After a slight delay.. our new article:
Current status and future perspectives on the mechanistic and pathophysiological understanding of long COVID
Is here: nature.com/articles/s43856-0…

Latest paper from @CallumThomas96 and our research group showing a reduction in oxygen extraction in the calf muslces during low intensity exercise/activity.
This has important implications for energy production and functional status...

A new peer-reviewed publication from our @DerbyUni x @sheffhallamuni x @Northumbriauni research team has been released online which suggests problems with oxygen transport, usage or both may contribute to Long COVID symptoms.

Conclusion: Submaximal 2-day CPET demonstrated a reduction in oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse and partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide, suggesting dysfunctional oxygen transport, utilisation or both may contribute to Long COVID symptoms.

And just like that we have completed the last patient visit in Derby for @ERASE_LC
A patient-led study with @DerbyUni @UHDBTrust @Pen_CTU and @UniofExeter seeking to help people with #LongCovid
Thanks to everyone, especially the participants who gave so much to this work.

A productive and enjoyable 5 weeks with the research team at @StellenboschUni in 2024 has culminated in the below publication. We hope this helps add to the pathophysiological understanding of #LongCovid #research

A new preprint from our @DerbyUni x @StellenboschUni Long COVID research team has now been published. Findings suggest that exercise may worsen symptoms in Long COVID due to microclot fragmentation.

Conclusion: Exercise-induced fragmentation of fibrinaloid microclots may reduce oxygen transport and drive inflammation; providing a potential mechanism for PESE in Long COVID. We hope these findings inform safer rehabilitation approaches.
