Extractions: The common cold is an acute upper respiratory tract inflammation that is caused by viruses. A very large number of viruses can produce the symptoms we call a cold. Most cold viruses are rhinoviruses that can be found on various surfaces or in the air. Therefore, they can be transmitted via a cough, sneeze, or most commonly through contact with a surface exposed to the virus that produces cold symptoms. One is not protected against another virus or against the same virus in altered form a few weeks later. Symptoms Symptoms of a cold usually develop 1-3 days after the virus invades the body. Common symptoms include congestion in the nose, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, hoarseness, a dry cough, a burning sensation in the ear passages and often a sense of feverishness, aching and being run down. Secondary infections are usually indicated by pain, fever, excessive coughing or unduly prolonged symptoms. Treatment

Colds are most prevalent among children, and seem to be related to youngsters' relative lack of resistance to infection and to contacts with other children in day-care centers and schools. Children have about six to ten colds a year. In families with children in school, the number of colds per child can be as high as 12 a year. Adults average about two to four colds a year, although the range varies widely. Women, especially those aged 20 to 30 years, have more colds than men, possibly because of their closer contact with children. On average, individuals older than 60 have fewer than one cold a year.

The common cold. The first agent we meet on our tour of the world of infectious diseaseis one that most of us know well the common cold virus or rhinovirus.
http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/teletext/disease/coldteletext.html

Extractions: The Common Cold The first agent we meet on our tour of the world of infectious disease is one that most of us know well - the common cold virus or rhinovirus. Like other viruses, the rhinovirus is incredibly small - just one ten-thousandth of a millimetre across. It has a symmetrical football-like shape with spikes projecting form the corners. These spikes enable it to enter human cells and multiply by hijacking the cellular machinery. The cold virus is carried in tiny droplets of moisture which are launched into the air when we breathe, cough and sneeze. This explains why colds happen more often in winter - people tend to crowd together indoors ! The symptoms of rhinovirus infection include a running nose, sore throat and coughing. normally the virus cannot spread beyond the cool upper airways but if it does then complications like pneumonia and bronchitis can occur. There are no drugs which can shorten the course of a viral cold - so doctors concentrate on relieving the symptoms. For decades scientists hunted for a cold vaccine, but recently they found that the rhinovirus outwits the body's immune system by changing its surface - like wearing a disguise - so there's a long way to go.

Extractions: A fever signals a cold, while allergies can linger, expert says SUNDAY, March 2 (HealthScoutNews) You're sneezing, your nose is running and your eyes are itchy. You know you feel lousy, but do you know why? It can be mighty hard to distinguish between a cold and allergies, but there are subtle differences. Colds are usually accompanied by a low-grade fever, says Dr. Sandra Kemmerly, medical director of infection control and hospital epidemiology at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans. Upper respiratory tract allergies can cause runny eyes as well as an itchy, runny or stuffy nose, but generally not a fever. "The difference is a cold will put people to bed because they're running a fever, and they feel crummy all over. Allergies cause a kind of chronic uncomfortableness," Kemmerly says. A cold will also get better and go away, sometimes in as little as three to five days, while allergies linger until the person is no longer exposed to the allergen, be it mold, mildew or plants.

Extractions: Health Source: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health. The problem. The causes: viruses. More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the symptoms of the common cold. Rhinoviruses (from the Greek rhin, meaning nose) cause an estimated 30% to 35% of all adult colds, and are most active in early fall, spring, and summer. Coronaviruses are believed to cause a large percentage of all adult colds. They induce colds primarily in the winter and early spring. Of the more than 30 isolated strains, three or four infect humans. Does cold weather cause a cold? Although many people are convinced that a cold results from exposure to cold weather, or from getting chilled or overheated, these conditions in fact have little or no effect on the development or severity of a cold.

A recent study conducted by a team of Spanish researchers found that wine drinkers are less likely to catch the common cold than teetotalers, beer drinkers and spirits drinkers. "We found that drinking 14 glasses of wine per week, two a day, is a strong preventative against colds," said lead researcher Dr. Bahi Takkouche, professor of epidemiology at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. "This effect is even stronger with red wine," he added. However, the benefits were not seen with other alcoholic beverages. The study, called "The Intake of Wine, Beer and Spirits and the Risk of the Common Cold," was published in the May 1 edition of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Automated Vulnerability Remediation - The Cure For Security's Common Cold

http://www.aberdeen.com/ab_abstracts/2002/12/12023072.htm

Extractions: IT security practitioners have long recognized the need for ongoing assessments and reviews of systems and network devices, as an integral part of protecting the enterprise against newly discovered security vulnerabilities. In order to provide effective insulation against vulnerabilities, all but the smallest enterprises must begin applying automation to the various processes associated with identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities. Automated vulnerability remediation is a new class of solution that provides the desired automation and implements the necessary insulation. These solutions replace the software distribution tools that have been co-opted for automating the installation of security patches, and they complement the products that security professionals currently rely upon for identifying vulnerabilities. This Executive White Paper provides insight into the evolution of automated vulnerability remediation, an overview of the types of solutions available, examples of suppliers, and criteria that IT buyers can use when evaluating solutions.

Can Zinc Cure The Common Cold?
Volume 9 Number 4 1997. Can Zinc Cure the common cold? by Kathleen Meister Thecommon cold is the commonest cause of visits to physicians.
http://www.acsh.org/publications/priorities/0904/zinc.html

Extractions: by Kathleen Meister Both of these studies appear sound: In both, the number of subjects was substantial (100 in Cleveland, 73 at Dartmouth). And both studies were double-blind; i.e., during the experiment, neither the subjects nor the health professionals who evaluated their symptoms knew who was receiving the zinc gluconate. Nevertheless, questions concerning the effectiveness and safety of using zinc gluconate to treat a cold remain to be settled. Although the two most recent trials suggested that zinc lozenges were significantly more ef-fective against the common cold than were their placebo counterparts, four of the six prior zinc-lozenge trials had not. Proponents of the treatment contend that differences in the for- mulation of the lozenges accounted for the differences in results. But there is no clear evidence of this. The question of by what means zinc might affect the course of a cold has not been resolved. Hypotheses that zinc inhibits the replication of cold viruses, prevents their entry into cells, and fights colds by correcting subclinical zinc deficiencies have not been substantiated. The company that manufactured the lozenges used in the Cleveland Clinic and Dartmouth studies markets its zinc-lozenge products with claims that do not inspire trust. The Quigley Corporation describes them as "clinically proven" and "Homeo-pathic." Homeopathy (see

Public Health 31st March 2003 NeLH Homepage Hitting the Headlines Archive Hitting the Headlines Article The news that Echinacea may not be effective in treating the common cold was reported in the Daily Mail on 18 December 2002 (1). The newspaper over emphasised the significance of the findings of a well conducted randomised controlled trial. The Daily Mail (1) reported that Echinacea, an herbal remedy, thought to help ward off the symptoms of the common cold, had not been shown to shorten the duration or the severity of symptoms. Indeed, it stated that people who took the Echinacea felt ill for longer. A paper published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (2) reported on the findings of a recent, well conducted randomised controlled, community based trial that included 148 students with cold symptoms. Half received dried, whole plant, unrefined Echinacea and the rest were given placebo (dummy) pills. The trial found that compared with the placebo, unrefined Echinacea provided no detectable benefit or harm in the college students who had the common cold. The newspaper article over emphasised the findings reported in the research paper. It suggested that people who took the Echinacea felt ill for slightly longer (1/2 a day), but this small difference could be due to chance. The trial only reports the use of one form of Echinacea preparation in healthy students. Therefore, the findings cannot be generalised to the wider population (especially the elderly) or to different preparations of Echinacea.
