SARS-CoV-2 is a systemic virus that affects the whole body, but mounting evidence shows that the brain is the organ most consistently affected in the short and long term. Letting this virus roam may prove extremely expensive for our societies. New important study out in Nature ⬇️

The brain injury 1 year post-Covid hospitalization, systematically assessed with MRI (reduced grey matter), biomarkers, and cognitive deficits "equivalent in magnitude to aging from 50 to 70 years of age." nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatureMedicine @gkwood3 @BenedictNeuro @_brendan95 and colleagues Findings in 351 cases and 2,297 matched controls point to immune-mediated basis

I agree. The implications of this study are extremely concerning.

The COVID generation: the neurodevelopmental consequences of in-utero COVID-19 exposure 😡A USA study that really frightens me! In-utero COVID-19 exposure associates with early brain alterations and toddler developmental delays, warranting long-term monitoring of these children. ➡️They conducted a prospective longitudinal study with 142 mother-baby dyads(mother-infant pairs): 39 exposed to COVID-19 in utero (2020–2022) vs. 103 pre-pandemic controls (2016–2019). ➡️Neonatal brain imaging used quantitative 3D volumetric MRI (2 weeks corrected age). ➡️Toddler assessments (2 years) included Bayley Scales (BSID-III) for cognition/social-emotion and ITSEA for behaviours. ➡️Exposure linked to reduced neonatal brain volumes in cortical/subcortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, and left hippocampus (all significant after FDR correction). ➡️At age 2, exposed toddlers showed lower cognition and social-emotional scores (BSID-III), plus higher internalizing behaviours (ITSEA). ➡️Reduced cortical gray matter partially explained lower cognition (21.9%); lower cognition mediated increased internalizing behaviours (61.0%). ➡️Conclusion: 1. “Children exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in utero display lower cognitive abilities than children who had not been exposed, mediated in part by the neonatal cortical gray matter volumes.” 2. “Cognitive ability in toddlers also mediated the association between in utero SARS-CoV-2 exposure and their early social-emotional development.” 3. “These findings highlight the need for continued surveillance to best identify and provide early interventions for at-risk children and provide new insights regarding prenatal exposures on early fetal programming." 4. “Further studies into the longitudinal effects of this exposure are currently ongoing.” So, frightening and making me angry: In-utero exposure to COVID-19 is associated with reduced neonatal brain volumes and persistent neurodevelopmental delays in cognition and social-emotional functioning by age 2. ‼️Please mothers, get vaccinated and AVOID sarscov2! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@s_jakke @Prebens Ah. Så artikkelen @Prebens delte, var kanskje ikke engang fact-checked. Det er noe med det å lete etter "sannheter" i SoMe, som er skummelt. Det er stadig mindre av innholdet man kommer over som ikke er fabrikert/forvrengt. X motvirker romslig, inkluderende mangfold - by design.

@GANyborg @Prebens En trangsynt mann som hater mennesker som skiller seg ut, det være seg folk som bruker masker, transpersoner osv. Det som er virkelig trist, er å bruke lørdagskvelden til å spre feilinformasjon, til en retweet fra trofaste Bjella, og en fra seg selv. x.com/i/status/20025…

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda. For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Interessant (og litt trist) sak om dem som fortsatt er livredde for koronaviruset, bruker munnbind heile tida og unngår andre mennesker. Snart på sjette året. archive.ph/SixUb

@SomedudeDavid @Prebens For ikke å glemme den engstelse og forvirring som kan skapes i befolkningen når helsemyndigheter unnlater å anerkjenne etablert vitenskap, og unnlater å formidle sannferdig info om eller sette i gang hensiktsmessige tiltak for å beskytte folk mot langtidsskader etter covid-19.

@GANyborg @Prebens Att människor känner en rädsla för coronaviruset som inte står i proportion till den risk som datan faktiskt visar ÄR trist, eftersom det får påtagligt negativa konsekvenser för deras livskvalitet. De som med sin alarmism drev på denna rädsla bär ansvaret för detta.

@legeforeningen @nkklev Eller at folk med genetiske varianter innenfor FOXP4, et gen som uttrykkes i lungene og er forbundet med alvorlig Covid-19, har økt risiko for å utvikle PCC? På kurset presenterer vi også det siste fra forskningsfronten om årsaker til denne komplekse og spennende tilstanden./

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
