Nearly all patients at long-COVID clinic had fatigue, half slept poorlyNearly all long-COVID patients at an Ohio health system reported moderate to severe fatigue, and about half said they had serious sleep disruptions, which were up to three times more common in Black participants, according to findings presented this week at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies' annual meeting.The research abstract was published May 25 in an online supplement of Sleep.Cleveland Clinic researchers parsed data from 962 patients at the health system's COVID-19 clinic who completed the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement (PROMIS) sleep disturbance and fatigue questionnaires from February to November 2021.PROMIS scores are standardized to the US adult population on a T-scale, with sleep disturbance and fatigue scores of 60 or higher indicating at least moderate severity, and 70 or higher indicating severe impact.T-scores among the 682 patients who completed the sleep disturbance questionnaire were, on average, 57.7; 41.2% had at least moderate sleep problems, while 7.3% had severe disruptions.

The average fatigue T-score was 63.0; 68.6% had at least moderate fatigue, and 22.6% were severely fatigued.Relative to patients reporting normal or mildly disturbed sleep, those with moderate or severe impairments had a higher body mass index (BMI) (32.3 vs 30.9 kg/m2), were more likely to be of Black race (40.0 vs 41.0), and had worse scores for generalized anxiety disorder (2.8 vs 1.6) and fatigue (66.7 vs 60.4), regardless of age, sex, or infection severity.

Emmerdale's Al star swipes at BBC as he brands ITV 'poster child for Covid rules'
Emmerdale star Michael Wildman, best known for his role as Al Chapman in the ITV Dales, has taken a subtle swipe at rival channel BBC.He branded ITV the "poster channel" for Covid social distancing rules in a veiled jab at rival soaps like EastEnders.Despite his swipe, all three major soaps used distancing measures in their filming, with crew members substituting tennis balls on sticks for mouths in racy kissing scenes and employing various other camera tricks.Soap fans in particular poked fun at Tyrone's 'kiss' with Alina on the Corrie cobbles, with regular extras Alex Mulvaney and his wife Hannah stepping in as substitute stars - not too successfully.But now social distancing has been scrapped, actors can get back to some serious snogging, which Chas star Lucy Pargeter admitted was "very weird".Speaking exclusively to Daily Star and other press, she admitted of the upcoming scenes - which see Chas and Al share a snog after consoling each other about their woes: "It was very weird. "Instead of people saying, 'You can’t stand next to them, you can’t touch them, you’re too close, you’re a metre away - don’t go any closer!', now they’re saying, 'Can you just stand there literally lip to lip, and we’ll just line up the cameras?'"It’s very strange going back the other way now."Michael then agreed: "Absolutely, it was incredibly weird.
