Background

Long COVID is a common occurrence following COVID-19 infection. The most symptom reported fatigue. Limited interventional treatment options exist. We report the first evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for long treatment.

Methods

A total 10 consecutive patients received sessions HBOT to 2.4 atmospheres over 12 days. Each session lasted 105 minutes, consisting three 30-minute exposures 100% oxygen, interspersed with 5-minute air breaks. Validated fatigue and cognitive scoring assessments were performed at day 1 10. Statistical analysis was Wilcoxon signed-rank testing alongside effect sizes.

Results

yielded statistically significant improvement in Chalder scale (p=0.0059; d=1.75 (very large)), global cognition (p=0.0137; d=–1.07 (large)), executive function (p=0.0039; d=–1.06 attention (p=0.0020; d=–1.2 information processing d=–1.25 large)) verbal (p=0.0098; d=–0.92 (large)).

Conclusion

COVID-related can be debilitating, may affect young people who previously economic employment. results presented here suggest potential benefits HBOT, sessions.

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) represent an emerging global crisis. However, quantifiable risk factors for PASC and their biological associations are poorly resolved. We executed a deep multi-omic, longitudinal investigation 309 patients from initial diagnosis to convalescence (2-3 months later), integrated with clinical data patient-reported symptoms. resolved four PASC-anticipating at the time diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia, Epstein-Barr virus viremia, specific auto-antibodies. In gastrointestinal PASC, SARS-CoV-2-specific CMV-specific CD8+ T cells exhibited unique dynamics during recovery COVID-19. Analysis symptom-associated immunological signatures revealed coordinated immunity polarization into endotypes, exhibiting divergent acute severity PASC. find that between diminish over time, leading distinct convalescent immune states. Detectability most emphasizes importance early disease measurements understanding emergent chronic conditions suggests treatment strategies.

Acute COVID-19 infection is followed by prolonged symptoms in approximately one ten cases: known as Long COVID. The disease affects ~65 million individuals worldwide. Many pathophysiological processes appear to underlie COVID, including viral factors (persistence, reactivation, and bacteriophagic action of SARS CoV-2); host (chronic inflammation, metabolic endocrine dysregulation, immune autoimmunity); downstream impacts (tissue damage from the initial infection, tissue hypoxia, dysbiosis, autonomic nervous system dysfunction). These mechanisms culminate long-term persistence disorder characterized a thrombotic endothelialitis, endothelial hyperactivated platelets, fibrinaloid microclots. abnormalities blood vessels coagulation affect every organ represent unifying pathway for various

Post recovery manifestations have become another concern in patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Numerous reports shown that COVID-19 has a variety of long-term effects on almost all systems including respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric, and dermatological systems. We aimed to investigate the prevalence characteristics post-COVID syndrome among survivors determine factors associated with persistent symptoms. This prospective study enrolled followed hospital or outpatient clinics Ankara City Hospital. performed special questionnaire inquire about presence symptoms beyond 12 weeks first diagnosis. Demographic data, comorbid diseases, acute COVID-19, by systems, knowledge clinic visits after were assessed.

Stratification of patients with post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, or long COVID) would allow precision clinical management strategies. However, COVID is incompletely understood and characterised by a wide range manifestations that are difficult to analyse computationally. Additionally, the generalisability machine learning classification COVID-19 outcomes has rarely been tested.
