Some long Covid patients may have hidden damage to their lungs - BBC News
42,772 views • Jan 29, 2022 • Some people with long Covid may have hidden damage to their lungs, a small pilot study in the UK suggests.
Scientists used a novel xenon gas scan method to pick up lung abnormalities not identified by routine scans.
They focused on 11 people who had not required hospital care when they first caught Covid but experienced long-lasting breathlessness after their initial infection.
A larger, more detailed study is under way to confirm the results.

China placed the 17.5 million residents of Shenzhen into lockdown for at least a week, spurring a key Apple Inc. supplier to halt production in the vital technology hub, and forbid people from leaving Jilin, the first time an entire province has been sealed off since the dramatic lockdown of Wuhan and its surrounds in 2020. The Shenzhen lockdown, which came after new virus cases doubled nationwide to nearly 3,400, will be accompanied by three rounds of city-wide, mass testing. Called with little notice on Sunday, the order followed earlier restrictions placed on Shenzhen’s central business district, and will last until March 20. All bus and subway systems in the city were shut, and businesses, except those providing essential services, have been closed. Employees were told to work from home if they can. Residents will be barred from leaving the city -- home to the headquarters of tech giants Huawei Technologies Co. and Tencent Holdings Ltd., as well as one of China’s busiest ports -- except in limited situations. Shenzhen Yantian Port remains operational, though with tighter Covid controls. Apple supplier Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., known as Foxconn, said it was halting operations at its Shenzhen sites, one of which makes iPhones. The company, which has its China HQ in the city, didn’t specify the length of the shutdown, though said it would reallocate production to other plants in the country. In Jilin, a province of 24 million that borders Russia and North Korea in China’s northeast, people have been asked not to leave or travel, particularly those in the provincial capital of Changchun and the city of Jilin, where the majority of infections have been found. Changchun was already locked down last week, forcing Toyota Motor Corp. to suspend the operation of its plant there.
