Why do patients with long COVID have such a wide array of symptoms affecting so many bodily systems? That bedeviling question is the focus of this episode of Raise the Line featuring Dr. Resia Pretorius, head of the Department of Physiological Sciences at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and a renowned researcher in coagulation. “The underlying concept of what is happening, in our minds, is that long COVID is a widespread vascular endotheliitis, which is driven by the presence of all sorts of inflammatory molecules in circulation,” she tells host Dr. Raven Baxter of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness (CoRE). Because endothelial cells line blood vessels that travel to every part of the body, their impairment produces a range of symptoms. Dr. Pretorius and her research colleagues have discovered that “microclots” – abnormal proteins that prevent clots from breaking down – are another ingredient in the long COVID recipe due to their possible role in reducing oxygen flow to the brain and other organs. Because of their unusual structure, microclots are not detected by customary blood tests, leading Dr. Pretorius to add her voice to the chorus of stakeholders calling for the development of new diagnostic tests and additional treatments. “We need a concerted effort for trials. We need FDA approval for the laboratory test that we developed. I’m confident we will get it done, but it will take time, which is sad.” Tune in to learn about the possible causes of microclots, promising research on anticoagulation therapy and why long COVID is not a “checklist” disease, as our special series on post-acute infection syndromes continues.     Mentioned in this episode:  Mount Sinai Health System (www.mountsinai.org)  Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation (www.stevenandalex.org)     Listen to today's episode of Raise the Line: https://lnkd.in/ekPGTPFG

In a word cloud generated from this episode of Raise the Line, ‘communication’ would dominate: communication between the immune system, nervous system and connective tissue; communication between patients and providers; and communication among providers to solve challenging diagnostic puzzles. As our special series on post-acute infection syndromes continues, host Raven Baxter, Ph.D. of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness is joined by neurologist Dr. Ilene Ruhoy, immunologist Dr. Anne Maitland and physical therapist Dr. Valerie Iovine Rogers to unravel the interconnectedness at work in these diseases and reveal key insights about caring for patients. “In the complex disease world, there isn’t a nice protocol that we have in other parts of medicine, so it takes a lot of listening and a lot of trial and error,” says Dr. Ruhoy. “The most important thing is to continue digging into that story and building that practitioner-patient relationship so that there's trust there,” adds Dr. Maitland. All agree that a lack of specialists in mast cell activation syndrome, hypermobility disorders and related areas puts a premium on developing referral networks so that diagnostic roadblocks do not end the search for answers. “It really harps on the importance of an interdisciplinary care team where all of us have to communicate with one another and educate the patient so they know what they're advocating for and where they need to go,” Dr. Rogers explains. Don’t miss this instructive conversation on both the art of patient care and the science of these often debilitating illnesses.    Mentioned in this episode: Mount Sinai Health System (www.mountsinai.org)   Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation (www.stevenandalex.org)   Listen to today’s episode of Raise the Line: https://lnkd.in/gDNBGXZW
