🚨Out today @TheLancet from @TheCrick @UCLHResearch Legacy study

https://t.co/z4H2LHYyQh

Two different COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were deployed for 5th dose boosters in the UK #JCVI

We tested if either 💉 generated neutralizing antibodies against BA.2.86 & JN.1

Have you been invited?
Have you received an invitation to the PHOSP-COVID 5-year follow-up study?
🖥️ A short online survey + 🧠 optional cognitive tests – your experience still matters.

@Dr_ClaireSmith @sangerinstitute @FitzMuseum_UK @AE_Saliba @Josie_M_B Thank you for the inviation @Dr_ClaireSmith I *really* enjoyed the two days, such a meeting of minds

Paper published today in @BMJ_Open from our group describing trajectory of 3590 patients with #longcovid Important insights into inpatient and outpatient treated cohorts, impact of vaccine before illness, recovery trajectories and health economics https://t.co/WDqg3KmHMG

[Emma Wall @dremmacbw]

Clinical trajectories of > 3500 patients with #LongCovid @uclh 2020-2024.
🚨 Only 1/3 recovered🚨

➡️ Vaccination predicts recovery
➡️ Severe fatigue, POTS and PEM predicts slower recovery/non-recovery
➡️ LC clinic *reduces* GP and ED visits

Promoter variation in Streptococcus:
S. pneumoniae promoters contain repetitive nucleotides, driving strand slippage & promoter mutations. This drives population-level heterogeneity in gene expression, offering evolutionary strategy to maximize fitness

A great Keystone meeting on Long COVID this week in Santa Fe. The field has made great progress recently, but there is much more to do. Exciting science presented about viral and immune mechanisms, clinical data and future clinical trials. https://t.co/FViOhd73mC

[UCLH @uclh]

It has been five years since the post-Covid clinic was set up outside University College Hospital.

The team has since expanded and continues to provide vital support as new cases emerge and some patients experience long-term effects.

New in Nature Comms: We applied metagenomic and targeted NGS to serum samples from undiagnosed febrile patients across Uganda. This work highlights how NGS can transform viral surveillance in LMICs—especially with infrastructure now in place post-COVID. 🔗 https://t.co/EQ0uXRdUIy

[Professor Alex Richter @AlexRichter3]

5 years on. Sobering to think 1in 280 people in UK have died of #COVID. The research journey has been steep but despite vaccines and antivirals the immune vulnerable remain at risk and we still have no treatments for #longcovid. So much more to do https://t.co/YVoZGDSoKo
