Health › Covid-19: Scientists Warn Of Potential Wave Of Covid-linked Brain Damage by temblor1(op): 3:15pm On Jul 08, 2020 |
LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists warned on Wednesday of a potential wave of coronavirus-related brain damage as new evidence suggested COVID-19 can lead to severe neurological complications, including inflammation, psychosis and delirium. A study by researchers at University College London (UCL)described 43 cases of patients with COVID-19 who suffered either temporary brain dysfunction, strokes, nerve damage or other serious brain effects. The research adds to recent studies which also found the disease can damage the brain. "Whether we will see an epidemic on a large scale of brain damage linked to the pandemic – perhaps similar to the encephalitis lethargica outbreak in the 1920s and 1930s after the 1918 influenza pandemic – remains to be seen," said Michael Zandi, from UCL's Institute of Neurology, who co-led the study. COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, is largely a respiratory illness that affects the lungs, but neuroscientists and specialist brain doctors say emerging evidence of its impact on the brain is concerning. "My worry is that we have millions of people with COVID-19 now. And if in a year's time we have 10 million recovered people, and those people have cognitive deficits ... then that's going to affect their ability to work and their ability to go about activities of daily living," Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist at Western University in Canada, told Reuters in an interview. In the UCL study, published in the journal Brain, nine patients who had brain inflammation were diagnosed with a rare condition called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which is more usually seen in children and can be triggered by viral infections. The team said it would normally see about one adult patient with ADEM per month at their specialist London clinic, but this had risen to at least one a week during the study period, something they described as "a concerning increase". "Given that the disease has only been around for a matter of months, we might not yet know what long-term damage COVID-19 can cause," said Ross Paterson, who co-led the study. "Doctors need to be aware of possible neurological effects, as early diagnosis can improve patient outcomes." Owen said the emerging evidence underlined the need for large, detailed studies and global data collection to assess how common such neurological and psychiatric complications were. He is running a international research project at covidbrainstudy.com where patients can sign up to complete a series of cognitive tests to see whether their brain functions have altered since getting COVID-19. "This disease is affecting an enormous number of people," Owen said. "That's why it's so important to collect this information now." https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN24837S

Nowenuse: Girei is 50-50. The Bachamas, Mbulas and other tribes there are Christians while the fulanis and Hausa settlers are Muslims.
Mubi north rural is dominated by Fali people and they are overwhelmingly Christian while Mubi town is around a 50-50.
Mubi south is slightly Christian majority cos the Gude people who are the majority there are like 65% Christian.
Yola south is Muslim majority no argument, but it is only because of old Yola town.
Yola north (Jimeta) the state capital is a clear 50-50 or even slight Christian majority sef. It's just that majority of the Christians in Yola north are settlers so they do not struggle for the politics there, unlike the Fulanis/Muslims do. The Laka people who are the original owners of Yola north are Christian, but they are small in number.
Fufore is 50-50 or slightly Muslim majority. Muslims who are mostly fulanis should have been a minority in Fufore if not for the huge number of Hausa settlers immigrants there. The Verre, Batta and others who originally own Fufore are Christians.
Muslims are not even up to 30% in Mayo. The current senator for Adamawa south, Binos Yaroe is from Mayo. If not that Yandang people are peaceful and not as deadly as Bachama people, they would have united the smaller tribes like Satte, Kugamma and Mumbake and evict fulanis from Mayo LGA. Fulanis only dominate Mayo town and a few other settlements in Mayo Belwa. Have u ever travelled from Yola to Jalingo? How many Muslims do you see in all those dozens of villages you pass from Ngurore before you get to Zing in Taraba state? Almost none.
Ganye, Toungo & Song are clear majority Christian. It is Jada where Atiku comes from that has a lot of fulani settlers. Even at that, Chambas outnumber Fulanis in Jada cos it is Chamba land. The only thing is that Chambas are like 35% Muslims, so when you add Chamba Muslims and fulanis in Jada the Muslims become like 50-55%. But in Ganye & Toungo, the fulanis are few, so Christians clearly dominate the population here.
Song is like 80% Christian tribes and 20% fulanis. The Yungurrs are the majority in Song. They are also a weak tribe like the Yandangs if not they would have also evicted Fulanis and Muslims from that LGA. However, they (Yungurrs) have collected political power from the fulani minority in Song.
Maiha is dominated by the Nzanyi and Nzanyi people are 50-50. That is where Bindowo the former governor comes from. Fulani settlers added together with the Nzanyi Muslims gives Muslims 60% in Maiha LGA, so, yes Maiha is Muslim majority but slightly.
There are 6 LGAs in Adamawa state that are over 90% Christian in population and these are Numan, Lamurde, Demsa, Guyuk and Michika. The tribes that make up these places are 99% Christian and they are very strong, so they easily evict Muslims and fulanis whenever the need arises.
Apart from Yola south, can you show me any LGA in Adamawa state that is up to 70% muslim? It does not exist.
Yes! Fulanis are the largest single tribe in Adamawa state, but they are not more than 20% of the state! The other tribes make up 80% of the state put together and they are overwhelmingly Christian. The day all these tribes will come together and say enough to the Fulanis, that will be the end. Fulanis do not make up to 50% in any LGA in Adamawa state apart from Yola south. They are settlers in Adamawa and are completely surrounded on every angle by Christian tribes.
Fulanis feel important in Adamawa because Adamawa tribes are fragmented. If you add Bachama & Batta together who speak the same language, they match fulanis in number. If you add Kilbas & Marghis who speak a similar language, they match fulanis in number.
In Taraba, fulanis are put where they belong because more than 10 different tribes are united under one umbrella as Jukuns.
If you want to know more about Adamawa, ask questions from different sources. Don't rely on what people tell you.
Christians outnumber muslims 65:35 in Adamawa just that the Fulanis are one single tribe and make up majority of the Muslim population there, so they are more resolute and have been wise from the beginning. But even at that they have produced only 1 governor in the state who did not even finish his tenure.
Indigene muslims are the ones dominating Adamawa now because they are in the middle between the Indigene Christians and fulani muslims, but they know that the Christians are their support base, just like the present governor who got 90% of his votes from Christians and therefore favoured Christians over fulanis in appointment.
