Immunologist and Head of Department of CIMM at the Amsterdam UMC, Netherlands. My team studies the role of antibodies during infection and autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS), such as Long-COVID and ME/CFS.
The good news is that vestibular asthenopia (tired and painful eyes, difficulty “scrolling” on screens) can also be fixed, by specialized vestibulo-visual rehabilitation. Which involves a rotating chair and weird 3D patterns…: 8/10

The treatment was remarkably simple: placing a ventilation tube, to counteract the movement of the eardrum. After 6 months, the dizziness instantly disappeared. 6/10

The eustachian tube is a connection between your nose and ear. It is typically closed, and only opens briefly to equalize pressure (e.g. when you’re flying). But sometimes it stays open: a patulous eustachian tube. 4/10

And finally, all the great people I’ve met at this great conference, including @scheibenbogen.bsky.social @putrinolab.bsky.social, Rob Wust, @tronstadlab.bsky.social, Chris Puta, David Systrom, Yehuda Shoenfeld, Oystein Fluge, Alan Cash, and so many more. Let's crack this puzzle 😊. 7/7

Fifth, poster prize winner and young talent Anouck Slaghekke (team Rob Wust), showing microvascular dysfunction and basal membrane thickening in skeletal muscle, in both ME/CFS and Long-COVID. 6/7

Fourth, Alan Cash showing data that oxaloacetate can improve symptoms in a subset of ME/CFS patients. Yet keep in mind that even though it’s a supplement, the advice is to use this under medical supervision. 5/7

Third, the very promising data from Oystein Fluge, who showed pilot data with daratumumab (anti-CD38, depleting plasma cells), which improved symptoms in 6/10 ME/CFS patients. Really looking forward to the follow-up study! 4/7

Second, Franziska Sotzny showing data on molecular mimicry, with patients expressing antibodies against EBV that also recognize human proteins, particularly those expressed in the brain. 3/7

It was such a pleasure to have @resiapretorius.bsky.social over @amsterdamumc.bsky.social! Happy to see the #microclots assays worked right away 😀. We can now screen and select #LongCovid patients, to see whether we can also detect microclots using total body PET scan (powered by #ZonMw).
