NEUROCOVID in LONG COVID - What it is and how to treat it

Description

Long COVID, refers collectively to the constellation of long-term symptoms that some people experience after SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is estimated that 10–20% develop a variety of mid- and long-term effects, those include fatigue, breathlessness, and cognitive dysfunction (for example, confusion, forgetfulness, or a lack of mental focus and clarity). Overall, 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. (7.5%) have “long COVID” symptoms, defined as symptoms lasting three or more months after first contracting the virus, and that they didn’t have prior to their COVID-19 infection. Long COVID can also directly and indirectly affect mental health. Prolonged suffering and distress due to long COVID can impact psychological well-being. These symptoms might persist from the initial illness or develop after recovery (12 weeks after initial infection). Symptoms can come and go or relapse over time, indicating that Long COVID partially is driven by viral persistence. The condition can affect a person’s ability to perform daily activities such as work or household things. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) research shows that nearly 145 million people around the world in the first two years of the pandemic suffered from any of the three symptom clusters of long COVID: fatigue with bodily pain and mood swings, cognitive problems, and shortness of breath.

In this lecture you will learn how virus infects brain , what damage it potentially can cause, how to restore neuronal damage if it has occurred. Due to dysautonomia is linked to Neuro COVID, you will learn on main mechanisms how this is happening and what symptoms you may experience with this.

Despite there are many mechanisms at play, you will learn how to treat this condition. Important is to understand how it infects neurons, understand that it can hide and then appear again, something that is called as persistence.

Please sign up to this short lecture to learn more on NeuroCOVID, especially if you have somebody who struggles with this disease.
