Parainfluenza viruses

                                                  Common Cold

• A group of large RNA-containing viruses that cause infections of the respiratory tract producing mild influenza-like symptoms.
• They are included in the paramyxovirus group. ( Search mxyovirus )

• Sore Throat Due to Inflammation

  Causes

  The common cold is caused by a virus. There are over 200 different viruses that can cause a cold, including:

  • Rhinovirus
  • Corona virus
  • Adenovirus
  • Coxsackie virus
  • Paramyxovirus
  • Parainfluenza virus
  • Respiratory syncytial virus

  Risk

  A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.

  Risk factors for a cold are:

  • Being near someone who has a cold
  • Touching your nose, mouth, or eyes with contaminated fingers
  • Having allergies (lengthens duration of cold)
  • Smoking or being near cigarette smoke (due to decreased resistance)
  • Stress (due to decreased resistance)
  • Sex: female (especially around menstrual periods)

  Symptoms

  Symptoms include:

  • Sore or scratchy throat
  • Stuffy nose (hard to breathe through your nose)
  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
  • Itchy, stuffed sensation in the ears
  • Watery eyes
  • Slight cough
  • Headache
  • Aches and pains
  • Low energy
  • Low-grade fever

Nitric Oxide

Nitric Oxide

• An important member of the group of gaseous mediators, which - together with amine mediators ( e.g. adrenaline, noradrenaline, histamine, acetylcholine ) and lipid mediators ( e.g. prostaglandins ) - produce many physiological responses ( e.g smooth muscle relaxation ).
• Nitric oxide is involved in the manifestations of sepsis and septic shock.
• Formula NO

Somatostatin ( growth-hormone-release inhibiting factor )

• A hormone, produced by the hypothalamus and some extraneural tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas ( search islets of Langerhans ), that inhibits growth hormone ( somatotrophin ) released by the pituitary gland.
• Both growth-hormone releasing hormone and somatostatin are controlled by complex neural mechanisms related to sleep rhythms, stress, neurotransmitters, blood glucose and exercise.
• Its inhibitory effect on gastrointestinal secretions is used to reduce flow from fistula from the pancreas or bowel to the body surface.
• Its effect on reducing abdominal blood flow is used to reduce bleeding from oesophageal varices.
• Somatostatin analogues are used to treat acromegaly, caused by over production of growth hormone, and to relieve the symptoms caused by hormone-secreting neuroendocrine tumours.
• They include lanreotide ( Somatuline ) and octreotide ( Sandostatin ).
