Extractions: When winter rolls around and we begin to spend more time indoors, the common cold becomes an unfortunate reality for many of us. But for something as common as the cold, misconceptions about it are remarkably common as well. The following collection of Web sites provides an in-depth look at the cold and the cold virus. The first site ( ) comes from the Common Cold Care Center of Cardiff University in Wales, and offers a thorough and highly readable introduction to the common cold, including sections on conventional and alternative cold medications.

Articles Health Spending Common Cold Coughs up $40 Billion Annual Price Tag first previous next last A new study by the University of Michigan Health System published in the February 24th edition of Archives of Internal Medicine reports that the cost to the U.S. economy is $40 billion a year substantially more than other conditions such as asthma, heart failure and emphysema. The researchers conducted a nationwide telephone survey of more than four-thousand US households to find out the number of self-reported cases of the common cold, as well as specific ways respondents treated their illness. Nearly three-quarters of the respondents reported suffering from a cold within the last year, with an average of 2.5 episodes. "We found that the common cold leads to more than 100 million physician visits annually at a conservative cost estimate of $7.7 billion per year," says A. Mark Fendrick, M.D., lead author on the paper and co-director of the Consortium for Health Outcomes, Innovation, Cost Effectiveness Studies (CHOICES) at UMHS. "More than one third of patients who saw a doctor received an antibiotic prescription. While these unnecessary costs are problematic, what is more concerning is how these treatment patterns contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance, a significant public health concern."

Social Support, Stress And The Common Cold
NIH Record December 2, 1997. Social Support, Stress, and the common cold. ASummary of a Presentation by Sheldon Cohen, Ph.D. Carnegie Mellon University.
http://obssr.od.nih.gov/Publications/socsup.html

Extractions: Carnegie Mellon University Friends are good medicine, especially during cold season. A study presented by Dr. Sheldon Cohen at a recent NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) seminar has found that diverse ties to friends, family, work and community help to reduce susceptibility to upper respiratory illness. Although chicken soup may provide soothing relief to cold symptoms, it is the friend who brings you the soup that is proving to be important in maintaining health. "Psychological and social factors play an important role in determining our resistance to upper respiratory illness," reported Cohen. For the past 10 years, Cohen, professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and adjunct professor of pathology and psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, has been studying the effects of psychological stress and social support on immunity and susceptibility to infectious disease. At the OBSSR seminar, Cohen described his study of 276 healthy volunteers ages 18 to 55, who were given nasal drops containing viruses that cause a common cold. "Only 40 percent of those exposed to a virus actually develop a clinical illness," Cohen said. "Our work has shown that those having more types of social relationships including family but also neighbors, friends, work mates, and members of religious and social groups were less likely to develop a cold when exposed to a rhinovirus." Those who had 1-3 types of social relationships were over 4 times more likely to develop a cold than those with 6 or more types. "Not only were they less susceptible to developing colds, they produced less mucus, were more effective in mucocilliary clearance of the nasal passage, and shed less virus," Cohen stated. In addition, "network diversity was a more important determinant of susceptibility than the total number of people in one's social network," he said.

Extractions: Article #270 by T. Neil Davis This column is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. T. Neil Davis is a seismologist at the institute. Do Alaskans and Northern Canadians have more and worse colds than people living in the more temperate regions to the south? Evidently not, although colds among peoples of the tropics are less common and less severe than those of residents of temperate climate. The common cold is caused by virus infection and is communicable only among Chimpanzees and humans; no other animals are susceptible. Whether there is a single cold virus or many is not known. But it is known that getting chilled or wet does not contribute to catching cold. One is far more likely to catch cold following an auto accident, according to Dr. John Thigh, director of the University of Alaska's Life Sciences Division at Fairbanks. In fact, he says, severe trauma of any kind is frequently followed by the victim's catching cold. The natural resistance to infection when exposed to cold virus varies from person to person, and an individual's susceptibility may change over the years. It may be hard to sort out just how much a person's resistance depends upon attitude and emotional well-being as well as upon physical factors. In my case, I have noticed that I usually catch cold at the end of every vacation. Evidently the shock of having to go back to work is too much for my system.

Extractions: Germs attack your body, primarily your nose and your throat causing your nose to run, your throat to feel sore and in general body ache and weakness. These germs are of so many types that even if your body fights one type of germ, the other germs are just ready to attack you, whenever they get a chance. In fact, there are more than 80 types of viruses (pronounced as why-rus-is) that cause cold. Sometimes if your cold is severe, your watery fluid from the nose becomes yellow or you get a severe earache, then your doctor may also give you antibiotics (pronounced as NT-bye-o-tics). These are drugs that kill the bacteria (pronounced as back-tea-ri-ah) germs. At present, there are no shots available to prevent common cold. So, the only way to take care of it is when you get it, take care!

Uncommon Approach To Common Cold Fights Cancer: 04/10/02

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/report/news/april10/cold.html

Extractions: Stanford Report, April 10 Uncommon approach to common cold fights cancer By AMY ADAMS Researchers at the medical center have been spreading colds to cancer patients, all in the hope of curing a deadly disease. In the unusual technique, doctors inject a modified cold virus into the liver as a way to kill cancerous cells. The major benefit of treatment with a modified cold virus is its ability to target cancer while leaving normal cells unharmed. "We want to kill the tumor but not at the expense of the patient," said Daniel Sze, MD, PhD, assistant professor of radiology. Sze presented his findings Monday at the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology annual scientific meeting in Baltimore. Sze said follow-up studies with more participants will provide a better idea of exactly how effective the treatment may be. "In this trial, we got a hint that it might actually benefit people with cancer," he said, adding that in this phase I study, the main concern was showing that the treatment is safe. Sze and his colleagues tested their cancer-targeting cold virus in liver tumors that had spread from an original tumor in the colon, although Sze added that the virus is also being studied as a potential treatment for head and neck, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. Colon cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and most of the 50,000 annual deaths occur when the primary cancer spreads from the colon to the liver, not simply from the colon cancer alone.

Extractions: Consumer Focus: Is It a Cold or the Flu? Is It a Cold or the Flu? Colds and flu (also called "influenza") can occur anytime but appear mostly in the fall and winter. How can you tell the difference? A cold tends to come on gradually but the flu hits very fast and lasts longer. The symptoms for colds and flu can be similar; both can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, and fever, but the flu can also leave you with a "wiped-out" feeling, a headache, chills and body aches. Learn more about: The Common Cold Many different viruses can cause a cold. Symptoms usually last for about a week, but can last longer especially in children, elderly people, and those in poor health. Colds are highly contagious - see the tips below on how to avoid catching a cold. Exposure to cold weather, or getting chilled or overheated has little or no effect on the development or severity of a cold. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for the common cold and no antiviral medication is effective in treating the common cold. Antibiotics should only be taken to treat bacterial complications that arise from colds.
