🔥 A simple nasal spray may one day reverse brain ageing by switching off chronic neuroinflammation.
➡️ A new study shows a non-invasive nasal spray can reduce age-related brain inflammation (“neuroinflammaging”) and improve memory.
➡️ The therapy uses extracellular vesicles carrying microRNAs, which reach the brain directly via the nasal route and modulate inflammatory pathways.
➡️ It restores mitochondrial function and cognitive performance, with effects seen within weeks and lasting months in animal models.
➡️ This suggests brain ageing may be reversible, though human studies are still needed.

When a child with a brain injury begins the transition to adulthood, certain challenges can arise. In a recorded BIAA webinar, we discuss these challenges and give tips for caregivers to navigate this period of their child's life. Watch the recording here: bit.ly/43KTt3o

🧠New Care Consortium #Concussion Data:
Compared to the no-exercise group, the early exercise group was 92% more probable to experience symptom recovery, 88% more probable to reach clinical recovery, & took a median of 2.4 & 3.2 days less to recover.
The late exercise group relative to the no-exercise group was 57% less probable to reach symptom recovery m, 46% less probable to achieve clinical recovery, & took 5.3 days & 5.7 days more to recover.
Exercise < 2 days post-concussion was associated with more probable and faster symptom and clinical recovery, and lower persisting post-concussion symptom prevalence. When considering our findings and existing literature, qualified clinicians may implement early exercise into their clinical practice to provide therapeutic treatment and improve student-athlete recovery

I've been at this for 20 years. This is the most difficult article I've ever had to read or share.
I want you to know how great my Harvard captain Chris Eitzmann was.
I want you to know how far he fell before he died last year & was diagnosed with #CTE.
I want you do know how hard the Harvard football community tried to help him, and how supportive members have been to me.
And I want you to know that I don't believe the same fate is inevitable for me. But after 15 years of studying CTE, I'd be a fool to think it's not possible. That's why I keep fighting. wapo.st/3W3jMfE

Finally! New @WHO guideline specifies: NO EXERCISE THERAPY for #PostCovid patients if they suffer from POST-EXERTIONAL SYMPTOM EXACERBATION.
Hope this will protect more patients from becoming bedbound by wrongly applied #rehab measures like GET

Yet another fallacy in science: to view exercise as protective of bad outcomes. Is exercise "good for you"? Absolutely. Is it going to protect you from #LongCovid? No because a majority of #LongCovid patients were previously healthy and active.
Does exercise reduce infections and severity of Covid?
bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2… A review of 16 studies suggests it does, but it's full of confounders, publication bias, w/o vaccination status or mitigation factors, and pre-Omicron

New study from Qatar on BA.4/5 reinfection
—Protection of a previous infection against BA.4/BA.5 was lower than that against BA.1/BA.2 (> immune escape)
—Pre-Omicron infections offered little protection, but BA.1/BA.2 infections high, ~80% VE (Table)
