Another new preprint with @resiapretorius.bsky.social is available, on a technique called #Nailfold #Capillaroscopy that we think will be an important complement to #microclot measurements. preprints.org/manuscript/2... #TeamClots

www.researchsquare.c... Ein sehr interessanter Preprint vom Team um @resiapretorius.bsky.social und @dbkell.bsky.social, der ein neues Licht auf die hier „PV/PIS“ genannte Entität wirft, an der bisher ja oft Weltanschauungen aneinandergeprallt sind. 1/2

These findings suggest that PV/PIS is characterized by persistent immune dysregulation and coagulopathy, with proteomic signatures only partially overlapping those previously reported in prior proteomics analysis on Long COVID samples collected prior to vaccination availability. Our results highlight the complex interplay between immune activation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulation pathologies in PV/PIS, while also highlighting distinct differences between these systems in Long COVID and PV/PIS, paving the way for more targeted protein research in these conditions.

Nattokinase has really helped me stabilise. Before I was taking it I was slowly sliding into severe. With the nattokinase I feel my ME is now back to where it was pre Covid infection. Huge impact on QoL. None of that would have happened without the work of @resiapretorius.bsky.social. Thank you! 🙏

I saw a patient last week with ME who in 2023 was told by the MECFS service to ‘get back to the gym’. She did 20 minutes, collapsed and hasn’t walked since. The advice is still out there, still wrong and the harm is real.
