Thank you @thewhn.bsky.social, for giving me the best mentors in #LongCovid research!
@resiapretorius.bsky.social is one of them, and everyone should follow her pioneer work in LC and blood clots! Thank you for the microscopy tips!♥️🔬

San Francisco researchers show that 150 kHz ultrasound shatters amyloid microclots linked to Long COVID.
Adding microbubbles and rtPA boosts the effect, suggesting a noninvasive therapy to restore blood flow and ease chronic symptoms.

It causes microclots, neuroinflammation, and neuron death.

Can lumbrokinase break down microclots found in the blood of participants with long COVID and/or ME/CFS? Past studies have shown that the formation of microclots in the blood may contribute to overall symptom severity in these patients. We're working to learn more!

COVID-19 can trigger life-threatening clotting conditions, including pulmonary embolisms (PE). This week at The Sick Times, Anna Wenner writes about how medical gaslighting contributed to long-term lung damage when she went to the ER with a PE after being infected with SARS-CoV-2. bit.ly/44JkULK

Microclots and neutrophil extracellular traps merge to form structures that may contribute to thrombosis and atherosclerosis in patients with long Covid. While this research is in its early days, it may pinpoint not only a diagnosis of long Covid but potentially a therapeutic target.
