, once thought to stay inside infected cells, actually reaches the cell surface using a ceramide-based secretory pathway, making it an unexpected immune target.

A review of over 160,000 US adults finds about 7.2% develop IBS after COVID-19, with 2.6 times higher odds than non-infected people.
Risk is highest with GI symptoms, depression, and lingering illness, pointing to a gut-brain pathway.
