長新冠|腦霧有原因 染疫後病毒走勻全身上埋腦 新冠病毒引起的疫潮持續逾三年,但我們仍對這種病毒感染所知不多。美國一項最新研究就發現,新冠病毒不只影響呼及系統,而是全身都可能被病毒侵襲,甚至大腦亦不能倖免,或許能解釋長新冠出現的原因。 8個月後仍帶病毒 美國國家衛生研究所為44名於2020年4月至2021年3月期間死亡並帶有新冠病毒的病人進行解剖及檢查,包括在其中11人的中樞神經系統收集大量樣本進行檢測。 結果發現,新冠病毒初期主要破壞氣管及肺部組織,但很快便影響及全身,因為他們在人體多達84個部位及體液都找到病毒的基因,包括腦部、心臟、淋巴結、胃腸道、腎上腺及眼睛等,其中一個樣本更是病人出現染疫病徵後230日、即約八個月過後仍測出病毒蹤影。 損害不算嚴重 此外,研究人員亦在其中一名病人的下丘腦及小腦檢測出病毒基因及蛋白,另兩名病人則在脊髓及基底神經節中找到病毒。縱使病毒量不低,但病毒似乎對腦部組織的損害不算嚴重。有關研究已刊載於《Nature》。 Original Post: https://www.am730.com.hk/健康/長新冠-腦霧有原因-染疫後病毒走勻全身上埋腦/355490

Integrated cognitive and physical fitness training enhances attention abilities in older adults 腦力回春 研究發現郁住黎做認知訓練 老人家腦力可反勝年輕人 隨住年齡上升,一般人嘅認知能力亦會隨之下降,而醫學界就一直希望搵到延緩、甚至阻止認知能力下降嘅方法。根據近日美國一個研究發現,原來只要畀老人家郁住黎做認知訓練,就唔單止能夠延緩退化,甚至能夠「腦力回春」,令老人家嘅認知能力反超廿歲嘅後生仔。 Chinese (Traditional short version 繁體簡易版): https://menclub.hk/healthandfitness/30812 English (Full detailed version 詳細全文): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41514-022-00093-y
