We investigated the impact of dispersible zinc tablets on postoperative sore throat (POST) experienced by patients after endotracheal intubation. In our study, 88 patients were divided into two groups. One group received a 40 mg zinc tablet, while the other received a placebo 30 minutes before their surgery.

Our findings revealed that the zinc group reported significantly fewer instances of POST at the 4-hour mark compared to the placebo group. Specifically, only 6.8% of patients in the zinc group experienced POST, while a higher 31.8% in the placebo group did. Furthermore, none of the patients taking zinc reported severe sore throat, a stark contrast to three patients in the placebo group who did.

Additionally, we noted lower severity ratings for sore throat in the zinc group at various time intervals post-surgery. The results emphasize that taking zinc tablets before surgery can effectively mitigate the incidence and discomfort of sore throat following intubation, presenting a simple solution for a common postoperative issue.

We conducted a pilot trial to explore the effectiveness of zinc acetate in treating chronic refractory cough, a condition that causes significant discomfort for many people. In this study, we compared zinc acetate against a placebo over a period of six weeks, with the aim of measuring improvements in quality of life and cough symptoms using several established questionnaires.

Our group included 34 participants who were primarily white females suffering from moderate to severe cough. Throughout the trial, we noted that those taking zinc acetate did experience a rise in serum zinc levels, which indicates that the treatment was effective in that regard. However, when assessing the overall impact on cough symptoms and quality of life, both the zinc and placebo groups showed improvements, but those improvements were minimal.

Importantly, the treatment effects observed did not reach the clinically meaningful thresholds that would suggest zinc acetate significantly benefits cough management. Therefore, we concluded that there is no substantial advantage to using zinc therapy over placebo for people dealing with chronic cough, and suggest that larger trials are unnecessary at this time.

We set out to investigate how zinc might help protect heart cells from damage caused by a lack of blood flow, known as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Using H9C2 cells, which are derived from rat heart tissue, we simulated this injury by depriving these cells of oxygen and then reintroducing it while treating them with zinc.

Through this process, we found that zinc treatment significantly increased cell viability compared to those that did not receive zinc. Cells exposed to ischemia showed typical signs of trauma, like heightened levels of apoptosis—or programmed cell death—and calcium overload, which can further damage cells.

Interestingly, zinc seemed to tackle these issues by lowering the levels of certain proteins related to cell death. It also played a role in regulating calcium levels by interacting with various cellular pathways. In fact, when we silenced specific proteins involved in these pathways, the protective benefits of zinc were even more pronounced.

Our findings suggest that zinc can relieve the harmful effects of ischemia by mitigating cell death and regulating calcium overload, which offers hope for future treatments for heart-related conditions impacted by blood flow interruptions.

We investigated how intranasal zinc (Zn) treatment affects symptoms of allergic rhinitis (AR), specifically focusing on individuals suffering from Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP), a common seasonal allergy. In our study, we monitored 57 control subjects and 44 patients from preseason through the allergy season, observing the levels of Zn in both nasal fluid and serum.

Our findings showed that after exposure to pollen, the level of zinc in the nasal lining fluid of JCP patients significantly increased, while their serum zinc levels notably decreased compared to the control group during the JCP season. To delve deeper, we used model mice that could mimic these changes and the allergy symptoms of the patients.

The results from this mouse study were promising. We observed that treating these mice with a dose of zinc, similar to what humans might use, led to a notable improvement in their allergy symptoms. Additionally, the number of mucin-secreting goblet cells, which indicate a response to allergies, significantly decreased following the zinc treatment.

Our study points towards the potential of using intranasal zinc as a way to alleviate allergy symptoms, suggesting a new approach to managing allergic rhinitis.

I take this zinc so that at the first signs of a sore throat, I chew one or half a tablet, preferably after a meal. It works well for infections and has a pleasant taste that both adults and my teenage grandchildren enjoy. We use it as needed, not continuously, acting as an emergency remedy for viruses and colds. I brought it for friends who take it in winter to boost their immunity. I recommend it; the price-quality ratio is excellent!

We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to explore the effectiveness of a zinc oxide/glycine cream in treating cold sores caused by facial and circumoral herpes. By dividing 46 participants into two groups, one receiving the zinc treatment and the other a placebo, we aimed to measure how this formulation affected the duration and severity of cold sore symptoms.

Our results were quite promising! Participants who began using the zinc oxide/glycine cream within the first 24 hours of noticing symptoms experienced cold sore lesions that lasted only an average of 5 days, compared to 6.5 days for those on the placebo. Additionally, we noticed a significant reduction in the overall severity of their symptoms, including blistering, soreness, itching, and tingling.

As for side effects, subjects treated with the zinc cream experienced only minor and reversible issues typical of ionic zinc salt solutions. This indicates that the zinc oxide/glycine cream is not only effective but also safe for treating cold sores, presenting a valuable option for many people seeking relief from this common condition.

We explored how zinc might help in treating and preventing the common cold. The study focused on zinc's effects, isolating it from other treatments to understand its true impact on cold symptoms. By doing this, the researchers aimed to clarify whether zinc could genuinely shorten the duration of a cold or alleviate its symptoms.

The findings were intriguing but showed that zinc might not yield significant benefits for everyone. While some individuals reported a slight reduction in cold symptoms, the evidence did not strongly support zinc as an effective treatment overall.

This means that, for those seeking relief from a nasty cold, zinc alone might not be the go-to solution we hoped it would be. It’s essential to consider this information when deciding on a cold treatment plan and to approach zinc with realistic expectations.

We investigated how vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, might impact autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. Through a study involving a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, we administered vitamin C or a placebo solution and observed the effects on the immune response and disease progression.

Notably, the research showed that mice given vitamin C experienced a significant delay in the onset of arthritis and a reduction in disease severity. This suggests that vitamin C can play a critical role in managing autoimmune conditions by minimizing the production of autoantibodies, which are harmful antibodies that mistakenly attack the body's tissues.

Our findings revealed that vitamin C reduced the number of plasma cells and decreased antibody production in response to immunization. This indicates that vitamin C influences the immune system's response at a cellular level, helping to prevent the emergence of autoreactive plasma cells. We also discovered that the mechanism behind this effect involved inhibiting the Stat3 signaling pathway, leading to less activation of autoreactive immune components.

Ultimately, these results highlight the potential of vitamin C not just as a nutrient, but as a strategic tool in managing autoimmune disorders. By simply supplementing with vitamin C, there may be a way to intervene positively in the progression of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

In our recent study, we set out to explore the effectiveness of a 5% sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate lotion, a stable form of vitamin C, for treating acne. We conducted a double-blind, controlled trial with 50 participants over 12 weeks, where half used the vitamin C lotion and the other half received a placebo.

Our findings revealed significant improvements in acne symptoms for those using the vitamin C lotion compared to the placebo group. We measured outcomes through various assessments, including a global evaluation by investigators and self-reported assessments by the subjects, along with lesion counts.

The results showed that the vitamin C lotion was not only effective but also well-tolerated, with side effects similar to those seen with the placebo. This adds a promising tool to the options available for acne treatment, suggesting that vitamin C might play a valuable role in skincare regimens aimed at combating acne.

Overall, our study supports the idea that vitamin C, in the form of sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate, can help reduce acne, making it a noteworthy addition to acne treatment strategies.

We explored how zinc lozenges affect the duration of the common cold through a detailed analysis of multiple trials. In particular, we focused on the Mossad (1996) trial involving zinc gluconate lozenges, which revealed an average reduction of cold duration by about 4.0 days. While that sounds promising, our findings through a quantile treatment effect (QTE) analysis tell a more nuanced story.

Interestingly, the QTE analysis showed that for individuals suffering from lengthy colds lasting 15 to 17 days, the zinc lozenges could shorten their illness by as much as 8 days. On the flip side, those with shorter, 2-day colds only experienced a 1-day reduction in sickness. This suggests that while zinc may help, its effectiveness varies significantly depending on the initial duration of the cold, making the overall average effect less informative than we might think.

Our examination extended to three trials that used zinc acetate lozenges, yielding a similar average reduction of around 2.7 days. However, again, those averages concealed varying effects for short and long colds, highlighting the importance of looking beyond simple averages in treatment studies.

Overall, we observed that zinc lozenges can indeed help with cold duration, but the extent of that help is very much dependent on how long a person has been suffering. This approach to understanding treatment effects through QTE analysis could have important implications not just for cold treatment but also for analyzing other health outcomes.

We examined the effects of vitamin C on pneumonia caused by the influenza virus, specifically the H1N1 strain, in mice under stress. The study found that when exposed to restraint stress, the mice experienced increased mortality and more severe pneumonia symptoms.

However, by giving them oral vitamin C at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg, we observed a significant reduction in these severe outcomes. Vitamin C seemed to modulate the expression of certain genes related to the immune response, such as MAVS and IRF3, and increased the expression of NF-κB, which plays a key role in the body's antiviral defense.

Our research suggested that vitamin C's protective effects might stem from its ability to inhibit excess cortisol production in the adrenal gland, which is often elevated due to stress. By lowering cortisol levels, vitamin C may help reduce susceptibility to influenza infections, making it a potential ally during the flu season, especially for those experiencing stress.

Through these findings, we highlighted a new mechanism for how vitamin C can be beneficial during influenza infections, particularly for those who are feeling overwhelmed.

We explored how zinc acetate hydrate impacts hair loss for patients experiencing symptoms after COVID-19. In our analysis, we looked at 120 symptomatic outpatients over 12 weeks, observing their recovery patterns and any improvements in their symptoms. The focus was on various lingering effects, including fatigue and hair loss, particularly how zinc could potentially alleviate these issues.

Our findings highlighted significant improvements in hair loss for those treated with zinc acetate hydrate at multiple checkpoints (4, 8, and 12 weeks) compared to those who did not receive this treatment. The results were statistically significant and suggested that zinc could be a useful option for those struggling with hair loss post-COVID-19.

Additionally, we noted improvements in fatigue among those receiving zinc, although this was not as pronounced at all time intervals. As a whole, our study emphasized zinc's beneficial effects, particularly for hair loss, providing promising insights for anyone dealing with these challenging post-viral symptoms.
