Is It Bad to Take Ibuprofen on an Empty Stomach?
This Is What Happens If You Take Ibuprofen on an Empty Stomach, According to Doctors
We've been there: a bad headache hits and we're apt to reach for some meds — only to remember we haven't eaten anything lately and it's not wise to take pills on an empty stomach. But is it really such a big deal?
Stomach upset is among the most commonly reported side effects of ibuprofen. The NHS advises ibuprofen be taken with food or milk, and to avoid taking it on an empty stomach.
Ibuprofen, like aspirin and naproxen (among other medications), is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). "These medications can seriously damage the lining of the stomach," says Joshua Russell, MD at Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care
It has long been believed that food can help "cushion" the stomach from these effects, however, evidence of this has been largely anecdotal. "That being said, if you experience mild stomach upset when taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, it is worth trying to take the medication on a full stomach to see if it helps reduce discomfort," Dr. Russell advised.
When taken for the occasional headache, doses of less than 1,600 mg of ibuprofen over two to three days with or without food are generally well-tolerated in otherwise healthy people with a low risk of side effects. Long-term use of ibuprofen, however, carries substantial risk of kidney damage and stomach ulcers/intestinal bleeding. "Acetaminophen is generally a safer alternative to ibuprofen (when taken according to the package instructions) if you are having stomach upset or are needing to take a medication for pain for longer than a week or two," Dr. Russell said. If you are experiencing a new, painful condition, it is always wisest to discuss your symptoms with a healthcare provider rather than simply taking an over-the-counter pain medication, as pain may be a symptom of a more dangerous health condition.
Often, however, the benefits of OTC or prescribed medications outweigh the possible side effects, and some doctors think it's not even something we should really worry about that intensely. "It is a myth for the most part that ibuprofen should not be taken on an empty stomach. Because the serious side effects of ibuprofen, which include stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, heart attacks, or stroke, are a consequence of systemic (postabsorptive) not 'local' effects of ibuprofen," said Dr. Tawseef Dar, an internist based in New York City.
In other words, it may not matter if you take it with or without food, as it is going to get absorbed into the blood anyway. "And for that matter, even intravenous NSAID medications cause similar side effects. Usually these side effects occur if the patient takes these medications repeatedly. However, patients with history of gastrointestinal bleeding, recent heart attacks, or bypass surgery should totally avoid these medications," Dr. Dar said.
But it's often better to err on the side of caution and just have a snack before taking any medication, just in case. "Taking ibuprofen on an empty stomach may cause irritation of the stomach lining and bleeding ulcers," said South Florida-based cardiologist Dr. Adam Splaver of Nanohealth Associates. "This holds true for all other NSAIDs as well as aspirin, which may reduce the stomach lining's ability to protect itself from the harsh acid produced to aid in the digestive process," he said.
"While these issues should be weighed with caution, you should consider speaking to a physician or trained medical professional if your pain or fever last more than 48 hours, as this may be a sign of a more serious matter," he added.

text: We end the week with two truly excellent albums: Converge's "Axe To Fall" and Lamb Of God's "Wrath." And it was a nailbiter. Both albums were listened to relentlessly, with no clear winner emerging for any serious length of time. I'm not gonna lie, and you can hate me for this all you want, but it's my awards: in the end, I flipped a coin. Converge wins! Sorry, Lamb Of God. I'm still going to keep listening to "Wrath" well into the new year, too.

Therapy in the Holy City: Fatalities
It was late Friday afternoon when I heard the news. Shots had been fired into a crowded pub in the heart of Tel Aviv, and the shooter was still at large. I immediately picked up the phone, contacting friends and relatives in the affected area to make sure they were okay. They were. My son, in Ramat Aviv, was studying for an exam; my cousin, on Bar Kochba Street, was waking up from a nap.
"All quiet here," my cousin wrote in a text. "What pub??"
This was par for the course: the fact that he, living in Tel Aviv, was getting the news from me, living in Jerusalem.
"Pub on Dizengoff," I quickly rattled off. "Shooter not been caught."
"I was planning to go to the gym," he wrote. "Guess I'd better listen to the news. Or just go to the gym."
I contacted the few other people I knew who lived in Tel Aviv. Before long, everyone in my little world was accounted for. Or almost everyone.
I mulled. Should I call her? Should I text her? And if so, what should I say?
"Are you okay?"
"I hope that you and all your loved ones are safe."
"Please don't leave your house until they've found the killer."
"If they haven't found him by Monday, will you still be working?"
I didn't call. I didn't text. I knew I would feel better about myself if I handled things on my own. And anyway, if something happened to her, wouldn't someone contact me? A colleague? Her husband? Surely there was a greater likelihood of her getting hit by one of those electric bicycles while walking down Ibn Gabirol than of her being shot in a pub on a Friday afternoon.
At least that's what I told myself.
But I was worried, and adding to the difficulty of my worry was the fact that I didn't think I had a right to it, felt ashamed of it. Ronit was neither a relative nor a friend. What was she to me? Both much more, and much less. I got to wondering who else was out there in the world, worrying about someone they had to pretend they weren't worried about, someone they had to worry about in secret.
Shabbat began. Despite the fact that there was a killer on the loose, I still put out the wine and the challah for Friday night dinner. I still served the cauliflower-dill soup, the roast chicken, the brown rice, the green salad. I still put out the box of rugelach from Ne'eman for dessert. The next morning I still woke up and had my coffee, read the weekend paper, set the table for lunch. And then, at sundown, the post-Shabbat reactivation of all things electronic revealed that the killer had not been caught yet. It also revealed that the previous day's shootings had resulted in two fatalities – males in their 30s – and the wounding of an additional five people.
"Still on lockdown?" I texted my son.
"Yeah but going out later," he texted back.
"That's not lockdown. Be careful."
I got the thumbs-up icon in return.
A few minutes later I sent him another text: "I'm watching the news. They mention a strong police presence in Ramat Aviv and Givatayim. Stay safe."
An hour later I sent another one: "I see a posting on Facebook that the shooter's cell phone was found on a street not far from you. Are your doors locked?"
"Hold on, I'll check," he texted back.
Really? Okay, so he was making fun of me.
Sunday morning I made myself turn off the news, which now confirmed an additional fatality: a Bedouin taxi driver who had picked up the shooter post-shooting. But I couldn't dwell on this; I had to get back to work, editing a sociological study of posttraumatic stress in Israel. Yes, another one. Apparently, if PTSD wasn't caused by living on the northern border, it was caused by living on the southern border. If it wasn't caused by the evacuation from Gush Katif, it was caused by Operation Pillar of Defense, or Operation Protective Edge, or Operation Cast Lead. And now, a whole other sector of the population was traumatized, having witnessed the murders at the Simta Bar on Dizengoff.
On Monday morning, speculation was rife.
He's holding an elderly person hostage in Ramat Aviv.
He's being hidden by an Arab sympathizer.
He's foisted his way into one of the homes where he used to deliver organic vegetables.
I registered these rumors and then did what I had to do – namely, prepare a cup of Turkish coffee for Ibrahim, the Arab man who on Monday mornings cleaned the lobby of our apartment building – and then hurried to get my stuff together: reading material, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, iPod shuffle. Yes, I was heading to Tel Aviv.
"Be careful," texted my son, in a nice bit of role reversal. I hadn't intended to make a public announcement of my whereabouts, but as I alighted from the bus at the Arlozorov station, I heard the sound of a text coming in.
"Guess where I am?" he had written on our family's "what's app" group. And that's when I remembered: on Mondays, as part of his studies, he spent the day in Jerusalem. So I revealed my location as well. The ensuing texts went something like this.
Me: I hear the killer's not in this area anymore.
Son: Where'd ya hear that?
Me: On the bus. On the eight a.m. news broadcast.
Son: So either he's in the area, or he's not in the area.
Me: Are you making fun of my Hebrew? I'm sure they said the alert was lowered.
Husband: Gotta love that you're not missing your appointment, even with a crazed killer out there.
Me: What's a crazed killer compared to my mental health.
Daughter (suddenly checking in): I'll tell you what it is. It's the same.
The humor was nice and light and a perfect antidote to the fear and heaviness I felt inside as I made my way to Ronit's office. Would she be there? Would she be intact? Might she have been one of the people who was wounded in the shooting? Might one of her kids have been? I hated how emotionally dependent I was on her, still, and could only hope that if I let my dependence run its course, I would one day come out stronger for it. Independence via dependence, I said to myself. Independence via dependence.
I arrived at her building and said good morning to the doorman. He said it back to me, and nothing else, which I took as a good sign. If Ronit were lying in a hospital bed somewhere, he probably would have mentioned it.
I ran up the flight of stairs and rang the bell. She opened the door. She smiled.
"You're alive," I said.

I am a transplant surgeon with a special interest in recurrence of disease after kidney or kidney-pancreas transplantation.
Along with Dr. Alberto Pugliese, we have been involved in studying recurrence of auto-immunity in those patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and end stage renal disease who underwent a kidney-pancreas transplant in the past. Our intention is to address the diagnosis and prediction of recurrent autoimmunity, a significant clinical problem, and to gain insight into the relationship between autoimmune humoral responses, cellular responses and disease progression in the transplanted allograft through biopsy. The pancreas transplant population provides a unique opportunity to conduct such studies, which are not feasible in TID patients who do not have a transplant. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the possible treatment and cure of TlD through the application of therapy to T1DR.
Our other major interest is the treatment of children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and the problematic recurrence of proteinuria after kidney transplant. Our group initiated a protocol utilizing one dose of rituximab in addition to the standard induction immunosuppression protocol for pediatric patients with FSGS in order to mitigate against the recurrence of proteinuria after kidney transplantation. Serum was collected pre and post-transplant. Biopsies were performed pre and post reperfusion, looking for early changes consistent with podocyte foot process dysregulation. This led to our collaboration with Dr.Alessia Fornoni who demonstrated the favorable effect of rituximab clinically was associated with rituximab binding a novel target (SMPDL3B, a sphingomyelinase) on the podocyte membrane. This work has led to further work in which we used abatacept as rescue therapy for patients with recurrent proteinuria after kidney transplant for FSGS in the context of podocyte B7-l expression. Our collaborative work has the potential to shed light on the function of the podocyte, including its role in innate immunity, following transplantation, which may translate into the treatment of primary disease.
These two areas of research represent robust examples of "bedside to bench and back again'' translational research.

Kazoo Sato designs hemispherical public toilet for Tokyo
Designer Kazoo Sato has created a public toilet that uses voice commands to control functions including the door, toilet flush, taps and ambient music as part of the Tokyo Toilet project.
Situated in Nanago Dori Park in the heart of Tokyo's Shibuya financial district, the design of the hemispherical toilet was led by TBWA\Hakuhodo advertising agency chief creative officer Kazoo Sato.
Japanese toilets are globally recognised for their technical innovations and Kazoo worked with experts in architecture, acoustics and toilet manufacturing to harness the latest technologies in his design.
Responding to the project brief set by Japan's largest public-sector charitable group, the Nippon Foundation, the design seeks to overcome traditional perceptions of public toilets as being dark, dirty, smelly and scary.
The Hi Toilet also responds to increased hygiene concerns around the spread of infection through contact with surfaces, which were heightened during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"After three years of research, planning and designing, we came up with the concept of the voice-command toilet called Hi Toilet, where all commands were activated by voice," explained Sato.
"This idea has been in place long before the arrival of Covid-19, but Covid accelerated the acceptance of this unique user experience in terms of 'toilets being contactless'."
An accessible toilet is housed in one side of the structure, with men's urinals located in the other.
The toilet building features a hemispherical form that was chosen to enhance internal airflow. A 24-hour ventilation system also helps to prevent odours from building up.
Users entering the toilet are greeted by an automated message explaining that they can use voice commands to operate the door, to flush the toilet, to turn the tap on or off, and to play music.
Japanese toilet manufacturer Toto provided one of its high-tech Washlet toilets that includes a cleaning water jet nozzle and automated lid for hands-free operation.
Kazoo Sato worked on the design with members of the TBWA\Hakuhodo Disruption Lab, which develops innovative ideas that involve brands in cultural projects.
The toilet is the twelfth in a series of seventeen public toilets planned as part of the Tokyo Toilet project, which has invited leading Japanese and international creatives to contribute unique designs.
Previous facilities already installed throughout Shibuya include Toyo Ito's mushroom-like toilet pods and a circular toilet by Tadao Ando that is located in a park surrounded by cherry trees.

The minor girl had lodged a case of rape two years ago in the Kadaba Police station. Thereafter the cop used to interact with the girl regarding the case. He visited her house on the pretext of issuing summons, the victim's father mentioned in the complaint.
The accused had promised the rape victim that he would marry her and sexually exploited her. When the girl was five-and-a-half months pregnant, her parents came to know about it and questioned the accused, the complaint said.
The accused flatly refused to marry the girl. He told her parents to get an abortion done and he would give the money for it. Now, the girl and her mother are missing since September 18, the father's complaint said.
Sources said that the daughter and mother had informed the complainant that they have been kept in an undisclosed location. The accused has made a digital transfer of Rs. 35,000 to them and they had got the abortion done.

Intellect – The bridge from Instinct to Intuition
12th December is the birthday of the illustrious American singer & actor Frank Sinatra. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes".
The idol of bobby soxers, Sinatra is considered one of the greatest music artists of all time. He won 11 Grammys and an Academy Award. He was also known for his immaculate sense of style and even earned the nickname 'Lady Macbeth' for frequent showering and switching outfits! Sinatra is said to have swum daily in the Pacific Ocean, which he said was therapeutic and allowed him some solitude!
Frank Sinatra had a natural instinct for understanding music, almost like a sixth sense, that he could even detect incorrect notes and sounds within the orchestra. He was a perfectionist and had extraordinary performance presence! He preferred to record his music live with the band saying that it gave him a "certain feeling" to perform live surrounded by musicians. Osho often uses Frank Sinatra's music as a canvas for His jokes. Osho also explains the connection between intuition, intellect and instinct.
Intuition is your consciousness, your being.
Intellect is your mind.
Instinct is your body.
And just as instinct functions perfectly on behalf of the body, intuition functions perfectly as far as your consciousness is concerned. Intellect is just between these two – a passage to be passed, a bridge to be crossed. But there are many people, many millions of people, who never cross the bridge. They simply sit on the bridge thinking they have arrived home.
The home is on the further shore, beyond the bridge. The bridge joins instinct and intuition. But it all depends on you. You may start making a house on the bridge – then you have gone astray.
Intellect is not going to be your home. It is a very small instrument to be used only for passing from instinct to intuition. So only the person who uses his intellect to go beyond it can be called intelligent.
Intuition is existential.
Instinct is natural.
Intellect is just groping in the dark.
The faster you move beyond intellect, the better.
When Billy Graham sang, "All I want is Jesus," five thousand people joined the Protestant church.
When Pope the Polack sang, "Ave Maria," ten thousand people joined the Catholic church.
When Frank Sinatra sang, "There's a gold mine in the sky," one hundred thousand Jews joined the Air Force.
Intellect functions that way. And Jews are intelligent people – if there is a gold mine in the sky, why waste time here? Just immediately join the Air Force.
Intellect can be a barrier to those who think nothing is beyond it. Intellect can be a beautiful way to those who understand that there is certainly something beyond it. Science has stopped at intellect. That's why it cannot figure out anything about consciousness.
The intellect without your intuition awake is one of the most dangerous things in the world. And we are living under the danger of intellect, because intellect has given science immense power. But the power is in the hands of children, not in the hands of wise people.
Intuition makes a man wise. Call it enlightenment, call it awakening; those are simply different names for wisdom. Only in the hands of wisdom can intellect be used as a beautiful servant. And the instinct and intuition function together perfectly well: one on the physical level, another on the spiritual level.
The whole problem of humanity is getting stuck in the middle, in the mind, in the intellect.
And then you will have misery and you will have anxiety and you will have agony and you will have meaninglessness. And you will have all kinds of tensions without any solution anywhere to be seen. Intellect makes everything a problem and knows no solution at all. Instinct never creates any problem and does not need any solution; it simply functions naturally. Intuition is pure solution, it has no problems: intellect is only problems, it has no solution. If you rightly see the division, it is very simple to understand: unless instinct is available, you will be dead. And unless intuition is available, your life has no meaning – you just drag on. It is a kind of vegetation.
Intuition brings meaning, splendor, joy, blessings. Intuition gives you the secrets of existence, brings a tremendous silence, serenity, which cannot be disturbed and which cannot be taken away from you.
With instinct and intuition functioning together, you can also use your intellect for right purposes. Otherwise you have only means, but no ends. Intellect has no idea of any ends. This has created today's situation in the world. Science goes on producing things but it does not know why. Politicians go on using those things not knowing that they are destructive, that they are preparing for a global suicide.
The world needs a tremendous rebellion that can take it beyond intellect into the silences of intuition.
The very word `intuition' has to be understood. You know the word `tuition'. Tuition comes from outside, somebody teaches you – the tutor. Intuition means something that arises within your being; it is your potential; that's why it is called intuition.
Wisdom is never borrowed and that which is borrowed is never wisdom. Unless you have your own wisdom, your own vision, your own clarity, your own eyes to see, you will not be able to understand the mystery of existence.
As far as I am concerned, I am in absolute favor of instinct. Don't disturb it. Every religion has been teaching you to disturb it. What is fasting but disturbing your instinct? Your body is hungry and asking for food, and you are starving it for spiritual reasons. A strange kind of spirituality has been possessing your being. It should be called simply stupidity, not spirituality.
Your instinct is asking for water, it is thirsty; your body needs it. But your religions … Jainism does not allow anybody even to drink water in the night. Now as far as the body is concerned, it may feel thirsty, particularly in summer in a hot country like India and Jainas exist only in India. In my childhood, I used to feel very guilty because I had to steal water in the night. I could not sleep without drinking at least once a night in hot summers. But I used to feel that I was doing something that should not be done, that I was committing a sin. Strange and stupid ideas are being forced on people.
I am in favor of the instinct and this is one of the secrets I want to reveal to you: if you are in total favor of instinct, it will be very easy to find the way towards intuition, because they are both the same, even though functioning on different layers. One functions on the material level; other functions on the spiritual level.
But intellect goes on creating repressive methods for the instinct. Celibacy for instance creates perversions – homosexuality, sodomy – because it is not part of your instinctive program.
To accept your instinctive life with absolute joy, without any guilt, will help you to open the doors of intuition, because they are not different, just their planes are different. And just as instinct functions beautifully, silently, without any noise, so does intuition function – and even more silently, far more beautifully. Intellect is a disturbance. But it depends on us whether we make it a disturbance or use it as a stepping-stone. When you come across a stone in the street, either you can think it a hindrance or you can use it as a stepping-stone to a higher plane. Those who really understand use intellect as a stepping-stone.

Tennis legend Boris Becker has re-ignited his war of words with Nick Kyrgios after the Aussie's latest social media spat.
Kyrgios is not in New York for the US Open amid concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, but he had a shot at semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta on Twitter this week which ruffled some feathers.
"If clay didn't exist, dude wouldn't have even been close to top 50," Kyrgios tweeted about Carreno Busta, before deleting the post early in the tournament.
Upon reaching the semi-final Carreno Busta was asked about Kyrgios' dig, prompting a swift reply from the Spaniard.
"He must be pretty bored… when he comes back to tournaments, we will talk about him because he deserves it," he said.
"And in the meantime, well nothing, he will continue to tweet from home."
Kyrgios' latest social media activity seemed to have upset one of his biggest critics too, in Becker.
Speaking to Eurosport, where he works as an analyst, the German six-time grand slam champion didn't hold back.
"Nick Kyrgios should shut up for once," Becker said.
"He's turning into a loudmouth criticising the players, while he does nothing.
"I don't know any athletes like that."
Carreno Busta put up an incredible fight in his semi-final against Alexander Zverev, only to go down 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in a tense battle.
It's not the first time Becker and Kyrgios have butted heads though. In June earlier this year, the latter was called a "rat" by the Becker for his criticism of Zverev's irresponsible partying in Monaco during the coronavirus pandemic.
Kyrgios was a vocal critic of "selfish" Zverev's behaviour following his vow to self-isolate amid the drama of the Novak Djokovic-led Adria Tour COVID-19 cluster. But Kyrgios' Instagram video ripping into Zverev did not go down well with Becker.
"We all live in the pandemic called #Covid_19! It's terrible and it killed to (sic) many lives...we should protect our families/loved ones and follow the guidelines but still don't like #rats @NickKyrgios," Becker tweeted.
What ensued was a feisty back-and-forth between Kyrgios and Becker in which the Aussie returned serve, calling Becker a "doughnut", and "not the sharpest tool in the shed".
In an attempt to explain his reasoning for attacking Kyrgios later that evening, Becker revealed that he felt the Canberran had broken some sort of tennis players' code, despite Zverev's partying video being posted publicly on social media.
"There is an unspoken understanding between athletes! Whatever happens on the court stays there including the lockers! Nobody will talk about it ... #respect #sport #fellowship," Becker said.
Becker then turned the debate on Kyrgios' up-and-down on-court form on the ATP Tour, telling him to "man up".
"I really would like to see @NickKyrgios fulfill his potential and win a grand slam! He would be an incredible role model for for the youth of the world addressing the issues of equality/race/heritage! Man up buddy and deliver!" Becker said.
Kyrgios has openly shared his skepticism about tennis' eagerness to return amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including the US Open's decision to go ahead in New York from August 31.

169. Cinnamomum saigonicum.—Saigon cinnamon.
Saigon cassia.
The dried bark of the stem and branches of an undetermined species of Cinnamo'mum.
DESCRIPTION OF DRUG.—It takes its name from Saigon, the capital of French Cochin-China, where it is collected and exported. It is in large quills or broken pieces, 1 or 2 mm. (1/25 to 1/12 in.) thick; the gray or grayish-brown bark, which is not removed, is more or less rough and warty, longitudinally wrinkled and ridged, and covered with whitish patches. Inner bark cinnamon-brown or dark brown, with numerous white striae near the bark; fracture short, granular; odor aromatic; taste aromatic and pungent. Ash, not exceeding 6 per cent.; not exceeding 2 per cent. insoluble in HCl.
Color.—There is quite a difference in the depth of the color of the three barks. The Ceylon is the lightest, the Saigon is the darkest, and the Cassia intermediate. This difference in shade is shown best in the powder.
Thickness.—The Ceylon is very thin and papery. The Saigon, usually regarded as the thickest, is in the average about the same as Cassia.
Odor.—The odor and taste of the Saigon is the strongest, the Ceylon is the most delicate, the Cassia weakest.
Microscopical.—To distinguish between the barks no difficulty is experienced in cross- and longitudinal sections, which display the oil-cells, stone cells, and other elements. In the powdered condition the Ceylon shows the largest stone cells. In Cassia the stone cells are less numerous and smaller. In the Saigon the oblong stone cells are about the same size as those of Cassia, but fewer in number.
