Oxford University research found that COVID-19 may accelerate brain atrophy. Why is there a correlation between the two?

According to the latest research of Oxford University, some viral substances in COVID-19 may cause some parts of the brain to shrink. The researchers said that there was no definite connection between COVID-19 and the brain, but after comparison, it was found that COVID-19 virus might cause abnormalities in the central nervous system. At the same time, some patients with mild COVID-19's disease may have problems of decreased attention and memory, especially those who have been infected with COVID-19 virus for a long time. It's hard to keep concentration and very easy to get tired. At present, it is called brain fog, which is a long-term symptom of lung inflammation in COVID-19.

The harm of COVID-19

It has been three years since the development of COVID-19, and patients who have experienced long-term symptoms of COVID-19 have been studied. COVID-19's diagnosis will do some harm to important organs of the body, such as systemic system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, skin system and digestive system. The most common symptoms of patients are fatigue and physical fatigue, which will aggravate the symptoms and may cause some cognitive dysfunction. There are also some problems that can lead to skin itching, palpitations, herpes zoster, diarrhea, tinnitus and other immune decline.

COVID-19's route of transmission

Novel coronavirus's route of transmission is mainly through contact and direct transmission, as well as the direct transmission of aerosol, which mainly means that patients cough through talking, and the exhaled gas directly pollutes the environment at close range, leading to infection. Aerosol infection mainly refers to the infection caused by droplets mixing in the air to form aerosol. At the same time, contact transmission mainly refers to the infection caused by some droplets covering the surface of objects and then being contaminated by others.

Finally, COVID-19 is very harmful, especially the mutated strain is very harmful to human body, so we must do our own protection, improve our immunity in daily life and wear masks when going out.
