Omicron 5, lung function impaired in hospitalized patients – Health and Wellness

ROMA. Subjects hospitalized for Omicron 5 showed impaired endothelial function three months after the acute phase with impaired lung function. This is what emerges from a study conducted by the Day Hospital unit of Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic Foundation of Rome on 658 patients, observing a direct correlation between the increased risk of endothelial dysfunction and the severity of the infection.

The research was presented at the International Conference on Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle Loss, held June 24-26 in Lisbon.

The endothelium, tissue of cells that line the internal walls of the heart and vessels, modulates platelet aggregation, coagulation processes, contributes to innate immunity, reduces inflammation, regulates vascular resistance, protects by antioxidants from the effect harmful to oxygen free radicals, it is therefore essential to preserve and improve its function.

The results of an experiment conducted by the Day Hospital unit of the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome were also presented: it was possible to evaluate the effects of L-arginine and liposomal vitamin C supplementation on functional parameters in adult subjects with long covid. It significantly improves walking performance, muscle strength and reduces the feeling of asthenia or fatigue.

Another research from King’s College London, the results of which were published in The Lancet, shows that one in 23 people who contract the Omicron 5 variant continues to have symptoms for more than 4 weeks.
