@SkyBet@Official_NCFC@SkyBetLeagueTwo Tom Iorpenda - not missed a game all season and he's been influential in a number of roles. He has a bright future ahead of him.
After a slight delay.. our new article:
Current status and future perspectives on the mechanistic and pathophysiological understanding of long COVID
Is here: https://t.co/uIO8cHybzH
7️⃣ Take‑home message
Long COVID is not a single disease but a complex, multisystem condition. Advancing care will depend on mechanism‑driven research, collaboration across disciplines, and sustained long‑term investment.
Latest paper from @CallumThomas96 and our research group showing a reduction in oxygen extraction in the calf muslces during low intensity exercise/activity.
This has important implications for energy production and functional status...

@Official_NCFC TC was an absolute gent, and his door was always open for a cuppa no matter how busy he was.
He opened the doors that led to me getting my job at Notts back in 2010 with Michael Jonshon. Forever grateful for him, his support, and his kindness.
Condolences to his family!!🕊️
A new study suggests that exercise doesn’t clear microclots in people with Long COVID—it just fragments them into smaller ones. These smaller clots are linked to increased inflammation and impaired oxygen transport, which may help explain post-exertional malaise (PEM) and post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE)—a worsening of symptoms after even mild physical or mental effort.
Researchers observed these microclot and inflammatory changes even after submaximal exertion, highlighting the need for caution when recommending exercise-based therapies.
