LC-19 diagnosis is currently poorly defined because of its variable, multisystem, episodic symptoms, and lack of uniformity in the critical time points associated with the disease. Considering the number of cases, workers’ compromised efficiency or inability to return to their duties can affect organizations and impact economies. LC-19 represents a significant burden on multiple levels and effectively reduces quality of life. These factors necessitate the establishment of firm parameters of diagnoses to provide a foundation for ongoing and future studies of clinical characteristics, epidemiology, risk factors, and therapy. In this scoping review, we conducted a literature search across multiple publication sites to identify papers of interest regarding the diagnosis of LC-19. We identified 225 records of interest and categorized them into seven categories. Based on our findings, there are only 11 original papers that outline the diagnostic process in detail with little overlap. This scoping review highlights the lack of consensus regarding the definition and, thereby, the LC-19 diagnosis processes. Due to no clear directive and considering the many unknowns surrounding the natural history of the disease and further recovery/sequelae from COVID-19, continued discussion and agreement on a definition/diagnosis will help future research and management of these patients.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54554,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology","volume":"182 ","pages":"Pages 1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10176974/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9871184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, 42 proteins that are linked to amyloid fibrils have been discovered. Amyloid fibril structure variation can affect the severity, progression rate, or clinical symptoms of amyloidosis. Since amyloid fibril build-up is the primary pathological basis for various neurodegenerative illnesses, characterization of these deadly proteins, particularly utilising optical techniques have been a focus. Spectroscopy techniques provide significant non-invasive platforms for the investigation of the structure and conformation of amyloid fibrils, offering a wide spectrum of analyses ranging from nanometric to micrometric size scales.
