How COVID-19 can damage the brain 一些患有冠状病毒的人会出现神经症状。科学家们正在努力理解为什么。 作者:迈克·马歇尔 SARS-CoV-2能感染大脑的一些证据来自“器官样细胞”——在培养皿中产生的神经元簇。荣誉:埃里克·杰普森/加州大学圣地亚哥分校 “这个女人在她的房子里见过狮子和猴子。她变得迷失方向,对别...
In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), your COVID-19 pneumonia gets worse quickly, and your body's response can damage your lungs more. The tiny, delicate air sacs (called alveoli) that transfer oxygen to your blood start to fill with gunk. X-rays and CT scans can show large par...
7 Therefore, NPs of COVID-19 could result from microstrokes and neuronal damage, and symptoms consequently differ depending on the brain region involved. Mechanisms of COVID-19 brain damage may resemble those involved in traumatic brain injury, where a combination of proinflammatory status and ...
husband was an impostor. She was in her mid-50s — decades older than the age at which psychosis typically develops — and had no psychiatric history. What she did have, however, was COVID-19. Hers was one of the first known cases of someone developing psychosis after contracting the ...
How does COVID affect the heart? The SARS-CoV-2 virus can directly invade the body causing inflammation. This can impact the heart,causing myocarditis and pericarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle or outer lining of the heart. Inflammation from COVIDcan also causeblood clotting, which can ...
Some people who become ill with the coronavirus develop neurological symptoms. Scientists are struggling to understand why. Some people who become ill with the coronavirus develop neurological symptoms. Scientists are struggling to understand why.
How COVID-19 damages the brain is becoming clearer. New evidence suggests that the coronavirus’s assault on the brain could be multipronged: it might attack certain brain cells directly, reduce blood flow to brain tissue or trigger production of immune molecules that can harm brain cells....
“DNA damage and repair mechanisms foster genomic instability and are related to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative disorders, so understanding why this is happening in COVID-19 patients is important.” Data associated with the impact of COVID on the hear...
Washing your hands is an important part of curbing the spread of COVID-19, but doing it often can break down the natural oils that protect your hands and dry them out. If you notice that your hands are drier than usual, especially if you have a condition like eczema, try using a smal...
Heart failure can develop due to a systemic inflammatory response to the infection, high lung pressures from lung damage, or occur from heart inflammation known as myocarditis. "For many people who present with heart failure in the context of COVID-19infection, we don't know if the heart fai...
