Germany Bars Entry to Pro-Palestine Conference Attendees

German authorities barred a British Palestinian doctor from entering the country and shut down a Palestinian solidarity conference in Berlin, detaining more than a dozen attendees. The doctor, Ghassan Abu Sitta, was prevented from entering Germany and speaking at the event, while police broke up the conference, citing concerns about antisemitism. Critics argue that Germany's crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices is an attempt to stifle criticism of Israel's actions, while officials claim it is a fight against antisemitism.

Unraveling the Debilitating Effects of Long COVID and ME/CFS: Latest Research and Symptoms

New research is being conducted to understand the mechanisms behind myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and long COVID, with the goal of identifying potential treatment approaches for these overlapping illnesses. A recent conference held by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) focused on identifying targets for intervention and learning from long COVID. Research areas covered included immunology, virology, metabolism, gene regulation, and neurology. Findings suggested that oxidative stress, disruptions in the microbiome and innate immunity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, neurovascular dysregulation, and brain inflammation may play roles in both ME/CFS and long COVID. The need for increased funding for ME/CFS research was also emphasized.
