AskPippa🇨🇦<p>Recently, I had conversations with 2 people who turned out to be vaccine skeptics. They stopped getting <a href="https://c.im/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID</span></a> vaccines after their first jab or two. So, I told them about the 30+ year history behind mRNA vaccine development. That it has been (and continues to be) worked on for treating cancer as well as for other diseases. And that mRNA vaccines were part-way developed for <a href="https://c.im/tags/SARS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SARS</span></a> during the 2002-2004 outbreak (but work stopped because the infection petered out for various reasons) and for Zika.

And that they underwent clinical trials before they were approved for release. <br>Both conversations ended with "Wow, I didn't know any of that.

Chuck Darwin<p>There is strong evidence of brain-related abnormalities in COVID-19. </p><p>However, it remains unknown whether the impact of <a href="https://c.im/tags/SARS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SARS</span></a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/CoV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoV</span></a>-2 infection can be detected in milder cases, <br>and whether this can reveal possible mechanisms contributing to brain <a href="https://c.im/tags/pathology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pathology</span></a>. </p><p>Here we investigated <a href="https://c.im/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/changes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>changes</span></a> in 785 participants of UK Biobank (aged 51–81 years) who were imaged twice&nbsp;using magnetic resonance imaging, </p><p>including 401 cases who tested positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2 between their two scans<br>—with 141 days on average separating their diagnosis and the second scan<br>—as well as 384 controls. </p><p>The availability of pre-infection imaging data reduces the likelihood of pre-existing risk factors being misinterpreted as disease effects. </p><p>We identified significant longitudinal effects when comparing the two groups, including </p><p>(1) a greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus; </p><p>(2) greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions that are functionally connected to the primary olfactory cortex; and </p><p>(3) a greater reduction in global brain size&nbsp;in the SARS-CoV-2 cases. </p><p>The participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 also showed on average a greater cognitive decline between the two time points. </p><p>Importantly, these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still observed after excluding the 15 patients who had been hospitalised. </p><p>These mainly limbic brain imaging results may be the in vivo hallmarks of a degenerative spread of the disease through olfactory pathways, <br>of neuroinflammatory events, <br>or of the loss of sensory input due to anosmia. </p><p>Whether this deleterious effect can be partially reversed, or whether these effects will persist in the long term, remains to be investigated with additional follow-up.</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04569-5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s41586-022</span><span class="invisible">-04569-5</span></a></p>
