I always hope I'll find a study or a medication or a treatment that a patient out there needs to learn about to make their life better.<br /><br />Welcome to my blog and thank you so much for the comment - you made my day!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />-ShannonShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565419342312281934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239068533557516122.post-22260809439490366862011-11-29T17:34:50.837-08:002011-11-29T17:34:50.837-08:00That article on atrophy was really interesting, es...That article on atrophy was really interesting, especially because I just came across this trial earlier in the week, which is using a beta-blocker (propanolol) combined with a long-acting NSAID (etodolac) to treat cachexia in cancer patients: http://www.asco.org/ascov2/Meetings/Abstracts?&vmview=abst_detail_view&confID=74&abstractID=49474<br />Propanolol helps to regulate stress hormones, so it would seem like a highly useful treatment for cachexia/atrophy/"wasting" that accompanies chronic inflammatory disease. Thanks for posting these news updates!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194258629013376918noreply@blogger.com
