Today @thesicktimes.org: Research ethics boards urgently need training on Long COVID and ME, @spichaksimon.bsky.social argues. Better training could help prevent studies that may harm patients, like those trialing exercise. thesicktimes.org/2026/06/02/r...

NEW & NOTEWORTHY We provide objective evidence that skeletal muscle microvascular reactivity is significantly impaired in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) compared with recovered controls. Using near-infrared spectroscopy, we demonstrate that this blunted microvascular reperfusion persists

Mapping cerebral blood flow in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and orthostatic intolerance: insights from a systematic review
#ME/CFS #CBF #OI
The pandemic has left some evidence that viral infection may play a role in reawakening dormant cancer cells already present in a patient’s body before infection.
Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and debilitating condition with a large proportion of patients that experience orthostatic intolerance (OI). This sy...
