Doctor Fakes Test Results in Over 20 Studies

Some of the most popular drugs utilized for pain management of arthritis and post-operastive sugery has been a class of drugs known as COX -2 inhibitors, ie Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra. They are a powerful anti-inflammatory medications and are a stronger version of over the counter pain medications such as Asprin, Alieve, Advil.

Recently I came across an urgent medical news article which I do not believe has made it to the national news media sources yet.

In an announcement made by NaturalNews.com highlighted an article posted on Scientific American titled, A Medical Madoff: Anesthesiologist Faked Data in 21 Studies

Here is an selection from one of the articles

Faking clinical trial data for Vioxx and Celebrex

A researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Massachusetts, Dr. Scott Reuben, was found to have faked the data used in 21 "scientific" papers published in peer-reviewed medical journals from 1996 - 2008.

The Associated Press is reporting today that journals have begun retracting papers authored by Dr. Reuben. The journal Anesthesia & Analgesia has retracted 10 studies authored by Dr. Reuben, and the journal Anesthesiology has also started retracting studies.

But the damage has already been done: Dr. Reuben's work was reportedly relied on very heavily by pull-pushing doctors and medication advocates, who cited his studies to "prove" these drugs are safe and effective. In reality, though, it was all just made up!
