One more nail in the coffin of the "it's just deconditioning" hypothesis. 60 days of strict bed rest ≠ #LongCOVID or #MECFS. Rob's group shows that while exercise capacity may be similarly reduced, the underlying skeletal muscle biology is VERY different. Time to move beyond outdated assumptions.

Rob Wüst • 2nd Associate Professor | Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam | Physiology | Human Movement Sciences | Metabolism | Microscopy | Chronic Diseases 4h • Edited • Connect I am incredibly proud to share our latest study, published today in Nature Communications, as a follow-up from our 2024 Nature Communications paper. https://lnkd.in/dij5WTNk People with long COVID and ME/CFS are often told that their reduced exercise capacity and muscle abnormalities are simply the result of physical inactivity or “deconditioning.” We tested this assumption by comparing patients with healthy individuals who underwent 60 days of strict bed rest. Although prolonged bed rest had major effects on physical fitness and skeletal muscle (see also: https://lnkd.in/dhx8JNQi), these changes were distinctly different from those observed in long COVID and ME/CFS. Our main conclusion: physical inactivity alone cannot explain the reduced exercise capacity and skeletal muscle abnormalities in these diseases. This is important because it shows why a simple “just exercise more” approach does not reflect the underlying biology, particularly for people who experience post-exertional malaise. We need to understand the disease-specific mechanisms and develop safe, tailored treatments.

1/ Alles, was Spahn sich bisher geleistet hat, war aus Sicht der Union "moralisch vertretbar". Dass er sich mit seinem Mann in den USA einen Frauenkörper mietete, um ein Kind zu bekommen, war nur moralisch verwerflich, weil es in D verboten ist!? Was mir bei der Debatte zu kurz kommt. 🧵

Es ist eine Absage an das Prinzip „Gesellschaft“, wenn wir jede Krise allein in „Eigenverantwortung“ lösen müssen. Das können wir nicht. Demokratische Gesellschaften sind die beste Garantie das Leben des Einzelnen zu schützen. Das solidarische Gemeinschaftsprinzip ist die beste Krisenstrategie.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.
