This week, we share articles about the struggles of professional athlete Jared Walsh as he copes with neurological issues, ongoing research on Long Covid after the public health emergency ends, the link between Covid-19 and a proinflammatory protein, vision impairment in survivors of Covid-19, and distinguishing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome cases using proteomics and cytokine analyses. Stay informed and up-to-date with our newsletter.
A searchable research database would be amazing! It would be so helpful for individuals, as well as advocacy groups and researchers. Also...a lot of work! 😳
I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange
The article is titled
We breathe air not oxygen
I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement
Including how oxygen is manufactured
How oxygen is calibrated
Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination
Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli
Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity
Can you see the problem?
The new take on lung physiology:
The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds
RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac
The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture
There is also this library out there: https://www.zotero.org/groups/4839798/long_covid_research/library
Definite yes on the searchable database!
This is just so incredibly helpful to have these summaries. Thanks for doing this.
Yes, please on the searchable database for long-covid research. I have the same frustrations you mention when trying to research LC topics.

Hi, thank you again for this valuable update! A searchable resource would be fantastic. Perhaps by topic as well as date? Again, THANK YOU.
Searchable resource is a fantastic idea - much-needed for both advocates and researchers!
Amy, a big thank you for that link. That is a well-organized collection of articles!
