Liver Cancer Cells Coaxed To Commit Suicide By Common Anti-Inflammatory
The anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib, known by the brand name Celebrex, triggers liver cancer cell death by reacting with a protein in a way that makes those cells commit suicide, according to a new study.
Researchers also found that the combination of celecoxib with each of two chemotherapy drugs killed more liver cancer cells in culture, making those combinations more effective than either drug on its own.
We discussed Celebrex in detail and the head of hepatobilliary department at Shands, who writes a lot of the research you see, said he has absolutely no problem with me taking Celebrex long term. I am a hepper with cirrhosis, I have a healthy heart and well controlled hypertension. I think as long as your mom doesn't have heart issues and she gets regular physian followups that she will benefit from Celebrex. I know I do.
Ask your doctor whether s/he has considered reactive arthritis. Or just see a rheumatologist (arthritis specialist). Such a specialist will know all about reactive arthritis and its potential causes.
Whatever is going on, it definitely does not mean you have any continuing STD as the cause.

My father has severe rheumatiod arthritis. He has been on a combination of Arava 20 mg ( Hydroxychloroquine) and Plaquenil (Leflunomide) . He has been going severly downhill since January and has lost 40 pounds, has constant mucous drainage that he chokes on especially after meals, and has severe shortness of breath. Can these symptoms be a result of the medications he is taking? Is it safe for him to take two synthetic DMARDS at the same time?
I am a long term smoker and because of this, I joined a study. The first few years that I got the CT scan nothing was found. This year, they found a spot 2cm on my lung. They want me to wait 6-12 months to do another CT scan. Is this wise? My doctor says I should just wait because radiation is bad for you. I am going nuts here! 2cm sounds really big to me!! Should I get a second opinion as to waiting 6-12 months?
THE Cancer Research Center of the European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences in Bologna, Italy reported this week that a long-term study to evaluate the potential carcinogenic effects of aspartame demonstrates the chemical sweetener "induces an increase in lymphomas and leukemia in female rats."

The AREDS (age related eye disease study) does not show the efficacy and safety of taking a high dose vitamin beyond 8-9 years. So, unless you've got a family history of ARMD or currently have intermediate stage MD, or other retinal/macular problems the benefits of taking an AREDS supplement is unknown. Although, the scientific community is currently researching the benefits/risks of long-term usage of the supplements, the results won't be published for another few more years.

10 years of being infected in 100 participants if you are interested in more reading on all of this. The majority of folks I know who have had hsv2 long term, have less ob's in general though they all seem to go thru periods where the pattern is increased for a short time ( like they won't get an ob for a year or two and then have 3 in a row in a few months or something similar ).
