The extent of abnormalities observed was often influenced by the severity of the Covid infection the patients had experienced.
A study looking at the longer-term impact of Covid-19 has found that nearly a third of patients who were admitted to hospital with the virus had abnormalities in multiple organs five months after infection.
The findings are part of the C-MORE study, which is being led by Betty Raman, associate professor of cardiovascular medicine, University of Oxford. She added: “In patients without organ-specific comorbidities, the damage may well be due to severe Covid-19 infections. But Dr Raman said people who had been suffering with long Covid should feel hopeful that the research was ongoing, and that there were some answers.

Changing dosing methods means fewer mice needed to study lung infectionsResearchers will need fewer mice to study lung infections thanks to improvements in dosing methods, according to a new study from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Changing how animals are anesthetized and infected with microbes allows scientists to study lung infections using smaller group sizes and without having to use invasive dosing methods. The study is published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology.
