Eine Studie des Uniklinikums Halle zeigt offenbar erstmals Schlüsselmoleküle zur Entstehung des Long Covid Syndroms. Im Kern geht es um Makrophagen, Monozyten und deren Ausschüttung von Immunfaktoren als Botenstoffe zur Steuerung der Immunreaktion:

1/4 If you read one #depression #biomarker paper this year, read this one by Nils & the gang. They looked at a large sample of depressed and healthy participants, investigating numerous features (neuro, genetics, etc) in 2.4 million #MachineLearing models.
2/4 I'm not surprised by the results: depression is not a unitary, biological disease entity. It is a label that was historically developed for clinical utility: it is a heuristic superimposed on a complex landscape of mental health problems people experience.
3/4 The label has strenghts (and I believe labels can be helpful), but of course biological investigations into labels such as depression will have limited success.
This view is summarized in 2 recent papers:

Made it to #LAX on @SouthwestAir (thanks to iPads and @angrybirds). So many questions. Reminds me how much we don’t do with Tony because of #SYNGAP1. He’s sporting his @GlobalGenes backpack & @cureSYNGAP1 shirt.
SynGAPians are photosensitive so must remember 🕶. And they don’t really 😓 Sweat. So I brought a cooling vest. Didn’t think I’d need it to get to Lyft. I was wrong. He’s already done.

Es folgt ein wichtiger Thread zu #laborwerten bei #LongCovid
Es erreichen mich immer wieder auffällige Laborbefunde wie dieser! Liebe #ärzte, ein sehr auffälliger #biomarker ist oft die #dysregulation des Immunsystems was sich im #th1th2shift zeigt! 🧵

Natürlich ist dies KEINE Kassenleistung und mal wieder von Betroffenen selbst zu zahlen!! Diese Auffälligkeiten sind also NICHT Teil eines klassischen Blutbildes! Bitte weist die Patienten auf diese Werte hin 🙏🙏🙏
Ich selbst habe unzählige Telefonate mit #laboren geführt und sie zum #vegf im Falle bei #longcovid informiert! Ebenso wie der #Rantes-Wert (auch unter CCL5 bekannt), steht dieser für eine #endothelentzündung! Andere Immunzellen werden durch dieses Zytokin alarmiert!

2/9 It was an old man, around 75. After I have told him about everything, he asked me what bothered me. "My symptoms" I said. “But there has to be something that burdens you mentally” he answered. The following conversation went something like this:
3/9 "Did you have a bad experience in your childhood?"
- "No"
Did you lose a close family member?"
- "No"
Are your parents divorced?
- “No”
He was desperately trying to find something in my past and I was getting more and more confused.

In short, in its severe stage, it is the worst non-fatal physical disease you can have.
ME/CFS is a severe, physical and complex disease, usually caused by a viral infection. Because so little research has been done on it, scientists are not sure about the
underlying cause yet.
An incorrect response of the immune system to an infection is likely which then, as in a chain reaction, leads to a dysregulation of the immune system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the energy metabolic system and the cardiovascular system.
An incorrect response of the immune system to an infection is likely which then, as in a chain reaction, leads to a dysregulation of the immune system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the energy metabolic system and the cardiovascular system.
The disturbed immune regulation also leads to a sustained T-cell activation and a reduced function of natural killer cells.
Who is prone to develop ME/CFS is also still unclear. There are probably two factors:
-An infection at the time of high physical activity or stress load

I am very excited to share our latest work published in @eLife! We combined #MEG, #fMRI and #MRI for #BrainAge prediction & #biomarker development. Each modality added unique information & enhanced brain-behavior mapping! elifesciences.org/articles/54055 Thread👇
1/ We combined anatomical MRI (surface area, thickness, volume), fMRI-connectivity and MEG (source power, connectivity, alpha-peak, 1/f, latencies) with a stacking approach (1: ridge, 2: random forest). We made sure our model potentially extracts information from missing values.
2/ Is combining multimodal brain data worth the effort for brain age prediction? Compared to anatomical MRI, fMRI and MEG added similar improvements. Combining all modalities yielded to markedly improved prediction performance. MEG and fMRI contributed independent information!
