Hypertonic Saline Nasal Irrigation and Gargling for the Common Cold.
Common ColdUpper Respiratory Tract InfectionsViral upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), one of the commonest infection faced by humans, have a significant impact on individuals, families, health service and economy. Though rhinoviruses are called the "common cold virus", numerous viruses can cause URTI. Hence virus specific remedy for URTI is impractical. There are currently no evidence-based interventions that reduce the severity, symptom duration or viral shedding. Preliminary evidence suggests that hypertonic saline nasal irrigation and gargling (HSNIG) may reduce the duration of symptoms. With this pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT), the investigators aim to assess the feasibility of undertaking a definitive RCT of HSNIG in adults with URTI. This pilot focuses on recruitment rate, willingness to be randomised, acceptability, compliance and likely effect size of the intervention. This pilot RCT compares HSNIG vs. usual care in 60 adults. Serial self-collected mid-turbinate swabs will help assess change in viral shedding. Symptomatic relief is measured by a validated symptom score. A questionnaire based participant feedback will help assess intervention and trial procedures. This mixed-methods pilot trial will help inform plans for a definitive RCT of this low-cost intervention that has the potential of substantial health and societal benefits.

Topical Immuonosuppressant Drugs in Spring Catarrh
Vernal KeratoconjunctivitisSpring catarrh is a prevalent type of conjunctival allergic disorder in temperate countries. Topical steroids are the cornerstone management of spring catarrh beside other anti allergic drugs. However, prolonged use of topical steroids especqially in resistant spring catarrh carries risk of ocular side effects as 2nd glaucoma and cataract. We will investigate the safety and efficacy of topical immuonosuppressant in the management of resistant spring catarrh as an alternative to steroid therapy.
