Symptom burden correlates to impairment of diffusion capacity and exercise intolerance in long COVID patients

Johannes Kersten et al.

Summary: Patients with long COVID experience pathological changes in various organ systems after acute infection, and the symptom burden is correlated with initial disease severity. Women are more likely to have severe symptoms, and symptom severity is associated with reduced exercise tolerance and impaired lung function.

Exercise Training in Post-COVID-19 Patients: The Need for a Multifactorial Protocol for a Multifactorial Pathophysiology

Gaia Cattadori et al.

Summary: Rehabilitation centers have become major players in the battle against COVID-19, as many patients continue to suffer from long-COVID-19 syndrome. Exercise training has beneficial effects on the immune system and inflammation, leading the authors to propose a post-COVID-19 patient exercise protocol that combines multiple recommended exercise training regimens.

18F-FDG brain PET hypometabolism in patients with long COVID

E. Guedj et al.

Summary: In long COVID patients, brain PET scans showed significant hypometabolism in areas including bilateral rectal/orbital gyrus, temporal lobe, brainstem, and cerebellum. These metabolic abnormalities were associated with more functional complaints such as hyposmia/anosmia, memory/cognitive impairment, pain, and insomnia. The study suggests a potential biomarker value in identifying and monitoring long COVID patients, with implications for the impact of ACE drugs and nasal decongestant spray on brain metabolism.

Chaolin Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in the Assessment of Dysfunctional Breathing

Maria F. Ionescu et al.

Summary: Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is a condition that affects individuals in various situations, including athletes, and can be diagnosed and managed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Proper recognition of DB is important for treatment and can lead to significant benefits for individuals.

Persistent Brainstem Dysfunction in Long-COVID: A Hypothesis

Shin Jie Yong

Summary: Long-COVID is a postviral illness that can affect survivors of COVID-19, potentially caused by long-term tissue damage, viral persistence, and dysfunction of the brainstem. The brainstem plays a crucial role in manifesting symptoms, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological functions, thus potentially linking it to long-COVID.

Thorsten Rudroff et al.

Summary: Scientific evidence on the subacute and long-term effects of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is increasing. The infection is systemic and involves multiple organs, leading to diverse complications and long-term consequences. While a significant proportion of patients experience neurological manifestations, the exact brain and skeletal muscle changes from SARS-CoV-2 infection remain largely unknown.

Incidence, co-occurrence, and evolution of long-COVID features: A 6-month retrospective cohort study of 273,618 survivors of COVID-19

Maxime Taquet et al.

Summary: This study investigated the incidence and co-occurrence of long-COVID features in COVID-19 survivors, with comparisons to influenza patients, using electronic health records data. The findings showed that long-COVID clinical features were more commonly reported after COVID-19 infection, and differences were associated with sex, age, and illness severity.

Myopathic changes in patients with long-term fatigue after COVID-19

Summary: The study found that long-term COVID-19 does not cause large fiber neuropathy, but myopathic changes are observed in patients. Myopathy may be an important cause of physical fatigue in long-term COVID-19 patients, even in those who were not hospitalized.

Summary: The long-term effects of covid-19 can affect multiple systems in the body, leading to persistent symptoms that impact patients of varying severity. These symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, and cognitive impairment, among others. Studies discuss risk factors for acute and long covid, as well as potential therapeutic options.

Long COVID or Post-acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): An Overview of Biological Factors That May Contribute to Persistent Symptoms

Amy D. Proal et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to a pandemic of COVID-19, with some patients developing persistent symptoms known as Long COVID or PASC. These patients may have different underlying biological factors driving their symptoms, such as organ damage, persistent viral reservoirs, re-activation of pathogens, and immune dysregulation. Therapeutic approaches may need to be individualized to effectively manage care for specific patients with PASC.

Mark Philip Cassar et al.

Summary: The study found that cardiopulmonary abnormalities in patients infected with COVID-19 improve over time, but some measures remain abnormal compared to controls. Persistent symptoms at 6 months post-COVID-19 were not significantly associated with objective cardiopulmonary health measures, indicating a complex relationship between symptoms and physiological abnormalities.

Exercise performance in patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to patients with unexplained dyspnea

George A. Alba et al.

Summary: In a retrospective cohort study comparing patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) to age-and sex-matched patients with unexplained dyspnea, it was found that physiological abnormalities on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) were mild in PASC patients. Despite prominent dyspnea, CPET findings were similar to those of patients referred for dyspnea without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.
