Seniors are a population vulnerable to respiratory infections. It is hypothesized that regular use of COLD-fX following an influenza vaccination would potentially augment immune response in the elderly. Use of COLD-fX may also provide additional protection again respiratory infection and reduce the incidence and severity of respiratory infections in otherwise healthy seniors.
This is a four-year study, funded by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, related to antimicrobial resistance in rural communities. The project consists of four components: A) surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, B) promotion of appropriate antimicrobial drug prescribing, C) preliminary assessment of the environmental impact of antimicrobials, and D) the development of new antimicrobial products. Six rural communities in Utah, and six rural communities in Idaho are participating in this study. Component D is being performed by investigators at Harvard University, under the direction of Co-Investigator Roger Inouye.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Acute Respiratory Infection Smart Form
We hypothesize the herbal preparation will enhance the preschoolers' immune response and when taken prophylactically for 12 weeks will decrease episodes of upper respiratory infections and gastroenteritis in the active versus the control group.
Children with malnutrition are often low in some nutrients, like zinc or vitamin A, that could help them fight off infections like pneumonia. Our study was designed to see if children who got supplements of zinc or vitamin A had fewer infections.
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx in the pediatric population. The impact of the disease on patients and families can be tremendous due to the need for frequent treatment. It would be highly beneficial to develop effective medical therapies as adjunctive measures to surgical ablation with the goal of reducing the frequency of reoccurrence.
