Start cholesterol tests in childhood, new guidelines say. The idea is to control bad cholesterol early in life. Additional tests are also recommended to provide a clearer picture of risk. sciencenews.org/article/choles…

Il riscaldamento globale sta causando l’innalzamento del livello del mare che insieme ai movimenti geologici come la subsidenza, sta facendo arretrare le linee di costa. Di conseguenza, cambiano le stime sulla pericolosità e il rischio di maremoti ➡️ buff.ly/f6rbt7i

Esta cepa (BA.3.2) es genéticamente distinta de los linajes JN.1 (incluidos LP.8.1 y XFG) que han circulado en EE. UU. desde enero de 2024. Esto significa que las infecciones recientes y la vacunación podrían no ser tan protectoras como antes. Use protección respiratoria.

Cheap, basic consumer air filters put into classrooms reduced the spread of COVID and other illness by 83% in studies both in the U.S. and Italy. There is ZERO REASON not to improve air infrastructure. It's as obvious a need as access to clean water.

Incident Heart Failure Risk Following COVID-19 Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis 😡There we go AGAIN: COVID-19 recovery independently elevates the long-term risk of new-onset heart failure by 35%, underscoring a persistent cardiovascular burden that demands targeted post-infection monitoring. ➡️Study conclusions for all those backbenchers: 1. “The data synthesized from this cohort of over 400,000 survivors suggests that the cardiovascular impact of SARS-CoV-2 extends far beyond the acute phase of infection.” 2. “Our finding of a 35% increased risk for incident heart failure highlights an emerging chronic disease burden.” 3. “While the risk is notable across age groups, the heightened vulnerability observed in younger adults and the profound risk faced by immunocompromised patients, such as kidney transplant recipients, warrant particular clinical attention.” 4. “Rather than universal screening, our findings suggest that targeted, structured cardiovascular monitoring may be considered as part of post-viral care for at least one year, particularly for high-risk subgroups.” 5. "The monitoring could potentially incorporate clinical assessment alongside validated biomarker screening, notably N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for the detection of ventricular wall stress and high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin (hs-cTn) to monitor for ongoing subclinical myocardial injury.”( + ECG!) 6. “Implementing these gold-standard markers can facilitate the early identification of patients in the ‘pre-heart failure’ stage (Stage B), allowing for timely pharmacological intervention.” 7. “Addressing these potential sequelae through personalized follow-up is important for managing the long-term cardiovascular health of survivors in a post-pandemic landscape.” ➡️Two remarks: - Vaccination (specifically ≥4 doses, Singapore cohort study) is referenced only once as potentially eliminating the excess heart failure risk.🤔 - Reinfections are not discussed at all. ‼️Although the study advocates targeted surveillance, the persistent 35% heightened risk of incident heart failure supports, IMHO, implementing at least two universal cardiovascular check-ups for all COVID-19 survivors: one immediately post-recovery and another after three months. #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections #YouOnlyHaveOneHeart mdpi.com/2077-0383/15/7…

Brain structural and functional damage network localization of COVID-19 survivors 🚨Very interesting Chinees research study findings: COVID-19 damages your core brain networks! ➡️COVID-19 leaves measurable, coordinated damage in the brain's core networks for thinking, memory, emotion, and smell, damage that persists in survivors and helps explain the lasting "brain fog," mood disorders, and cognitive complaints reported long after infection. ➡️While not universal or necessarily severe in every case, the evidence indicates the SarsCoV2 (or its aftermath) can disrupt fundamental brain circuitry in an important subset of people. ‼️Subsequently, “Brain fog” constitutes real neurological damage, BRAIN DAMAGE, not just some kind of subjective complaint!!!!! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections frontiersin.org/journals/neuro…

Global Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Ural Lineage TB. The Ural lineage 4.2 has recently drawn scientific scrutiny due to its remarkable ability to evade multidrug regimens, often outperforming other lineages in terms of transmission and resistance. T bioengineer.org/global-spread-…

“Accepting “C19”(airborne transmission) commonly causes damage to our brains, often the frontal lobes, but not accepting that it can cause personality changes would almost be an indication that some of us have already lost the ability to think critically.” infectioncontroltoday.com/view/understan…

UK: One in eight parents now reports their child is disabled "The number of children with a long-term disability or impairment has almost doubled in a decade" telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

BA.3.2* likely still dominant in UK & kids' A&E visits still experiencing (minor) peak, consistent with now-consensus data that majority of BA.3.2* sequences (mostly from HOSPITAL swabs these days) are from CHILDREN. i.e. severe acute illness disproportionately focused in kids.

Survivors’ dysfunctional network Brain network alterations observed in COVID-19 survivors spread across a range of different regions. Affected areas encompassed the bilateral temporal cortex (superior and middle temporal gyrus), medial prefrontal cortex, olfactory gyrus, hippocampus, uncus, subcortical structures (putamen, pallidum, thalamus). When mapped onto canonical networks, the survivors’ dysfunctional network was strongly linked to DMN (overlapping proportion: 29.78%), limbic network (11.91%)

Yikes. Catching Covid while you're pregnant is a really bad idea.

@le_Parisien ✨Les français abusent des arrêts maladie✨ La réalité, c'est que gouvernements et entreprises nous exposent à un risque de séquelles (1 infection sur 10) causées par le Covid qui circule toute l'année depuis 6 ans, en France comme ailleurs 👇 x.com/Themislv_vls/s…
