A great study, albeit in-vitro, that once again throws into doubt the entire hypothesis behind prostate cancer. First, it proves the key role of PUFA in the genesis and progression of prostate cancer by demonstrating that inhibitors of the COX enzyme (responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins...

Abstract Identifying drugs that regulate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its symptoms has been a pressing area of investigation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are frequently...

Some "experts"say anti inflammatory drugs can enhance Corona infection ... Any thoughts on this please ??? I am taking lots of Asprin these days ,could this be a bad idea ??? Anti-inflammatories may aggravate Covid-19, France advises Ibuprofen may aggravate coronavirus says France health...

The appearance of metastases has long been considered one of the most mysterious and important aspects of cancer due to the fact that metastases can occur even in organisms where the primary tumor has been completely removed and the rest of the organism has been completely isolated form the...

It is common knowledge that several NASID drugs, including aspirin, cause hearing issues at higher doses. This new research found that the mechanism of action is by competition with chloride ions for activation of the hearing protein called prestin. This suggests a possible method of blocking...

This article appeared in BMJ. Surprisingly, it made front page headline news in our hospital's news section, where I work. Risk of acute myocardial infarction with NSAIDs in real world use: bayesian meta-analysis of individual patient data | The BMJ

It has been know for at least 20 years that taking NSAID drugs other than aspirin increases risk of heart problems. The risk was considered low and even if materialized it was thought it would lead to relatively low grade heart attacks. However, this new study shows that the risk is higher than...

If the truly wonder-drug properties of aspirin were considered lacking by some medical authorities, now we can add curing sepsis to that list. Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients, regardless of age, condition, treatment, etc. It is largely considered a lost cause once...

A medicine used to treat colds could completely stop the spread of cancer "This latest research could pave the way for medical institutions to use flufenamic acid - a much cheaper cold drug - which has unexpectedly been proven to be effective at fighting cancers,"

Most doctors now routinely recommend ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, etc instead of aspirin due to some (mostly unfounded) concerns about bleeding caused by by even low-dose aspirin. It has been known for a long time that NSAID (other than aspirin) use increases the risk of heart attacks...

Another study linking chronic inflammation to cancer and its signature muscle wasting condition known as cachexia. Yet another piece of the puzzle in how aspirin prevents and maybe even treats cancer. This study is also interesting b/c it found that that the current medical opinion vilifying fat...

I find it odd that the article says "some" cancers even though JAK is upregulated in virtually all cancers. Also, instead of listing some common non-prescription drugs (NSAID) that are known JAK inhibitors they talk about proprietary drugs used for rheumatoid arthritis...

The alcohol case is clear and it is well known that it damages the mucosa. The drug used to induce damage was ibuprofen, but I don't see why the results and conclusions would not translate to aspirin as well, thus making an even stronger case for combining aspirin with caffeine. Effective human...
