Newer Insights into the Prsevention of the Common Cold
Since most colds are self-limiting, symptoms will usually resolve on their own in seven to ten days. For the majority of patients, treatment is symptomatic and targeted at the most bothersome symptoms. Specific nonprescription therapy may relieve cold symptoms but should be used with caution, especially in at-risk patient populations. Patients should monitor for worsening symptoms, and progress...
متن کاملCryosphere and Psychrophiles: Insights into a Cold Origin of Life?
Psychrophiles thrive permanently in the various cold environments on Earth. Their unsuspected ability to remain metabolically active in the most extreme low temperature conditions provides insights into a possible cold step in the origin of life. More specifically, metabolically active psychrophilic bacteria have been observed at -20 °C in the ice eutectic phase (i.e., the liquid veins between ...
متن کاملCold adaptation of a mesophilic subtilisin-like protease by laboratory evolution.
Enzymes isolated from organisms native to cold environments generally exhibit higher catalytic efficiency at low temperatures and greater thermosensitivity than their mesophilic counterparts. In an effort to understand the evolutionary process and the molecular basis of cold adaptation, we have used directed evolution to convert a mesophilic subtilisin-like protease from Bacillus sphaericus, SS...
متن کاملMolecular basis of cold adaptation.
Cold-adapted, or psychrophilic, organisms are able to thrive at low temperatures in permanently cold environments, which in fact characterize the greatest proportion of our planet. Psychrophiles include both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and thus represent a significant proportion of the living world. These organisms produce cold-evolved enzymes that are partially able to cope with the r...
متن کاملCold plasma for bacterial inactivation
Non thermal plasmas had been used for many years for different applications. Plasma is a cocktail of reactive oxygen species, negative species, radicals etc. This mixture has a positive effect also in killing bacteria. This fact is highly important in applications like disinfection of burned wounds where large skin areas need to be cleaned before the treatment. In this work we studied in vitro ...
