Covid patients. The results showed that four and a half months after a mild Covid infection, patients had lost (on average) between 0.2 and 2% of brain volume, as compared to healthy people.

In addition to this, they also took between 8 and 12% longer on the tests that measured attention, visual screening ability, and processing speed.

In the region of the brain linked to smell, the Covid-19 patients had 0.7% more tissue damage compared to healthy people. This is part of a growing body of research that suggests that people who have recovered from Covid-19, including patients with milder symptoms, may struggle with cognitive functions.

Recently, a study published in the journal eClinicalMedicine suggested that a severe Covid-19 infection may cause cognitive impairment similar to that sustained with 20 years of ageing, between 50 and 70 years of age.

As COVID-19 begins to diminish, more Canadians are getting sick with the flu

COVID-19 cases are on the decline, but more and more Canadians are getting sick with the flu across the country, Canada’s top public health officer said Friday.“We’re seeing influenza activity increasing up to the seasonal threshold despite the opposite trends being expected this time of year,” Dr. Theresa Tam, the nation’s chief public health officer,told reporters during a federal COVID-19 update.Without many COVID-19 health mandates like masking in effect in most places across the country, cases of the flu have increased, according to Tam.“One of the things we’ve learned about the use of public health measures for COVID-19 in the past two years is that they were also effective in reducing the prevalence of other infectious diseases.

Eagles Autism Challenge returns for 5th year to raise millions for autism research and care

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles Autism Challenge kicked off its fifth year of fundraising and races with a party at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday. Executive Director of the Eagles Autism Foundation Ryan Hammond said the charitable effort raised $4M this year for autism research and care. "The fact that every dollar is going into autism research and care is transformational," Hammond said. The Philadelphia Orchestra played a sensory-friendly performance at The Linc on Friday night. Cycling races of three different varieties will begin Saturday morning, followed by a 5K run-walk.Anna Henderson and her family from Wallingford will walk Saturday to support her 8-year-old son Josh who was diagnosed with autism at 3."I definitely don’t think Josh would be where he is today if he hadn’t had the diagnosis from CHOP therapies he’s received from local organizations, and they wouldn’t be able to do that without the funding received from the foundation," Anna said. To date, the foundation has raised more than $16M, but the Eagles' autism advocacy doesn't stop there.

What experts say about the hangover 'cure'"I expected differences in both alcohol and marijuana use among two- and four-year college students, but was surprised by the magnitude of the differences given that the subjects are the same ages," said Jennifer Duckworth, an assistant professor at WSU and lead author of the paper.More research is needed to understand why, Duckworth said, but "perceptions of peer use" could be a contributing factor.RELATED: Frequent marijuana use may lead to higher risk of heart disease, study finds"Specifically, four-year students thought their peers drank more than two-year students believed their peers drank, whereas two-year students thought that their peers used cannabis more than four-year students thought their peers did," researchers said.The study’s authors admit it’s harder to examine two-year college students because they vary more in age and work status and are more likely to be from racial and ethnic minority groups.

Not enough Americans taking advantage of government assistance to pay COVID-19 funeral costs

(Photo by Brendan Smialowski / AFP) (Photo by BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images) WASHINGTON - The federal government has provided more than $2 billion to help cover funeral costs for more than 300,000 families of people who have died from COVID-19, yet not enough people either know about the access to funding or have applied to get help.According to a report from Kaiser Health News, fewer than half of eligible families have even begun their applications to cover funeral costs, something that has been provided for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) since April 2021. On average, the families that have received funding have obtained an average of $6,500, yet many families are still unaware that the money is still available. To solve this problem, FEMA said in March that it is launching a new campaign to raise awareness about the aid to eligible families. The number of people killed by COVID-19 in the United States reached 1 million, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University on May 18.While the average amount awarded per death is $6,500, according to FEMA, the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program provides up to $9,000 per funeral and covers COVID-19 related deaths since Jan.

His goal was to walk across seven continents by 2020, but he hit some speed bumps after he came down with a bacterial infection while traveling through South America. The infection kept him off his feet through the fall of 2016 as he returned to New Jersey. "I lost about 45 pounds and was just in agony all of the time," Tom recalled.
