Zugzwang posted:The virus does so much crap in the body, I think it's probably best to think of any of its effects/sequelae (long covid especially) as multifactorial, both in terms of causes and risk factors. So yeah, we might have found the cause, or a major cause, but not the cause of all cases. https://www.cell.com/iscience/fullt...Fshowall%3Dtrue (..) gene network analyses identified eight causal proteins and 141 highly connected hub proteins including 35 with known drug targets. Our findings provide distinctive prognostic biomarkers for two severe COVID-19 outcomes, reveal their relationship to Alzheimer’s disease and coronary artery disease, and identify potential therapeutic targets for COVID-19 outcomes. Several small-scale proteomic studies found that patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 had elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6,17,18 IL-1β17,19,20,21 and TNF.19,21 Proteins associated with neutrophil degranulation have also been shown to be upregulated in COVID-19 patients,22 suggesting that targeting these pathways in conjunction with antiviral medicine may provide an effective treatment for severe cases. Cytokine and immune related pathways Among key immunopathological consequences of severe COVID-19, a cytokine storm, characterized by elevated levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, is shown to be a central feature.23 The proteins identified and replicated for COVID-19 infection were significantly enriched in cytokine signaling in immune system (GO:0034097; FDR = 7.5 × 10−3), including IL-1Ra, IL-21 sR, and CSF-1. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related pathways Central nervous system (CNS) damage can be present early in the course of COVID-19. Several proteins associated with COVID-19 outcomes in this study are part of the AD pathway (disease gene network C0276496; FDR = 1.0 × 10−2 for infection). Proteins that are in this AD pathway and associated with COVID-19 outcomes include APP, NFL, EPHA5, TMEM106B, MAPT, and GFAP among others  Among the 332 COVID-19 cases, 63 individuals died in 36.2 ± 41.2 days after hospital admission. We identified 2,101 proteins (1,215 upregulated and 886 downregulated) associated with death in discovery (Tables S2 and S5). Out of 2,101 proteins, 297 were replicated in the same direction. A total of 253 proteins (235 upregulated and 18 downregulated) were significant at Bonferroni corrected threshold in the combined meta-analysis (Tables S2 and S5; Figure 2). Finally, we found 64 proteins that were consistently associated with all three COVID-19 outcomes (infection, ventilation and death; Figure 1, Table S2). There were 59 proteins consistently upregulated including CSF-1, IL-1Ra, LST1, PKC-Z, TGFB1, BMP10, ANGL4, and vimentin. These proteins were upregulated in COVID-19 patients (compared to healthy controls), upregulated in ventilated patients (compared to those who were not) and also upregulated in individuals who died (compared to those who survived; Figure 1). The remaining 5 proteins, MZF1, Apo A-I, MDC, MLRA and NAGPA, were consistently downregulated in COVID-19 infection status as well as disease severity. To enable other interested researchers to navigate our findings for other COVID-19 related research, we created an interactive web portal (https://covid.proteomics.wustl.edu/). The results for each of three COVID-19 outcomes are presented in a tabular format, from which any user can select a particular protein of interest to examine the boxplot. The volcano plots for each of three outcomes (Figure 2) can be interactively accessed via this portal

My insurance told me I'd have to pay up front for the COVID-19 vaccine and then file a claim to get reimbursed, but CVS didn't charge me so I guess they were able to figure everything out on the backend (for my insurance, anyway). There were only two people waiting before I got there, and after I was done they had a store announcement that the new vaccines were available and they were accepting walk-ins.

I'm still awaiting the shot but I just got checked in at Walgreens, apparently Kaiser insurance is going to cover my COVID shot but not the flu shot. I am not paying $60 for that as you can imagine. Will report back when I get the goods. Edit: I have been SPIKEVAX'd, "your insurance saved you $155.99" so fantastic, love america, I have the access to the tools!* *And we only pay over $1K a month for these savings tangy yet delightful has issued a correction as of 01:43 on Sep 20, 2023 |

But at 25% humidity, that time doubled: Half of the original particles released into the chamber remained infectious for two hours." I wouldn't have called that!

Why Am I So Tired posted:So let's see Given the poor uptake when it was widely available and free, maybe they're trying to create buzz by making the vaccines hard to get. Pfizer should get hip with the new generation and make a Logan Paul special edition Comirnaty. CIGNA havers, CVS had no trouble giving me a vaccine on Sunday, so you may have better luck. The guy before me trying to get a shot before he had travel? No dice.

icantfindaname posted:So how long again does covid linger in typical indoor air? Google says 3 hours but I don't trust Google I don't think there is a good answer, because there are too many variables. As WrasslorMonkey's link indicated it can be measured in hours, but then direct sunlight would cut that substantially, a light breeze would as well, while on the other hand temperature, droplet size, pollution etc. can all pull in the other direction. Consequently it isn't really actionable. Anyways, have an article about the blind spots: "Unanswered questions on the airborne transmission of COVID-19" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10311-022-01557-z#Sec8 posted:Abstract Here's a collated disincentivized source saying hours: https://www.epa.gov/coronavirus/indoor-air-and-coronavirus-covid-19 posted:Indoor Air and Coronavirus (COVID-19)

SoCal Walgreens trip report. no pediatric in stock, and they won’t take Kaiser insurance. they also won’t let me pay in cash. I went across the street to RiteAid, and they have not received any doses at all yet. it’s like someone doesn’t want us to be vaccinated.

icantfindaname posted:So how long again does covid linger in typical indoor air? Google says 3 hours but I don't trust Google All good sources. Another issue is whether a super-shedder was the one in the room before you, because they are dumping a couple orders of magnitude more virus into the air than the average plague rat. Tldr, it's so condition-dependent that I would assume all non-ventilated/filtered indoor air is nature's booster.

I used to have a post-polio link about essentially a slow ramping up of physical exertion and other related things in an attempt to manage and improve fatigue. But now it's erroring out, anyone know what I'm talking about and have a working link? Trying to help a friend out that's still in the acute phase of recovery with fatigue. edit: here's the link I have that's giving me a 403 https://www.ninds.nih.gov/archived/post-polio-syndrome-fact-sheet

Does anyone remember Metal Gear Solid 5's plot? There is an infectious parasite (covid) that can only be cured with an herb called wolbachia (vaccines), but in an endgame mission the parasite mutates (variants) and the guys that go in to investigate get infected because they mutated and the wolbachia doesnt work, but Snake goes in and he's fine because he wore a respirator (respirator). Couldn't stop laughing in that mission. Also there is a pair of special gogglea to tell who is infected (RAT tests) but they dont detect the infection in one guy the first time (false negatives)

no lube so what posted:yooo, what the go to for a hepa for small rooms? levoit is pretty well liked generally among posters here and they have a handful of options for small but effective HEPA filters. not sure exactly what power level you're looking for but just go to their website and browse the HEPA filters by size and you'll find something good for a reasonable price

A nurse at my kids pediatricians office claims they aren't allowed to even order the pediatric shots "per the FDA and DoH." I'm certain this is categorically false, I imagine I'm getting this bullshit because they have no idea what the gently caress is going on because of this clusterfuck of a rollout I'm going to lose my poo poo if I can't find my kid her second shot

Eye doctor update: not wearing a mask this time. My Lyft Drive was though. Dude saw me also in a mask and went on rant about COVID that would have made this thread proud. Then he started talking about some congresspeople who got caught smoking and groping each other or something said the word "titty" probably ten times in 30 seconds. All in all I hope he used the profits of the ride to buy an account.
