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.

Perplexity on Rebecca Culshaw Smith, and PrEP as Genocide

-
  Rebecca Culshaw’s Substack articles establish a foundation for arguing that the mass promotion and use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in HIV prevention could be considered a form of “genocide,” rooted in several lines of critique that challenge both the scientific and ethical underpinnings of the intervention. ​ Critique of Efficacy Claims Culshaw repeatedly questions the reliability of the efficacy data cited for PrEP, especially the widely publicized claim of “99% effectiveness.” She critiques the primary studies behind this figure, particularly the UK “Impact Trial,” highlighting that its actual observed efficacy was only 86%, and that even this figure is derived from retrospective, less scientifically rigorous analysis. She emphasizes that PrEP, to justify the aggressive and potentially coercive marketing campaigns behind it, should meet a much higher bar of evidence given its target population often consists of healthy individuals.

Groq on Hannah Arendt and science

-
  From Groq: Wouldn't Hannah Arendt argue that terms like "scientific consensus" reveal that science is fundamentally a political matter? Hannah Arendt, a philosopher and political theorist, would likely argue that the concept of a "scientific consensus" reveals that science is fundamentally a political matter. In her book "The Human Condition", Arendt argues that science is not a neutral or objective pursuit, but rather a human activity that is shaped by political and social factors. Arendt would argue that the concept of a "scientific consensus" is a product of the modern scientific era, which is characterized by the rise of professionalized science and the increasing importance of scientific expertise in shaping public policy. She would argue that the concept of a "scientific consensus" is a way of legitimizing scientific knowledge and authority, and of creating a sense of shared understanding and agreement among scientists.

Perplexity on K.S. and AIDS and inflammation

-
  Discuss the issue of K.S. happening despite ART use Kaposi sarcoma (KS) can and does occur in people living with HIV, even when they are on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). While ART has dramatically reduced the incidence and severity of KS, several important points explain why KS still happens despite ART use: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS): Some individuals develop KS or see it worsen shortly after starting ART, in what is known as KS-IRIS. This is thought to be due to immune system recovery leading to a paradoxical inflammatory response, which can unmask or exacerbate KS—even when HIV viral load drops and CD4 counts begin to rise. Rapidly disseminated or aggressive KS has been reported in these cases, sometimes within months of starting ART. Persistent Risk Despite Good Immune Recovery: Studies have documented cases of KS in patients who maintain undetectable HIV viral loads and normal CD4 counts for years. This includes long-term HIV survivors and o...

One of the most important papers ever published on HHV-6

-
http://www.journalofclinicalvirology.com/article/S1386-6532%2809%2900194-2/abstract Conclusion These results imply that HHV-6A, either in latent form or during acute infection, directly transactivates HERV-K18. This HERV-K18 induction may be mediated through IFN-α that is produced by the HHV-6A-infected cells. The functional implications of superantigen expression are discussed. Wikipedia on Superantigen: Superantigens (SAgs) are a class of antigens which cause non-specific activation of T-cells resulting in polyclonal T cell activation and massive cytokine release. SAgs can be produced by pathogenic microbes (including viruses , mycoplasma , and bacteria ) [1] as a defense mechanism against the immune system. [2] Compared to a normal antigen -induced T-cell response where .0001-.001% of the body’s T-cells are activated, these SAgs are capable of activating up to 25% of the body’s T-cells.

HHV-6 and Male infertility (from Perplexity)

  Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men Make the case that HHV-6 may be responsible for the fertility problems in men There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may play a role in male fertility problems. Here is the case based on recent research findings: Prevalence in Semen and Sperm Binding:  Studies have identified HHV-6A/B in approximately 13.5% of semen samples from healthy sperm donors, a prevalence higher than that of most other herpesviruses in semen. Importantly, HHV-6B has been shown to specifically bind to the acrosome—the cap-like structure on the head of sperm. This means that the virus can directly interact with sperm cells and potentially travel with them into the female reproductive tract. Potential Mechanisms of Fertility Impairment:  The binding of HHV-6 to the sperm acrosome suggests the existence of a receptor for the virus on sperm, raising the possibility that this interact...

"Kaposi Sarcoma and HIV have a weak relationship"

-
  The Relationship Between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma Topic:  Health & Medicine   Words: 1112   Pages: 4   Apr 22nd, 2022 Explanation of Main Results This paper investigated the nature of the relationship between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. The findings of this paper showed that rare skin cancer was the HIV-defining condition in only 48.7% of the cases sampled. Comparatively, 51.3% of the cases sampled did not show a direct correlation between HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. These details emerged in the case study summary, which showed that the percentage of female participants suffering from HIV disease, but did not have Kaposi Sarcoma was 60.5%. This is a relatively larger percentage of people compared to 39.5% of people who suffered from HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma. Comparatively, an analysis of male respondents showed a different pattern because there were higher percentages of people (57.5%) who suffered from HIV and Kaposi Sarcoma, as opposed to the number of people who su...

  HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen Albert K. Taia, Janos Lukab, Dharam Ablashi, Brigitte T. Huber published online 08 June 2009. Abstract Background The human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) encodes a superantigen that causes deregulation of the immune system. This provirus is transcriptionally silent, but can be induced by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and IFN-α treatment. Objectives Since the herpesvirus EBV induces HERV-K18 expression in human B cells, it was of interest to determine if other herpesviruses would have similar HERV-K18 transactivation properties. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A, a neurotropic virus associated with multiple sclerosis, was a logical candidate for these studies. Study design HSB2 cells (HHV-6-negative control), HSB2-ML cells (containing latent HHV-6A genome) and HSB2/HHV-6A cells (HSB-2 cells productively infected with HHV-6A) were compared for their level of HERV-K18 transcription, using quantitative RT...
