How Long COVID affects the careers of top athletes
Long COVID has had a lasting impact on the lives of several athletes including top rower Marie-Sophie Zeidler. Although scientists are gaining a better understanding of the disease, there is still no outright solution.
Den 24-åriga olympiska roddaren Marie-Sophie Zeidler fick alltså Covid omkring februari 2023 och förvånades över hur mycket och snabbt hennes kropp bröts ned av den trots att hon var i toppform:
The 24-year-old, younger sister of two-time world champion Oliver Zeidler, contracted COVID-19 for the second time just over a month ago. At the time her lung capacity was reduced to 60 percent. Today she has to cope with a loss of just over 25 percent. "It's extremely frightening to see how quickly the body can break down, even though you're actually fit," Zeidler tells DW.
Det kan ju bero på att det var andra gången hon fick Covid. Första gången var i oktober 2020:
For six months after her first infection in October 2020, she struggled with Long COVIDLong COVID symptoms such as rapid physical exhaustion, shortness of breath and other unpleasantries before she regained her former fitness. https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/how-long-covid-affects-the-careers-of-top-athletes-101679748518601.html
Nu var ju tanken bland en del här i tråden att Marie-Sophie skulle bli stärkt av sin första Covidinfektion, men så verkar det ju inte ha varit.
Hur har det gått för henne? Borta från Insta sedan i juli 2023, förhoppningsvis har det gått bra, och hon är inte en av alla som betalar priset för världens pandemistrategi men också för Covidkramarnas påståenden att Covid är en förkylning.
En ny studie visar att neurologiska skador ökar.
Newsweek skrev om den 14 mars 2024. Nu kollar ju studien på de senaste tre decennierna, men de berörde även Covid:
'Very Concerning' Neurological Study Finds Disorders Increasing Worldwide
Neurological disorders are becoming more common worldwide, a new study has found.
The number of people living and dying with such conditions as Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, meningitis, and stroke has risen "substantially" over the past three decades, an international collaborations of researchers reported. (...)
The most common neurological health disorders in 2021 were found to be stroke, brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, migraines, nerve damage, meningitis, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder and nervous system cancers. (...)
The researchers also found that cognitive decline following COVID-19 accounted for losses of healthy life in 2021. https://www.newsweek.com/neurological-disorders-common-worldwide-health-1878910
De undersökte bara Covid under de första 2 Covid-åren, och dessutom undersökte bara något av symptomen, eller som de säger:
When quantifying the neurological burden of post-COVID-19 condition, we accounted only for cognitive impairment, using the same disability weights as for mild or moderate dementia, which might not be accurate considering that cognitive impairment following COVID-19 appears to improve with time. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(24)00038-3/fulltext
