Scientists described brain damage related to COVID-19
... American scientists have summarized the data of more than 80 studies and described the general picture of brain changes related to COVID-19. The results are published in Seizure: European Journal of Epilepsy.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians have recorded hundreds of cases of neurological complications resulting from coronavirus infection, including strokes, blurred consciousness, headaches and seizures, but there have been no generalizing articles on this subject so far.
Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh collected and analyzed electroencephalograms (EEGs) of 617 COVID-19 patients. EEG is a test used to assess the brain electrical activity. It is usually prescribed for patients who have a delayed response to stimuli, seizures, speech problems, sedation stage, or an inability to recover from an induced coma.
Doctors have confirmed the ability of coronavirus to penetrate the brain
“We have found more than 600 such patients,” co-author Zulfi Haneef, associate professor of neurology and neurophysiology, said in a press release from Baylor College of Medicine. "Earlier, when we saw isolated cases, we thought they were just coincidences, but now we can confidently say that they are related to COVID-19."
The most frequent EEG abnormalities were sedation stage cases or abnormal electrical discharge, mainly in the frontal lobe. The scientists found that about a third of the patients had abnormal neuroimaging, also localized in the brain frontal lobe. The signal anomaly localization place seemed interesting to the scientists.
“We know the nose is the most likely entry point for a virus. Therefore, there seems to be a connection with the part of the brain that is located directly next to this entry point,” says Hanif.
The average age of patients with the brain damage was 61 years, two thirds of them were men and one third were women. According to the authors, older men are at risk group.
If the covid is confirmed: what should do and which rules should follow the patients and their relatives?
Some of the changes found on the EEG look so severe that scientists doubt they will be able to regain after recovering from COVID-19.
“As we know, the brain is an organ that cannot regain itself, so if you have any damage it is likely to be permanent. You will not be able to fully recover, - notes Hanif. “A lot of people think they’ll get sick, then recover and everything will return to normal, but these results tell us that there may be long-term problems, which we suspected, and now we find more and more confirmation.”
Here is my opinion – All this is a good confirmation of why Session 3_369 was created for Telegram. It just proves the protective properties of the “SvetL” Technologies and the use of Mumiyo.
