Doctors looking at the effects of COVID-19 on the brain
Doctors are discovering the effects of COVID-19 on the brain and how inflammation from the virus plays a role.
맥스카지노There맥스카지노s some conditions that맥스카지노s thought to be the virus itself affecting the brain, and then there맥스카지노s many other things that맥스카지노s from the immune system, our own bodies, mechanisms against COVID-19 attacking the brain,맥스카지노 said Danny Samkutty, a neurologist at OU Health in Oklahoma City.
Samkutty said although cases surrounding direct effects on the brain are rare, over the past year, they맥스카지노ve seen more and more reports coming in.
맥스카지노It seems to overall affect the lungs more, but when it does affect the brain directly, one of the theories is that it can go directly through the nasal cavity and reach the brain that way,맥스카지노 Samkutty said. 맥스카지노The vast majority of the more serious ones happens in patients that have to be hospitalized, either just in normal room or intensive care unit. But there are patients who may not have been very sick from COVID or who are just asymptomatic or even if they have serious infection, that can also develop neurological symptoms down the line.맥스카지노
Signs to look out for include impaired memory and poor concentration. Samkutty said you shouldn맥스카지노t chance it and should call a doctor if you're feeling off.
He added that the best way to protect yourself is by continuing to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and getting vaccinated.
맥스카지노Many of the conditions that are in the brain are conditions that already exist that aren맥스카지노t specific to COVID,맥스카지노 Samkutty said. 맥스카지노But once we diagnose it, then we can discuss specific treatment for it.맥스카지노
