The common cold is a viral infectious disease that spreads easily. Symptoms include sore throat and nasal congestion. There is no cure, and one must wait for it to run its course. The average person gets 2-3 colds per year. While not life-threatening, the cold can be a nuisance by making it difficult to focus on tasks and causing people to avoid those infected. A cure for the common cold would help make dealing with life's troubles more bearable.

It notes the viruses that typically cause colds and discusses factors like age, season, and prior exposure that influence symptoms. It provides details on transmission of cold viruses and preventing spread. Symptoms are outlined as well as over-the-counter treatments. The summary concludes by indicating when to see a doctor, such as with a high fever or worsening symptoms.
COMMON COLD
The document discusses the common cold, which is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that causes symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, and coughing. It affects both children and adults and spreads easily through direct or indirect contact with infected secretions. While the cold is usually mild and self-limiting, complications can sometimes occur like sinusitis, ear infections, or bronchitis. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms with over-the-counter medications and getting plenty of rest.
Common cold
The common cold is caused by viruses that infect the nasal mucosa, causing inflammation and symptoms like nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and includes decongestants, antihistamines, expectorants, analgesics, and increasing fluid intake. While colds cannot be cured, zinc and vitamin C may help reduce severity and duration.
Colds and Flu
Contrary to popular belief, a cold and the flu is not the same. So just how do you differentiate between the two?
Common cold
This document discusses the common cold. It begins by introducing the topic and defining the common cold as a viral infection of the nose and throat that is usually harmless. It then discusses risk factors for the common cold like age, weakened immune system, season, and exposure. Next, it outlines the typical symptoms over the course of 1-5 days. It also discusses the most common viruses that cause colds and their seasonal patterns. Additional sections cover facts about transmission, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment options and their evidence, complications, and a case study example.

Upper respiratory tract infections involve the areas above the vocal cords such as the nose, sinuses, throat, and voice box. Common illnesses discussed are the common cold, acute rhinosinusitis, pharyngitis, and acute otitis media. The document outlines symptoms, causative agents, diagnostic approaches, and antibiotic treatment recommendations for each condition.
cold ppt
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that usually lasts 7 days. It is associated with viruses like rhinoviruses and parainfluenza viruses. Adults typically have 2-4 colds per year while children may have up to 10. Colds spread through nasal secretions or surfaces and are most contagious in the first 3 days after symptoms appear. Symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, sore throat, and fatigue. While most colds resolve on their own, one should see a doctor if symptoms persist more than 7 days or include high fever, chest pain, or ear pain.
7 Upper respiratory tract infections
Upper respiratory tract infections are very common and include conditions like sinusitis, ear infections, epiglottitis, and sore throat. While most are mild and viral, inappropriate antibiotic use has led to increased antibiotic resistance. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is usually treated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for 5-7 days. Chronic rhinosinusitis requires long-term treatment including nasal steroids, saline irrigation, and sometimes antibiotics or surgery. Group A streptococcal pharyngitis is the only commonly occurring sore throat for which antibiotics are indicated to prevent complications like rheumatic fever. A rapid strep test aids early diagnosis and penicillin remains the treatment of choice.

common cold
This document discusses pharmacological treatments for cough, cold, and flu. It begins by providing facts about the common cold, noting that rhinoviruses cause 40-50% of cases. Transmission occurs through direct contact or droplets from sneezing/coughing. Symptoms of the common cold include nasal congestion and cough. Influenza causes similar but more severe symptoms like sudden fever and body aches. The document then reviews natural remedies for symptoms like zinc, vitamin C, and echinacea. It discusses expectorants that thin mucus and cough suppressants like dextromethorphan and codeine. Combination products contain antihistamines, decongestants, and other drugs
Drugs affecting respiratory system
The document discusses drugs used to treat respiratory conditions like the common cold, asthma, and COPD. It describes the actions and side effects of various classes of drugs including antihistamines, decongestants, expectorants, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and others. Treatment approaches are outlined for different severities of asthma using a stepwise approach beginning with short-acting bronchodilators and progressing to inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting bronchodilators, oral corticosteroids, and IV corticosteroids as needed.
Cough
This document discusses the treatment of cough. It begins by classifying cough based on duration as acute (less than 3 weeks), subacute (3-8 weeks), or chronic (more than 3 weeks). For acute cough, the most common causes are viral infections, sinusitis, pertussis, COPD exacerbations, and allergies. Post-infectious cough can last 1-2 weeks. Chronic cough is often caused by postnasal drip, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux, or smoking-related chronic bronchitis. The document provides guidance on evaluating and treating cough based on duration and suspected etiology. Emphasis is placed on treating the underlying cause rather than just suppressing cough symptoms.
Most Common Communicable Diseases
Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens passed between humans through various means of transmission. The common cold is the most common communicable disease, caused by one of over 200 viruses transmitted through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include congestion, cough, headache, and fatigue. While no cure exists, rest, hydration, and nutrition can help the body fight the virus. Influenza is also highly contagious and spreads similarly, requiring medical consultation if symptoms are severe. Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that may develop from untreated colds or influenza.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. It is commonly classified anatomically based on the location of lung involvement or etiologically based on the causative agent. Common causes of infectious pneumonia include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and various influenza viruses. Diagnosis involves chest X-ray and culture of sputum or other respiratory samples. Treatment depends on the identified cause but generally involves antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia.
Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, are common and usually not serious. They are often caused by dry air irritating the nasal membranes. Nosebleeds can also be triggered by colds, allergies, high blood pressure, medications, and injuries. Treatment involves sitting upright, pinching the nose to apply pressure, and seeking medical care if bleeding does not stop. If bleeding is severe or persistent, a healthcare provider may insert nasal packing to stop the bleeding. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for complications and providing comfort measures.
Obesity and overweight
This document discusses obesity and overweight issues in America. It provides statistics showing that between 16-34% of American children are overweight or obese. If left unchecked, obesity can increase the risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. The document encourages maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise of 60 minutes per day to avoid health risks and live a longer, healthier life.
Bee's by Jamie
A honey bee is an insect that uses its stinger to defend itself and its hive. It produces honey by swallowing nectar and expelling it back at the hive. Wasps and other bees from different hives are dangers because they attack and kill bees or steal their honey. Bees are important because they pollinate plants and flowers, and without bees there would be no plants for herbivores or carnivores to survive, ultimately leading to the extinction of humans. There are different types of bees including worker bees, drone bees, queen bees, killer bees, and bumble bees. Bees live in colonies and are not likely to attack unless bothered.
A bee or other insect bite
If an insect bites you, stay calm and examine the bite to identify the insect. Clean and disinfect the bite with antibiotics and remain in your shelter. Keep the bite either moist or dry depending on its current state, do not scratch it, and seek medical help if symptoms worsen.
Epistaxis,
Epistaxis, or nosebleed, is bleeding from the nasal cavity. The majority (over 80%) of cases are anterior epistaxis originating from the Kiesselbach's plexus. Posterior epistaxis accounts for 5% of cases and can be more severe due to the larger blood vessels. Treatment depends on whether the bleeding is anterior or posterior. For anterior epistaxis, initial treatment involves compression, cauterization or nasal packing. Posterior epistaxis may require nasal sponge packing or Foley catheter balloon insertion. Recurrent or severe epistaxis may require arterial ligation or embolization.
Large’ dna genomes
The document discusses viruses with large and small DNA genomes as well as positive-strand and negative-strand RNA viruses. Herpesviruses have very large DNA genomes up to 235 kbp that encode many enzymes. Adenoviruses and phages like lambda have smaller genomes between 30-54 kbp. Animal viruses like parvoviruses and polyomaviruses have even smaller genomes around 5 kbp that tightly pack genes. Picornaviruses, togaviruses, and flaviviruses have single-stranded RNA genomes between 7-11 kbp. Coronaviruses have the largest RNA genomes around 30 kbp. Segmentation allows larger coding capacity for viruses like influenza and gemin
Parvo virus
Parvoviruses are the smallest DNA viruses, including human parvovirus B19. B19 is pathogenic in humans, infecting erythroid progenitor cells and causing fifth disease in children characterized by a rash. It can also cause aplastic crisis, hydrops fetalis in fetuses, and chronic anemia in immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis involves detecting IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA or PCR to detect the virus. There is no treatment, though a vaccine is in clinical trials.
Virology table temp
This document categorizes and summarizes various viral families, their important genera, the diseases they cause, how they are transmitted, and methods for diagnosis. It covers both DNA and RNA viruses, including those that are single-stranded, double-stranded, enveloped, and non-enveloped. Many common viral diseases are discussed such as influenza, hepatitis, HIV, measles, Ebola, rabies, as well as less known illnesses.

Iconography refers to the visual symbols and conventions associated with different music genres. In rock music, the conventions include loud, instrumental music and musicians with wild hair and rebellious fashion styles. Pop music iconography features clean vocals with unconventional notes, upbeat tunes with less instrumentation, and artists using revealing clothing or sexualized music videos to sell themselves. Indie music has a hybrid style, with some artists having clear vocals like pop and others being loud like rock. Indie artists appear clean cut like pop but unique like rock, and their performances have a conservative approach focused on the music rather than showmanship.
Parvo virus
Parvovirus is a small, single-stranded DNA virus that causes diseases like fifth disease and aplastic anemia. It is around 22 nm in diameter with an icosahedral capsid but no envelope. Symptoms of parvovirus infection include fever, chills, and a bright red, raised "slap cheek" rash on the face and lacy rash on the extremities. Treatment focuses on supportive care with ibuprofen for fever as a vaccine remains in trials.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B virus is a partially double-stranded DNA virus that can be transmitted both horizontally through infected blood or body fluids and vertically from mother to child. It has a 42nm enveloped virion structure containing DNA and antigen proteins. HBV replicates through reverse transcription and has 4 overlapping reading frames that encode the surface, core and polymerase proteins. HBV infection may be acute and self-limiting or develop into chronic lifelong infection. Diagnosis involves detecting hepatitis B antigens and antibodies. Current treatments include interferon which stimulates immunity, and nucleoside analogues like lamivudine and adefovir which inhibit viral replication but resistance can develop. Prevention is through vaccination and immunoglobulin administration to exposed newbor

Common Cold Powerpoint
- 1. The Common Cold By: Nick Schroeder
- 2. What exactly the common cold is… The common cold is a viral infectious disease, and spreads very easily. Symptoms commonly include sore throat and nasal congestion, but they can sometimes become quiet serious. There is no cure. One must wait until it has run it’s course.
- 3. More information… The average person has about 2-3 infections of the cold per year. There are hundreds of different types of the common cold, which has added to the difficulty of finding a cure.
- 4. Why I think it should be cured Although the common cold is not a life threatening disease, having it can still be a nuisance. It makes it difficult to focus on tasks, and it also makes people avoid you as if you had the plague. With all the troubles one goes through in life, having a cure for the cold would at least make things more bearable.
