In many COVID-19 positive individual it is seen sudden weakness in episode and loss of control in body in episodes. what are your views
Many "scientists" nowadays think that if a phenomenon does not seem to exist, or is very rare, or ambiguous, then that just means it is "underestimated." More research is needed!
If you believe in this definition of underestimation, then I guarantee you that you will find some kind of statistical 'evidence' that is publishable. Your study would, of course, almost certainly OVERESTIMATE what your are studying, if it even exists.
Because research is never replicated properly, and "scientists" don't understand or care about falsification, then this overestimate will now become a de facto "scientific" fact.
This is a nightmare scenario in which everything is 'significant', important, and backed by peer-reviewed research showing some kind of "effect." If everything is true, important, and has an effect of some sort, then nothing does!
Amar Prashad Chaudhary, I think this scenario is the status quo in biomedical research right now. Do you agree? I would appreciate your opinion so we can have a legitimate discussion and not just throw links to papers around.
Anyway, please don't be one of those "scientists," don't look for miniscule effects, design experiments and prove that effects DON'T exist. Medical research is not a game, it is a reality of sickness and pain and death. Adding another connection to the speculative soup we live in does harm.
Among people I met and talked to, and one thing my professor also mentioned about those he had met in turn. There appear to be an unusual number of CFS (Chronic fatigue Syndrome) cases among those who have been infected by COVID-19.
But any episodal loss of body control have not been noted, that condition is however known to be associated with extreme stress. And I guess that in turn could stem from COVID-19.
The dizziness is a prominent feature among patients with covid_19 which could justify the imbalance.
Additionally, covid_19 encephalitis is another feature contributing to profound LOC
Covid 19 can effect CNS and cause various manifestations like encephalopathy, ataxia, weakness, cranial nerve palsies, GBS etc. I pediatric, we are encountering this condition. But in our centre, children are admitted with post covid neurological diseases.
Various mechanisms have been suggested including virus-induced pro-inflammatory and/or hyper-coagulable states, direct viral invasion of the CNS, and post-infectious immune- mediated processes.
