People with Long Covid and ME/CFS Exhibit Similarly Impaired Balance and Physical Capacity: A Case-Case-Control Study (2023)
Journal Article
Hayes, L. D., Sanal-Hayes, N. E., Mclaughlin, M., Berry, E. C., & Sculthorpe, N. F. (2023). People with Long Covid and ME/CFS Exhibit Similarly Impaired Balance and Physical Capacity: A Case-Case-Control Study. American Journal of Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjmed.2023.06.028

Purpose: Postural sway and physical capacity had not previously been compared between people with long COVID and people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Therefore, this study determined postural sway and physical capa...

A Cross-Sectional Study of Symptom Prevalence, Frequency, Severity, and Impact of Long COVID in Scotland: Part II (2023)
Journal Article
Mclaughlin, M., Cerexhe, L., Macdonald, E., Ingram, J., Sanal-Hayes, N. E., Hayes, L. D., …Sculthorpe, N. (2023). A Cross-Sectional Study of Symptom Prevalence, Frequency, Severity, and Impact of Long COVID in Scotland: Part II. American Journal of Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjmed.2023.07.009

Background: There has been some effort to map the prevalence, frequency, and severity of symptoms of long COVID at local and national levels. However, what is frequently absent from such accounts is details of the impact the disease and its symptoms...

Ex Vivo treatment of coronary artery endothelial cells with serum post-exercise training offers limited protection against in vitro exposure to FEC-T chemotherapy (2023)
Journal Article
Mclaughlin, M., Hesketh, K. L., Horgan, S. L., Florida-James, G., Cocks, M., Strauss, J. A., & Ross, M. (2023). Ex Vivo treatment of coronary artery endothelial cells with serum post-exercise training offers limited protection against in vitro exposure to FEC-T chemotherapy. Frontiers in Physiology, 14, Article 1079983. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2023.1079983

Background: Chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer associates with well-documented cardiovascular detriments. Exercise has shown promise as a potentially protective intervention against cardiac toxicity. However, there is a paucity of evidence for...
