Fibrinous inflammation: Inflammation resulting in a large increase in vascular permeability allows the blood vessels to pass through fibrin. If an appropriate [P]rocoagulative stimulus is present, such as cancer cells,[2] a fibrinous exudate is deposited. This is commonly seen in serous cavities, where the conversion of fibrinous exudate into a scar can occur between serous membranes, limiting their function.

With the fanfare of a holiday parade, drug companies last year unveiled two new Cox-2 inhibitor drugs-Celebrex and Vioxx-to treat arthritis, inflammation, premenstrual syndrome, and potentially even cancer. All the hoopla paid off. Since then, doctors have written more than seven million prescriptions for these "super aspirin" drugs, earning hundreds of million dollars for their makers.

And inflammation can affect the bowels in other ways, too. Ever had cramps and diarrhea after eating a fatty meal? Inflammation could be to blame.

The strength of the evidence supporting the theory varies depending on the disease, and researchers caution it could still turn out that inflammation plays less of a role than the surge of interest would suggest. But the case is already very strong for heart disease, strong and getting stronger for many cancers, and much more mixed but still tantalizing for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s.
