The erasure of infection-associated chronic conditions: Critical interpretive synthesis of literature on healthcare for long COVID and related conditions in Brazil
Evidence is emerging that long COVID is at least as prevalent in the Global South as the Global North, but literature on long COVID healthcare in the Global South is in its infancy. Brazil is seein...

NICE for Europeans, and shows how neoliberal UK discourse is. BBC R4 was calling him "radical left wing" - like, we have great bus services in London. And some help with childcare, though a lot more would be a lot better.

Radical, extreme left, socialist??

Good luck to Anita, but BBC reporting here that there is no international definition or agreed common symptoms is just wrong and perpetuates doubt and myths.
There is a WHO definition, and widely agreed pattern of common symptoms.

Super interesting reflection on the dominance of the IMRaD form. In the world of LLM-generated text I've been mulling on the role of writing and reading as transformative practices. Writing itself can perform advancements in thinking (not just convey new facts).
🗃️"these pressures to produce efficient and risk averse research compliment a standardised and unsurprising style of writing fostered by IMRaD."

If we want better academic writing, we should rethink IMRaD - Impact of Social Sciences
The IMRaD format may make research writing more efficient, but does this come at the cost of clarity and novelty?

Yet another way that the poor clinical understanding of symptoms of long covid produces discrimination and inequalities.
"When patients complain of memory loss or heart palpitations or an inability to exercise, their doctors are more likely to blame it on aging & downplay their symptoms...- 'The diagnosis is harder for this age group to receive because there’s ageism at play'":

Can some of us agree that we must not treat LLMs as replacements for real, breathing, feeling, located, relational, caring, uncaring, difficult, annoying, inefficient people?
So now they're developing AI-simulated patient & public involvement/engagement (PPIE) panels and claiming it will ensure 'more inclusive' and 'diverse' patient involvement (by simulating lived experience of those harder to recruit to panels).
