The Common Cold ETIOLOGY and EPIDEMIOLOGY The common cold is caused by a multitude of organisms. 90 percent of the cases of the common cold are due to viruses. Table 21-1 contains a list of the organisms that cause the common cold. The common cold is worldwide in it's distribution and is spread person-to-person. Most commonly the viruses are spread during hand-to-hand contact (shaking hands, etc.). The average child (less than 5 years of age) will get 5-7 colds per year and the average adult will get 1-2 colds per year.

The common cold, also known as a viral upper respiratory tract infection, is a contagious illness that can be caused by a number of different types of viruses. Because of the great number of viruses that can cause a cold, the body never builds up resistance against all of them. For this reason, colds are a frequent and recurring problem. In fact, on average, preschool children have 9 colds a year; those in kindergarten, 12 colds a year; and adolescents and adults, 7 colds per year. What are the symptoms of the common cold? Symptoms of a common cold include nasal stuffiness and drainage, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, and perhaps a fever and headache. Many people with a cold feel tired and achy. These symptoms typically last from 3-10 days. How is the common cold spread?

Caffeine Inhibits the Synthesis of the HIV Virus In T Cells by 94% Adam's Story Blanche Speaks Letters From Blanche Vol. 1 Vol. 2 Vol. 3 Vol. 4 Caffeine Inhibits the Synthesis of the HIV Virus In T Cells by 94% Green Tea as a Non-toxic substitute for HIV Protease Inhibitors The Day AIDS Ceased To Be Fatal ... How the HIV Virus Takes Over the Immune System The normal cell cycle takes approximately 24 hours to complete. The cell cycle is an immensely complicated process of activation and deactivation of numerous enzymes in specific phases of the 24-hour cycle. See the diagram below. Caffeine, theophylline and other methylxanthines inhibit the ATM/ATR enzymes in the cytoplasm of the cell. This sets off a biochemical chain reaction that eventually dephosphorylates (activates) Cdc2 in the nucleus, thereby allowing cell division to occur. One further comment. It should be obvious that the p53 mutation that exists in most cancers could be overcome by phytochemicals that induce the synthesis of the G1 blocker p21Cip1. This is true. Resveratrol, ginseng, EGCG and a host of other phytochemicals can all induce apoptosis in a wide diversity of cancer cells, including breast and prostate cancer. Preparing these compounds so they can be used therapeutically is another story and a topic for another essay. Stay tuned to this web site for further information. The next scheduled essay will discuss how quercetin, a common flavonoid found in many foods (and sold in semi-purified form in health food stores), can inhibit the activity of the VPR protein (thereby preventing widespread immunosuppression), reduce the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase by 100% (thereby PREVENTING infection of new cells) at concentrations of 1-2 micrograms/ml, and reduce overall HIV synthesis by 80% in cell lines in concentrations as low as 40 microM.

Feedback Introduction: Common cold Common cold: Almost everyone is familiar with the feeling you get when you start a common cold, such as a sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, or tearing. Colds are very common but are more common in children and decline with age. They are rarely dangerous to healthy adults or children, but may occasionally be dangerous to infants, the elderly or other at-risk groups. Correct diagnosis of a cold usually means distinguishing between cold and the more serious flu , which is not always easy, but is important because of newer antiviral medications for the flu. There are also other conditions that start like a cold (e.g. rare but serious whooping cough ) and numerous conditions that have cold-like symptoms or flu-like symptoms . Although there are numerous different subtypes of colds, diagnosis of the specific subtype of cold is rarely performed and not usually important for treatment.

Research on the drug, tremacamra, was conducted at Medical University of South Carolina. Unlike over-the-counter cold remedies, which offer limited relief and side effects such as drowsiness, the study authors found no side effects from tremacamra. Tremacamra comes in the form of a nasal spray or powder. The study of 196 participants found the drug reduced by half all cold symptoms including runny nose, cough, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, headache, sore throat, malaise and chills.

Skip Navigation home about us referring ... Common Cold Common Cold Common Cold What is the common cold? The common cold is one of the most common illnesses, leading to more doctor visits and absences from school and work than any other illness every year. It is estimated that during a one-year period, people in the US will suffer one billion colds. Caused by a virus that inflames the membranes in the lining of the nose and throat, colds can be the result of more than 200 different viruses. However, among all of the cold viruses, the rhinoviruses and the coronaviruses cause the majority of colds. When is the "cold" season? People are most likely to have colds during fall and winter, starting in late August or early September until March or April. The increased incidence of colds during the cold season may be attributed to the fact that more people are indoors and close to each other. In addition, many cold viruses thrive in low humidity, making the nasal passages drier and more vulnerable to infection. What are the symptoms of the common cold?

When someone says, "I have a cold," what he or she means is, "There is something in my body that is causing me to have the set of symptoms that we call a 'cold.'" The set of symptoms normally includes things like a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, "chills" and a headache. It does not include a fever normally, if there is a fever it's called "the flu." There are many different viruses that can cause cold symptoms, but about half of the time a cold is caused by a class of viruses called rhinoviruses The rhinovirus gets into the cells lining your nose and starts reproducing. It arrives from other people it is not cold weather that causes a cold, but the fact that cold weather causes people to congregate together indoors, which makes transmission of the virus easier. The virus generally moves from someone else's hands to your hands (either directly or through some intermediate surface like a door knob), and from your hands into your nose or eyes. Your body reacts to the presence of the virus with its immune system. The article
