#clots — Public Fediverse posts

Study out last month - risk of blood clots from a COVID infection are far higher than blood clots from the (first dose of the) AstraZeneca COVID vaccine. After infection w/ COVID-19, risk of a blood clot climbs to 30 times in the first week!
The only COVID vaccine with (comparatively very low) blood clot risk was the *first dose* - only from AstaZeneca.

Chertow’s research has already encouraged experimental use of antiviral medications such as Pfizer Inc.’s #Paxlovid to see if it can root out viral reservoirs and alleviate long-haul symptoms.

Even a relatively small number of infected cells could provoke the immune system to produce #inflammation, blood #clots and other problems associated with long #Covid, according to Amy Proal, co-founder of PolyBio Research Foundation, a non-profit in Boston that facilitates research into chronic, infection-associated conditions.

It’s “the most logical explanation because it accounts for pretty much everything else,” she said.

#Scanning #Hideouts

Henrich, who helped develop sophisticated imaging techniques that can pinpoint HIV within tissues, plans to use the same approach to find Covid’s hideouts.

Dozens of patients will undergo a series of whole-body scans that will look for signals of production or persistence of viral protein.

Those will be compared with symptoms to see how the lingering presence of the coronavirus correlates to long Covid.

The group has started scanning patients to look for protective T-cells that could indicate an #aberrant #immune #response to SARS-CoV-2. They’re examining biopsies of participants’ digestive tracts for viral vestiges, Henrich said.

New study shows Erythritol encourages blood clots to form, its consumption increases risk of heart attack, stroke.

Always interesting to see a ‘rudimentary’ change such as the shape of a transducer to make such a significant improvement in functionality and treatment.

Breakthrough device uses ultrasound ‘tornado’ to destroy blood clots

Researchers have developed a new tool and technique that uses “#vortex #ultrasound” – a sort of ultrasonic tornado – to break down blood #clots in the #brain.

This HEAL study
📍Micro-clots remain a leading theory as to why millions suffer #LongCovid
📍These excellent investigators were not testing that theory but rather the idea that preventing overt clotting might help
📍This study did not aim to test neuro cognitive benefits of anticoagulants.

More on #covid and #clots. I think this is the heart of most #postCOVID issues, along with #immuneimpairment and #viralreservoir.

#COVID doubles your risk of #lung #clots.

#LongCovid peeps, a question .... for those who have been treated with anticoagulant therapy for #clots, how long were you kept on medication?? Second Covid infection 6 weeks back and raised D-dimer yesterday 😱 Thank goodness for a GP who was insistent I got checked out a hospital, despite me trying to convince myself (and him) otherwise 😬

If you have to get it, exercise before and after. DO NOT rest if tired after the shot
