updated at midnight GMT search nature science update advanced search SARS' Achilles' heel revealed Drugs to treat common cold may be effective against the virus. 15 May 2003 TOM CLARKE The drug (blue) jams a key component of the SARS virus. source: Science Researchers have made a three-dimensional image of a crucial part of the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The model suggests that a drug being tested as a cold remedy is a good starting point in treating the killer disease. Another group has already tested the molecule, called AG7088, against the SARS virus in the test tube. Results have been negative, says virologist Robert Baker of the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Maryland. "Yet that result is preliminary and we are re-testing now," he says. But many very similar chemicals show activity against SARS, suggesting that researchers are closing in on the right target, says Baker. The drug blocks a component of the virus called a proteinase. All coronaviruses, the family to which the SARS virus belongs, rely on these molecules to reproduce.

How to Survive the Common Cold Science/Writing The way people handle the aggravating, but potentially dangerous, common cold has produced many home remedies and approaches. In this activity students will identify symptoms in the stages of a common cold and then create a booklet about surviving the common cold. WHAT YOU NEED Lined writing paper Pen or pencil 8 1/2" by 14" or larger paper 8 1/2" by 14" or larger oaktag Markers or crayons WHAT TO DO Have students choose a partner and write a step-by-step description of what they experience when they have a cold. You may wish to use the following structure to help students with their descriptions. Identify and chart possible first symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, cough). List equipment, products or remedies used to alleviate the first symptoms (tissues, lozenges, cough syrup, extra vitamin C, bed rest). List any second-stage symptoms as a cold worsens (headache, coughing up mucous) and jot down what remedies they use for these (aspirin, Tylenol, heating pad for the chest, hot drinks, bed rest, extra sleep). List what happens when their cold does not get better and requires a visit to the doctor (fever, chest pain, wheezing, coughing up dark mucous, a "rubber band" sound in the lower back on each breath).

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 28 November 1997. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: The role of oral ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in the prevention and treatment of colds remains controversial despite many controlled trials. There have also been a number of efforts to synthesize and/or overview the results of these trials, and controversy over what these overviews tell us. Objectives: The objective of this review was to answer the following two questions:(1) Does regular high dosage supplementation with vitamin C reduce the incidence of colds?(2) Does taking vitamin C in high doses at the onset of a cold have a therapeutic effect? Search strategy: This review currently deals only with published trials from two previously published reviews by Kleijnen 1989 and Hemila 1992.

Stay away from crowded places. If your child has a cold, wash his or her toys after play to minimize the risk of spreading the virus. * Get plenty of rest. Staying well rested keeps your immune system strong so it can fight off germs. It also helps keep stress at bay, another trigger that can weaken the immune system and make you vulnerable to colds. * Practice common sense. It sounds simple, and it is. Change washcloths, sponges, and dishtowels on a regular basis. Replace your toothbrush frequently. Clean surfaces you touch with a germ-killing disinfectant.

(PhotoDisc) Beyond Vitamin C New Study Shows Happiness Fights the Common Cold By Jamie Cohen July 22 It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion colds. But new research shows that all it may take to avoid this common affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude. People who are energetic, happy and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, finds a new study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold and waited to see how the unlucky ill manifested their cold symptoms. "We found that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when exposed to rhinovirus, are relatively protected from developing illness," said Dr. Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Although positive people showed a greater resistance to colds, negative people did not necessarily get sick more often.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Common cold Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory system, including the nose, throat, sinuses, eustachian tubes, trachea, larynx, and bronchial tubes. Although over 200 different viruses can cause a cold, 30-50% are caused by a group known as rhinoviruses. Almost all colds clear up in less than two weeks without complications. Description Colds, sometimes called rhinovirus or coronavirus infections, are the most common illness to strike any part of the body. It is estimated that the average person has more than 50 colds during a lifetime. Anyone can get a cold, although pre-school and grade school children catch them more frequently than adolescents and adults. Repeated exposure to viruses causing colds creates partial immunity. Although most colds resolve on their own without complications, they are a leading cause of visits to the doctor and of time lost from work and school. Treating symptoms of the common cold has given rise to a multi-million dollar industry in over-the-counter medications. Cold season in the United States begins in early autumn and extends through early spring. Although it is not true that getting wet or being in a draft causes a cold (a person has to come in contact with the virus to catch a cold), certain conditions may lead to increased susceptibility.

It seems that no matter how often we experiencethe familiar symptoms of body chills, upper respiratory congestion, headache,neck and shoulder stiffness and possible fever we are still often unpreparedand in a quandary as to what is the best treatment. Feeling invulnerable and unaware of stress and dietary causes, the averageAmerican experiences approximately 5.6 respiratory illnesses each year andyoung children, a startling 8.3! Infact the common cold, as one of aclass of upper respiratory diseases, accounts for 60% of all diseases. With all the recent high tech advances of modern medicine and the billionsof dollars spent on research of far more complex and serious diseases such ascancer, one might at least expect a cure for the common cold. Not so easy,since there are more than 200 viruses, numbers of bacteria and even somefunguses that can cause cold-like respiratory problems. Because of this, it isnot likely that a vaccine can be developed for the common cold. This isparticularly true since more than any other disease, a cold represents acomplex series of energetic metabolic imbalances as well as various pathogeniccauses often unique to each patient.

For Patients College Health Tips from the University of Iowa's Student Health Service Common Questions about the Common Cold Eric Evans, M.D. Mary Hacker, M.D. Student Health Service Physicians Rita Krause, M.D. Former Student Health Service Physician First Published: 2003 Last Revised: November 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed IÕve had a bad cold for about a week. Do I need to see a doctor or can I just wait it out? The common cold, also known as an upper respiratory infection, is caused by a virus. There are over 200 viruses that can cause colds, and it is not unusual for college students to get six to eight colds a year. Most colds last 7-10 days and include a variety of symptoms that change over the course of the illness. Often colds start with a sore throat, then progress to nasal/sinus congestion, and a cough. Fatigue, body aches, ear congestion, and low-grade ( <101 degrees) fever also are common. The best way to prevent colds, as well as recover quickly from a cold, is to keep your immune system healthy with regular rest, a balanced diet, and plenty of fluids. Moderate exercise, as long as you donÕt have a fever, is fine during a cold. Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and stress can all decrease your immune resistance, making you more prone to catching colds, while also prolonging your recovery. Washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching your face can help prevent catching or spreading colds. There are no medications to kill the cold-causing viruses, but some medications can make you feel better while youÕre sick. Aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen can help with aches and pains. A decongestant, such as pseudo-ephedrine also can help congestion in your chest or head. Antibiotics, which only treat bacteria, and antihistamines, which are good for allergies, are not suggested for colds.
