Doctors from NYU Langone Medical Center: Langone This study provides the first in vivo evidence that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in therapeutic management for COVID-19.

-

Abstract:
Background: COVID-19 has rapidly emerged as a pandemic infection that has caused significant mortality and economic losses. Potential therapies and means of prophylaxis against COVID-19 are urgently needed to combat this novel infection. As a result of in vitro evidence suggesting zinc sulfate may be efficacious against COVID-19, our hospitals began using zinc sulfate as add-on therapy to hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. We performed a retrospective observational study to compare hospital outcomes among patients who received hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin plus zinc versus hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin alone. Methods: Data was collected from electronic medical records for all patients being treated with admission dates ranging from March 2, 2020 through April 5, 2020. Initial clinical characteristics on presentation, medications given during the hospitalization, and hospital outcomes were recorded. Patients in the study were excluded if they were treated with other investigational medications. Results: The addition of zinc sulfate did not impact the length of hospitalization, duration of ventilation, or ICU duration. In univariate analyses, zinc sulfate increased the frequency of patients being discharged home, and decreased the need for ventilation, admission to the ICU, and mortality or transfer to hospice for patients who were never admitted to the ICU. After adjusting for the time at which zinc sulfate was added to our protocol, an increased frequency of being discharged home (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12-2.09) reduction in mortality or transfer to hospice remained significant (OR 0.449, 95% CI 0.271-0.744). Conclusion: This study provides the first in vivo evidence that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in therapeutic management for COVID-19.

Does inflammation cause the reactivation of endogenous retroviruses, some with pathological potential?

-
 From Perplexity A.I. Does inflammation cause the reactivation of endogenous retroviruses, some with pathological potential? Yes, inflammation can cause the reactivation of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), and some of these reactivated ERVs have pathological potential. Multiple studies and reviews support a bidirectional relationship between inflammation and ERV expression: Triggering Reactivation: Inflammatory processes, including those linked to infections, oxidative stress, or microbiota alterations, can remove epigenetic blocks (like DNA methylation) that normally silence ERVs in the genome. Loss of these controls leads to an increase in ERV expression. Pathogenic Potential: Once reactivated, ERV transcripts and proteins can act as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), triggering the host’s innate immune response via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as TLRs, cGAS, RIG-I, and MDA5. This activation not only drives further inflammation but can also contribute to ...

  Condense Rebecca Culshaw's Substack down to her twenty most important points. Rebecca Culshaw's Substack, "The Real AIDS Epidemic," presents a critical reassessment of the mainstream HIV/AIDS narrative. Based on her writings and related content, here are her twenty most important points condensed: Mainstream HIV/AIDS theory is fundamentally flawed and relies on shaky scientific foundations. The causative role of HIV in AIDS is questioned, with Culshaw arguing that HIV may not be the sole or primary cause of AIDS. Anti-HIV drugs such as Truvada have serious risks and high failure rates, including harmful side effects and treatment inefficiencies. Use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV-negative individuals is problematic, with concerns about its logic and safety. The definition of HIV disease has shifted over time, causing confusion and inconsistency in diagnosis. Epidemiological data on HIV/AIDS infection demographics is inconsistent and often contradicted by...

" A new study finds that prior herpesvirus infections are linked to a faster age-related increase in blood biomarkers associated with dementia, even in cognitively healthy women. Researchers measured five key biomarkers in 167 women and found that seropositivity for HHVs doubled the rate of biomarker accumulation compared to those without prior infection. The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6, with amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau levels most affected. These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors."

Pigs with ASFV also develop hypovolemia?

  Do pigs with African Swine Fever develop hypovolemia? Do pigs with African Swine Fever develop hypovolemia? Pigs infected with  African Swine Fever (ASF)  commonly develop clinical signs and pathological changes highly suggestive of  hypovolemia , particularly due to the disease’s severe hemorrhagic and vascular effects. ASF causes widespread hemorrhages and vascular damage . Typical findings include petechial (pinpoint) hemorrhages in the kidneys, severe hemorrhagic lymphadenitis, pulmonary and gall bladder edema, and effusions (straw-colored or blood-stained fluid) in the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities . These extensive hemorrhages and vascular leakages can lead to a  significant loss of blood volume , resulting in classic features of hypovolemic shock—such as weakness, recumbency, prostration, incoordination, pale mucous membranes, and death from shock . The underlying mechanism is  severe disruption of blood vessels  and disseminat...

A satirical story about in which AIDS activists get involved in promoting and defending science that turns out to be totally wrong and backfires on them

Fun from Perplexity Write a satirical story about in which AIDS activists get involved in promoting and defending science that turns out to be totally wrong and backfires on them Based on the research I've conducted, I now have enough information to write a satirical story about AIDS activists getting involved in promoting and defending flawed science. I'll create a fictional story that draws inspiration from the real history of AIDS activism, medical reversals, and scientific controversies to craft a satirical narrative that explores the themes requested. The Experts Dr. Marcus Sterling adjusted his wire-rimmed glasses and surveyed the packed auditorium with satisfaction. The banner hanging behind him read "Coalition for Revolutionary AIDS Research" in bold, rainbow letters.

Ablashi discusses HHV-6, AIDS, Alzheimer's, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

-
Image
"HHV-6 is actually likely to reduce HIV patient survival by accelerating the depletion of CD4 and CD8 T cells. HHV-6A was shown to accelerate AIDS progression in macaques.  Macaques co-infected with simian HIV and HHV-6A died quickly and showed a dramatic depletion in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas those infected with only simian HIV never progressed to full blown AIDS."  "We believe that infections are the most logical explanation for the inflammation neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s , but don’t believe that there is a single pathogen responsible. HHV-6A and HHV-7 were identified as likely culprits in 2018 paper , using RNAseq analysis by Readhead and team. Two subsequent studies did not find an increase in HHV-6/7 using the same data, but at the same time did not find a significant presence of ANY herpesviruses in the brain, which we know is not the case. Dozens of careful studies have identified a high prevalence of low-level HHV-6 and HSV1 DN...
