SARS-CoV-2 is a systemic virus that affects the whole body, but mounting evidence shows that the brain is the organ most consistently affected in the short and long term. Letting this virus roam may prove extremely expensive for our societies.
New important study out in Nature ⬇️

The brain injury 1 year post-Covid hospitalization, systematically assessed with MRI (reduced grey matter), biomarkers, and cognitive deficits "equivalent in magnitude to aging from 50 to 70 years of age."

@brownecfm Several other studies find the same. And that vaccines protect. Should have broad implications for vaccine policy globally.

We have a paper out in Archives of Public Health. We found an increase in no. of primary healthcare consultations in Norway for 2024 7.1% higher than expected compared to pre-pandemic baseline levels.

@s_jakke @Prebens Ah. Så artikkelen @Prebens delte, var kanskje ikke engang fact-checked.
Det er noe med det å lete etter "sannheter" i SoMe, som er skummelt. Det er stadig mindre av innholdet man kommer over som ikke er fabrikert/forvrengt.

X motvirker romslig, inkluderende mangfold - by design.

@SomedudeDavid @Prebens For ikke å glemme den engstelse og forvirring som kan skapes i befolkningen når helsemyndigheter unnlater å anerkjenne etablert vitenskap, og unnlater å formidle sannferdig info om eller sette i gang hensiktsmessige tiltak for å beskytte folk mot langtidsskader etter covid-19.

@legeforeningen @nkklev Vi vil også presentere hva som er funnet av biomarkører. Kurset er åpent for påmelding. Vi håper på mange deltakere! Ses vi i Trondheim? https://t.co/0mQez5MOJT

På Nidaroskongressen 22. okt arrangeres det aller første heldagskurs i post-Covid condition/PCC ("long covid") for allmennpraktikere, tellende til spesialiteten i allmennmedisin. Møt flere av landets fremste eksperter på denne nye tilstanden. Påmelding: https://t.co/0mQez5MOJT

[Gunhild Alvik Nyborg, MD, PhD, Exam. Oecon., FRSM @GANyborg]

@legeforeningen @nkklev Eller at folk med genetiske varianter innenfor FOXP4, et gen som uttrykkes i lungene og er forbundet med alvorlig Covid-19, har økt risiko for å utvikle PCC? På kurset presenterer vi også det siste fra forskningsfronten om årsaker til denne komplekse og spennende tilstanden./

@GANyborg @GANyborg yes, I saw. It is exactly what we suspected and a cardiovascular crisis waiting to happen!

[Gunhild Alvik Nyborg, MD, PhD, Exam. Oecon., FRSM @GANyborg]

@resiapretorius Dear Resia, I hope all is well. I’m not on X these days but came across this and would very much like to hear your opinion? All the best, Gunhild https://t.co/2ORUbOxXsN

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
