Abstract Given the huge impact of COVID-19 pandemic, it appears paramount importance to assess cognitive effects on population returning work after resolution. Serum levels neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) represent promising biomarkers neuro-axonal damage astrocytic activation. In this cohort study, we explored association between sNfL sGFAP concentrations performance in a group 147 adult workers with previous asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection or mild COVID-19, one week and, 49 them, ten months SARS-Cov2 negativization compared them 82 age BMI-matched healthy controls (HCs). were assessed using SimoaTM assay Neurology 2-Plex B Kit. patients interviewed one-on-one by trained physicians had complete list questionnaires, including Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ). At first assessment (T0), significantly higher than HCs (p < 0.001 for both). The eleven impairment others = 0.005 subsequent follow-up (T1), showed significant decrease (median 18.3 pg/mL; median 77.2 pg/mL), although they still 7.2 pg/mL, 63.5 pg/mL).

Background: Nutritional status and oxidative stress have been implicated in the pathogenesis persistence of long COVID, but data patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) are limited. The present study aimed to investigate association between pre-infection nutritional status, stress, one-year COVID HD patients. Methods: This prospective observational cohort enrolled 115 with confirmed COVID-19. was assessed using Controlling Status (CONUT) score twice: before infection three months post-infection. Oxidative markers included malondialdehyde (MDAs), ceruloplasmin, transferrin, sulfhydryl groups. endpoint persistence. Results: Moderate CONUT scores were associated heightened severe undernutrition risk (p &amp;lt; 0.0001), elevated MDAs reduced ceruloplasmin levels = 0.0009) at post-COVID-19 compared light scores. Pre-infection independently predicted post-COVID damage [OR 2.3 (95%CI 1.2; 4.6), p 0.0001] [HR 4.6 1.4; 9.9), 0.0001], even after adjusting for potential confounders.

Post-COVID syndrome manifests with numerous neurological and cognitive symptoms, the precise origins of which are still not fully understood. As females older adults more susceptible to developing this condition, our study aimed investigate how post-COVID alters intrinsic brain dynamics in whether biological sex training might modulate these effects, a specific focus on females. The participants, aged between 60 75 years, were divided into three experimental groups: healthy old female, female male. They underwent an adaptive task-switching protocol. We analysed multiscale entropy spectral power density resting-state EEG data collected before after assess neural signal complexity oscillatory power, respectively. found no difference males training, indicating that similarly affected both sexes. However, was effective only males, by modulating local processing capacity. This improvement further evidenced comparing females, wherein latter group showed increased finer timescale (1-30 ms) higher frequency band (11-40 Hz) but differences disappeared following training. Our results suggest syndrome, there is pronounced shift from global processing, potentially contributing accelerated aging condition. seems offer promising intervention method for changes dynamics, especially among
