A link between HAPE (High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and COVID-19 is Aldosterone. Glucocorticoids may help preserve endothelial cell membrane.
"The plasma aldosterone level rose continuously and on the last day of altitude was significantly elevated."

"The risk of developing serotonin syndrome is greater when medicines are given in combination, particularly when one of the medications is some form of serotonin reuptake inhibitor."

"Morbidity can result from serotonin syndrome, including acute encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, cardiac arrest. Fentanyl can precipitate serotonin syndrome, especially if combined with another serotonergic agent." #Fentanyl#Methamphetamine

"Specific agents that may be implicated in serotonin syndrome include:
- Amphetamines and their derivatives (ecstasy, methamphetamine, and sibutramine)
- Analgesics (cyclobenzaprine, fentanyl, meperidine, tramadol)".

"Diagnosis is based on a high index of suspicion, and characteristic presentation and laboratory findings, including myoglobinuria, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated creatine kinase levels."

55/"It is mediated by aldosterone which also increases in COVID-19. G6PD is essential for an adequate immune response. Both G6PDd and SARS-CoV-2 compromise the AO system through the same pathways rendering G6PDd the Achilles' heel for COVID-19." #G6PD#C19

54/ An interesting paper on #G6PD deficiency and immunity.
"That patients with G6PD deficiency are susceptible to infection may involve a novel mechanism that includes impaired inflammasome activation."

Increased symptom severity when both disorders are present.
"This study places the prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency among sickle cell disease patients at 35.83% which indicate a significant G6PD deficiency among SCD patients."

"Sickle cell trait (SCT) has historically been thought of as a benign condition. However, there has been increasing recognition that, in athletes, SCT is associated with an elevated risk for exertion-related death."

Carboxyhemoglobin as an index of hemolysis and high bilirubin:
"These data suggest that G6PD deficiency and increased bilirubin production, as indexed by Carboxyhemoglobin, are associated with jaundice-related morbidity and death in Nigerian infants."

EXERTIONAL SICKLING:
Sickle cell trait can be as dangerous as Sickle cell disease and may become symptomatic due to extreme biological stress. Effects can include cramps, hemolysis, hypoxia, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest. Often co-exists with G6PDd.

"Significant correlation was found between Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) levels and hematocrit, reticulocyte count, unconjugated bilirubin level, and percentage of irreversibly sickled cells."

“Sickle cell trait, in the absence of extreme conditions or major health problems, has negligible consequences for most people,” said Taylor. “Covid could change that dynamic — turning a silent condition into a deadly risk —"

"Therefore, G6PD status should be determined before medications such as hydroxychloroquine are administered. In conclusion, MetHb and Carboxyhemoglobin can be elevated in COVID-19 patients and should be checked routinely.."

The hand recount taking place in Georgia is a waste of time. They are not showing the matching signatures. Call off the recount until they allow the MATCH. Don’t let the Radical Left Dems STEAL THE ELECTION!
Voici une étude qui montre une carence énorme en vitamine C (indétectable dans plus de 94% des cas) des patients Covid en réa... Je rappelle qu'en Allemagne on soigne aussi avec des intraveineuses en Vit C ! Mais c'est INTERDIT en France...
