PURPOSE\nAlthough the findings of acute new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) have recently been defined, the long-term changes in lung perfusion associated with COVID-19 pneumonia have not yet been clarified. We aimed to...
COVID-19 patients can suffer long-term lung and heart damage but, for many, this tends to improve over time, according to the first, prospective follow-up of patients infected with the coronavirus, presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.[1] Researchers in the...
The first step towards activating these regenerative cells is to prime the tissue environment withmesenchymal stem cells. These cells do not normally reside in the lung, but when transplanted there, they secretegrowth factorsthat support the growth and differentiation of the lung epithelial stem and ...

COVID-19 can cause permanent lung damage with higher risk of long-term complications (chronic inflammation has been considered as the main cause of pulmonary fibrosis and may lead to epithelial damage and fibroblast activation).26 This review aims to provide information on the impact of the CO...
Lung injuries were almost 14 times higher among long COVID patients, while abnormal findings involving the brain and kidneys were three and two times higher respectively. How badly the organs were affected was often due to the severity of their infection, their age and other diseases in the...
We previously described the early psychological and functional sequelae of Covid-19 infection 4 months after hospital discharge in a prospective cohort of 238 patients13. In this prospective observational study, we describe the long-term functional impairment of respiratory, motor, psychological and ...
People who ended up in the hospital are more likely to experience a long-term recovery, he explains, because they likely “also have very severe lung injury that has to heal over time.” There are no set-in-stone predictive factors for who might experience a long recovery, but people who...
After infection with SARS-CoV-2, where does the immune system store the memory to provide long-term protection against reinfection? Though numerous studies have examined blood to track immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, a new study of COVID survivors shows that thememoryof the infection is primari...
Rachel Pope, the historian, is from the British city of Liverpool. She posted on Twitter about her symptoms in late March 2020, after a coronavirus infection. A few months later, in Italy, Elisa Perego tweeted about her sickness also...
