A 'charley horse' is a common term for a sudden, painful, involuntary muscle cramp, usually in the calf, foot, or thigh, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It causes involuntary muscle tightening that can last seconds to minutes. Such cramps may occur due to involuntary nerve discharges, poor blood flow, stress or too much high-intensity exercise.
As immunity declines with age, MIT scientists found a way to restore some of its strength by delivering mRNA to liver. It creates a temporary source of immune-boosting signals that are usually produced by thymus.

According to Dr Saumya Saluja, the common cold results from viral infection, not ambient temperature. Cold weather often coincides with increased indoor crowding and low humidity, facilitating viral transmission and nasal dryness, which may weaken first-line defenses. These environmental factors indirectly raise infection risk but don't directly cause respiratory viruses to invade.
Dr Saumya Saluja notes, school-going children encounter repeated respiratory viruses due to dense contact, immature immune systems and varied hygiene habits that facilitate transmission of over 200 pathogens causing coughs and colds. Environmental exposure and developmental immunologic factors make such infections common, especially during seasonal peaks when children interact closely indoors.
