Arbacia Dufresnii). But to this we add that the concept, development and scientific tests that confirm its positive effects in patients diagnosed with “Long Covid” were carried out by a group of researchers from Conicet that, in this process, also They founded the first technology company that worked in Patagonia.

The authorities do not like this

Professional and critical journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. That is the reason why he always annoys those who believe that they are the true riches.

“After many years of isolating these materials and processing them, we managed to Test its effects in a group of 50 patients affected by “Covid long”. who are treated in the Santojanni, Ramos Mejía and Muñiz de Caba hospitals,” Rubilar told this newspaper after the presentation ceremony chaired by Conicet, the National Institute of Science and Technology and the the regional authority of Chubut, where the science institute. responsible for the operating system.

Him”Covid is long“is a condition that doctors describe as well symptoms such as fatigue, respiratory, neurological, cognitive, neurological disorders and other forms that affect the quality of life of these patients.
