New York, April 2 (Ians) Sars-CoV-2 infection is not alone behind long Covid conditions, psychosocial factors such as low physical activity and loneliness may also contribute, according to a study led by an international team of researchers.
The World Health Organisation (Who) defines post-Covid-19 condition (Pcc) as the persistence of symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnoea, and what is commonly referred to as “brain fog” occurring three months or longer after infection with Sars-CoV-2.
The study, published in the Jama Network Open, showed that the prevalence of long Covid conditions was equally high among people without a history of mild Sars-CoV-2 infection, suggesting contributions of other factors.
The prevalence of Pcc six months after acute Covid was approximately 50 per cent, but was equally high in a control group of comparable Sars-CoV-2-negative individuals (47 per cent).
Acute Covid was not an independent risk factor for Pcc, the researchers said, noting that low physical...

When film editor Jennifer Lame called filmmaker Kenneth Longeran last year to discuss the possibility of working on his newest film, “Manchester By the Sea,” she saw potential in the project — and also potential to screw it up.
“I had heard for a while that Kenny was making a movie, and I was really excited to see if I could try to get involved in it,” Lame recently explained to IndieWire. “When I read the script, I was like, ‘Wow, this is such a great movie for an editor, because it’s so well-written and so well-constructed on the page, but it could totally get fucked up in the editing.'”
The film follows Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) as he attempts to rebuild his already-fragile existence after the sudden death of his beloved big brother, Joe (Kyle Chandler). Forced to return back to his hometown — which holds other tragic connotations...

Might Dancing With the Stars be getting a little ahead of itself?
Even though last week’s Season 21 premiere featured a handful of good, if not excellent, performances, it also left me feeling like the newest batch of contestants have a lot of work to do if they want to match last season’s impressive competitors.
That’s why I’m puzzled by Dancing‘s approach to Week 2, which already has the dancers performing two routines in one week, spread out across broadcasts on Monday and Tuesday. Perhaps it’s merely a scheduling hiccup on ABC’s end that’s...

After a slow start to 2015 (anniversary special excluded), the last two weeks of “Saturday Night Live” have been a return to form. Both the Dwayne Johnson and Michael Keaton episodes were excellent, now the show has the chance to complete the trifecta with Taraji P. Henson as host. There’s bound to be at least one “Empire”-centric sketch tonight (probably involving musical guest Mumford & Sons, because why not), but personally? I’m hoping Taran Killam gets to bust out his amazing Brad Pitt impression opposite Henson in a parody of “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.” (Those banking on a “Person Of Interest" parody might be disappointed.) Still, there’s far more than parodies planned tonight, and as per usual, I’ll be covering them in liveblog form. Follow along starting at 11:30 pm Est, and leave your comments throughout the show as I grade each segment in real time.

Director Spike Lee elaborated on the recent outcry against casting descriptions for his planned remake of the Oldboy film, titled Old Boy, to avoid the confusion. In an interview posted on Moviefone’s website on Wednesday, Lee confirmed that the previously unverified casting call was real but ‘worded poorly.’ Lee said that although he did not write the casting call descriptions, he had to take the blame for them.
“So we’ve rectified the situation … We had to take them to the woodshed,” Lee explained.
The Angry Asian Man blog posted the following casting call for Old Boy:
Wallace Sharkey Male, 60ish, Caucasian. Joe’s well-tailored, slickster boss.
Donna Hawthorne Female, Mid 20s, Caucasian. Joe’s ex-wife and mother of Mia. Once a homecoming queen, now a stripped down hardworking single mom.
Dave Berman Mid 40s to 50s. African-American. Shlubby, but very welthy businessman. Joe hits on his much younger girlfriend.

Below, first-time director Jake Yuzna shares a scene from his 2009 Berlinale Teddy Award-winning feature film "Open." It holds the distinction of being the only American film to ever receive the Best Feature Teddy Award; the film also received a Best Actor award at NewFest for its actor Morty Diamond. The film just came out on DVD through an Ariztical Films release. What's it about? The film interlocks several story lines to tell the tales of Gene and Jay -- two transwomen who, inspired by the rocker Genesis Breyer P-Orridge go through rigorous plastic surgery and hope to achieve their pandrogynous ideal. Syd, a Ftm trans guy, is also developing a relationship with his cisgendered boyfriend. The scene: Behind the scene: Open is as much an ode to those who, by choice or force, challenge the status quo, as it is an attempt to break down and rearrange culture in its own right.

Charlie Sheen’s ex files a restraining order and attempts to get custody from the actor
Update: TMZ is reporting Brooke Mueller filed for a restraining order against her ex, Charlie Sheen. “The order requires Charlie to stay 100 yards away from Brooke and have no contact with her,” the story says. Apparently, Brooke asked for her lawyer to get an emergency order without even consulting Charlie. Charlie’s response? “Great. I was already planning on staying 100 parsecs away from her.” Yikes!

We haven't mentioned the Berlinale at all in the heat of Oscar week. So let's do that, shall we? Better late than never. The festival closes tomorrow but the awards were handed out over the past two days.
"Nader and Simin: A Separation" Golden Bear
Asghar Fahradi, who got a lot of Oscar buzz a couple years back (though no nomination) for About Elly, won this year's Golden Bear for Nader & Simin: A Separation (2011). The Hollywood Reporter explains the film like so.
Farhadi's drama traces the breakup of a Iranian family set against the political tensions in Tehran. While not overtly political, Nader and Simin is starkly critical of conditions in Iran, notably the country's huge class divide. It was widely tipped to win Berlin's top prize, not least because of the current upheaval in the Middle East.
Fahradi dedicated his prize to jailed filmmaker Jafar Panihi who was also...

Sometimes, apples land close to the tree, and although they never lived in the same town, Re-animator and From Beyond producer Brian Yuzna’s young nephew Jake Yuzna is carving his own path in creative cinema with his first feature film Open, based on the lives of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV founder Genesis Breyer P-orridge and his late partner Lady Jaye and their mission to fuse together into one being through mental, emotional and physical handiwork. Most sadly as Lady Jaye died several years ago, P-orridge adopted Lady Jaye’s family name of Breyer and continues the work, referring to their living joint creation as “we,” rather than “I.” The film follows a fictional couple based on Gen and Jaye as they explore pandrogeny, with a cast including a transexual, intersexual and queer actors.

With Berlinale wrapped, let's take one last looksie at random celebs working the premieres and photo ops. Part of our irregular red carpet lineup tradition. And then the awardage.
From left to right: I didn't know what Michael Winterbottom looked like, so I've included him here. He's a boyish 48. I think his career is pretty fascinating because it covers so much global ground and differing genre terrain. He's so prolific while still making intelligent films. I'm impatient so prolific works for me. That said, his new noir The Killer Inside Me might be one I'll have to skip. If festival types are so horrified by the violence I'm sure it's more than I can take.
Julianne Moore looking foxy on her way to fifty. She's gone a bit goth here with smoky eyes, black dress and black fingernails. More on her in a bit.
Two-time Oscar nominee Isabelle Adjani, who hasn't been working much,...

Berlin -- The Berlin film festival's Panorama sidebar is coming back loud and proud this year with a lineup packed with films examining gender identity and the gay movement.
The 2010 Panorama opens Feb. 11 with the Russian film "Jolly Fellows," director Felix Mikhailov's look at the drag queen subculture of a Moscow club.
This year's lineup also features Cheryl Dunye's thriller "The Owls," in which aging lesbians try to get away with murder; and Jake Yuzna's "Open," a series of intertwined love stories featuring gay and trans-gendered partners.
Several of Panorama's documentary selections explores related themes -- such as Crayton Robery's "Making The Boys" about Matt Crowley's ground breaking gay play "The Boys in the Band;" "Cuchillo de Palo," Renate Costa's expose of persecution of homosexuals during the Paraguayan dictatorship and the German doc "Rock Hudson – Dark and Handsome Stranger" from directors Andrew Davies and Andre Schaefer.
