The current understanding of long COVID (LC) is still limited. This review highlights key findings regarding the role gut microbiota, mitochondria, and main pathophysiological aspects LC revealed by clinical studies, related to complex interplay between infection, intestinal dysbiosis, dysfunctional systemic inflammation generated in a vicious circle, reflecting molecular cellular processes from "leaky gut" electron transport chain (ETC)" into quantum leap. heterogeneity has hindered progress deciphering all mechanisms, therefore, approach must be multidisciplinary, with special focus not only on symptomatic management but also addressing underlying health problems patients. It imperative further assess validate effects COVID-19 microbiome their relationship infections other viral agents or pathogens. Further studies are needed better understand expand interdisciplinary points view that required accurately diagnose effectively treat this heterogeneous condition. Given ability SARS-CoV-2 induce autoimmunity susceptible patients, they should monitored for symptoms autoimmune disease after contracting infection. One question remains open, namely, whether various vaccines developed end pandemic will autoimmunity. Recent data highlighted have persistence mitochondria organs such as heart and, lesser extent, kidneys, liver, lymph nodes, organism been able clear virus lungs, could an explanation LC.

Post-COVID syndrome is characterized by the persistence of nonspecific disabling symptoms, even several months after resolution infection, with clinical characteristics similar to fibromyalgia (FM) and a prevalence 31%. We evaluated effectiveness physical exercise, in association L-acetyl-carnitine (ALC) therapy, patients syndrome, on musculoskeletal pain, dyspnea, functional capacity, quality life, depression. conducted an observational case-control study syndrome. The were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group that received rehabilitation combination ALC 500 mg therapy; control only treatment. Patients assessed at time recruitment (T0) one month end therapy (T1), administration rating scales: NRS, Barthel Dyspnea Index (NPI), 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) scale, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Patient Health (PHQ-9). showed statistically higher variations pain scores, No significant differences between groups emerged regarding changes dyspnea capacity scores. Combining exercise promising effective management especially for depression, life.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common and aggressive subtype of lung cancer, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a serious public health threat worldwide. Patients with LUAD COVID-19 have poor prognosis. Therefore, finding medications that can be used to treat COVID-19/LUAD patients essential. Bioinformatics analysis was identify 20 possible metformin target genes for treatment COVID-19/LUAD. PTEN mTOR may serve as hub metformin. Metformin able cure comorbidity through energy metabolism, oxidoreductase NADH activity, FoxO signalling pathway, AMPK system, among other pathways, according results bioinformatic research. ability inhibit proliferation A549 cells, colony formation assays.
