🌍World Lung Day 2024 💙 Today, we come together to raise awareness about the importance of lung health. Every breath we take is a reminder of how vital our lungs are to living a healthy and vibrant life. In light of the ongoing challenges posed by Long COVID, the need for lung health awareness is important. Many people continue to face persistent respiratory issues as a result of the virus, highlighting the need for research, support, and healthcare solutions!  Let’s stand together to advocate for better understanding, care, and treatment for those affected. #LongCOVID #Lunghealth

👀 Check out our latest publication 👀   ➡ Don’t miss this incredible research article by Tatham et al. which has been published recently in Microbiology Spectrum:   📃 "Ronapreve (REGN-CoV; casirivimab and imdevimab) reduces the viral burden and alters the pulmonary response to the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) in K18-hACE2 mice using an experimental design reflective of a treatment use case"   🔬 This study explores the effect of Ronapreve on viral replication in mice infected with either the Delta or Omicron variants, using a reliable murine SARS-Cov-2 infection model. The results showed that Ronapreve was effective against the Delta variant, reducing virus levels in the lungs and nasal turbinate, and blocking brain infection in mice. However, its ineffectiveness against Omicron was also confirmed.   Read the full article here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eCybEman #LongCovid #Research #horizoneurope #covid19research #postcovid

✨Today is #InternationalSelfCareDay, a reminder of the importance of self-care in maintaining overall wellbeing. This is particularly important for people living with #LongCOVID, who face persistent symptoms such as chronic fatigue and cognitive challenges. Self-care can take many forms, from practising mindfulness and meditation to eating healthy foods or taking bath or a walk in nature. For people with Long COVID, self-care practices can help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. We use this day not only to encourage self-care practices, but also to raise awareness of the ongoing struggles of individuals with Long COVID and the importance of comprehensive support and understanding!💚

🌍🧠 It's #WorldBrainDay2024! Today, let's raise awareness about brain health and the impact of Long COVID. Many people living with Long COVID (LC) experience various cognitive challenges as part of their #LC journey, including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, mental fatigue, and brain fog. Nearly 40 percent of Long COVID patients experience brain fog, which can last for weeks, months or years. The exact causes of the neurological symptoms are not yet fully understood. For this reason, the Long COVID Project is investigating possible causes of the neurological symptoms in Long COVID and possible routes of infection. To do this, the Long COVID Project is investigating different approaches from brain cells, to human mini-brains and pre-clinical models. Let's unite and work together to support the ongoing research and improve the lives of those affected by Long COVID. 🤗 Happy #WBD2024!

📢 German speakers take note! Long COVID Betroffene für eine Studie in Basel (Schweiz) gesucht! Bist du oder jemand den du kennst von Long COVID betroffen? Hast du oder die betroffene Person Interesse an einer Studie in Basel (Schweiz) mitzumachen? Unser Projektpartner vom Universitätsspital Basel (USB) rekrutiert Studienteilnehmer*innen. Das Universitätsspital Basel (USB) hat ein digitales Behandlungskonzept für Long COVID Betroffene entwickelt und sucht Studienteilnehmer*innen, um dessen Wirksamkeit zu evaluieren. Konkrete Themen dieser Behandlung sind u.a. Energiemanagement, Schlaf- und Stressmanagement, aber auch physiotherapeutische Anleitungen und psychische Gesundheit, Akzeptanz und Selbstfürsorge.

🌍 Today is #WorldPopulationDay, a time to reflect on the diversity of humanity and the unique challenges we face. One of these challenges is dealing with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It remains crucial that we address the needs of those suffering from #LongCOVID. Millions of people worldwide are affected by long COVID, the symptoms of which can last for weeks, months or years and affect their ability to work and live. We need to advocate for better healthcare systems and a more understanding society to support those affected. Let's use this day to raise awareness and advocate for a future where everyone has access to the care and support they need. Together, we can create a healthier, more respectful and resilient world. 🤗
