Haha blow me, kid. My country (The Netherlands) has an excellent routing to the US, with my clan and eCG I play on US East/West all the time. That's why I'm calling you a bigot because you tend to see all European's for a like... that's just typical American ignorance.
ahahhahaha, see this guy attitude, lolz. Americans aren't very bright as we can see here. Prime example!

it's funny how people always call people from the US retards and ignorant when, for the past 100 years, most to all of the major inventions that revolutionized the world came from our country. stop raging
I couldn't care less that you don't want to play with 'my' people you bigot. It's the fact that your an ignorant redneck who is rude on a public forum and being disrespectfull to an entire continent.
Oh and don't forget that we 'dutchies' are the port for Europe, trade and internet wise. Without the support from Europe America wouldn't stand where it currently stands.
And do you why that was the case? Answer: 1st and 2nd world war.. Many or almost all big names in science from that time escaped, with their families to US. So?
As it goes for OP, you are cluless. Stating facts? I'd say more like egoburst went wrong, and got flamed . Nextime stick that pride and ego to yourself tough guy.
From this kind of attitude you show to rest of the world you are beeing attacked verbaly and otherwise by all kinds of groups. And i gotta say it's not a surprise.
To be humble shows greatness. Ego shows weakness.
and europeans? rofl. Most EU players are far better than US players
Everytime I play on USE I win.
that'll be all...
How many languages to you speak Swish ? Wow people like you are the reason why americans are hated around the world, you put your own country to shame. Oh and I apologize if I make any mistakes as English isn't my native language either.
Pretty sure plate tectonics is what has kept parts of the U.S. above water. Any technological advances, whether provided from our own front or from "China", would only account for a small portion of areas that reside under sea level, like New Orleans.
Also your grammar is atrocious. At least if the Chinese become our overlords, the more educated of us like myself can boast a background to be placed in some more acknowledged divisions.
Lastly, you sound mad.
After actually reading the thread, it's amazing how ridiculous and stupid the OP is...clearly a bigot. That's not to say the rest of you aren't making vast generalizations that don't have merit and only promote your ignorance. For instance: And yet in recent Olympics, we continually boast higher medal counts than most countries and often have the highest? Not everyone is fat, buddy. Some, like myself, are probably in better shape than you.

In May 2001, Israeli parents of a nine-year old boy with a crippling disease that left him wheelchair-bound took their child to see doctors in Moscow. In a highly experimental procedure that was presumably unavailable in their home country, those doctors injected fetal stem cells into various regions of his brain.
The boy's parents—they aren't named in a report describing the case in this week's PLoS Medicine—must have been desperate. The nine-year old suffered from ataxia-telangiectasia, a childhood disease that causes degeneration of parts of the brain that control muscle movements and speech. The symptoms include slurred speech, poor balance, impaired immune function, and the appearance of red spider veins called telangiectasias in the eyes, ears or cheeks.
There are no treatments for the disorder and the prognosis is dim; patients usually only make it into their teens or early twenties, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. While it's unclear exactly what the Russian doctors were trying to achieve (the researchers who wrote the case report were not involved in the stem cell therapy), they must have been hoping that the injected cells would restore some function in his brain, or at least slow the disease progression. The boy went back for injections in 2002 and 2004, although it's not clear from the report whether his condition improved as a result.
Then he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005. That tumor, it turns out, grew out of the stem cells, obtained from at least two aborted fetuses, used in his brain.
The tumor was benign, doctors safely removed it, and it has gradually been growing back since the surgery. But this is the first-known case of a brain tumor caused by a brain stem cell therapy, according to the report—a phenomenon scientists have predicted in the pages of Scientific American and elsewhere. The theory is that because these stem cells are fetal cells, they are designed to proliferate and give rise to new tissue, which means they have the potential to produce tumors. The case, write the authors of this week's case study, should serve as a warning that more research is needed to gauge the safety of these novel therapies.
Other stem cell experts echo their concerns and worry that scientists don't yet understand exactly how stem cells used in such treatments behave once inside the body. Treating neurological disorders with stem cells from fetal brains is a "great scientific goal to pursue," but there is simply not enough evidence from animal studies, let alone human studies, to prove it is safe or effective for treating these diseases in children, says Sean Savitz, a neurologist at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
Savitz has just begun enrolling patients in a study on treating adult stroke victims with their own—adult—stem cells. The intent of the boy's treatment must have been to use these fetal stem cells to regenerate tissue lost in certain areas of the brain, Savitz speculates, but he adds, "we don't have a full understanding of how [brainlike] stem cells can generate different cells in the brain."
Savitz says that the stem cells used in his trial are not likely to cause cancer because they are adult cells taken from bone marrow that die once they have accomplished their mission of repairing brain tissue. In their study, Savitz and his colleagues will remove cells from the bone marrow of patients 24 to 72 hours after they suffer a stroke, isolate hundreds of millions of stem cells from that marrow and then re-inject the stem cells into the bloodstream.
Once inside the body, the stem cells will migrate to the brain and promote new blood vessel growth, reduce inflammation, and rescue neurons at risk of dying, Savitz hopes. And once they have done their job, they will basically commit suicide—unlike fetal neural cells, which tend to set up camp and proliferate, setting the stage for possible tumor formation, he explains.
"The best case scenario is that we determine that there are no serious adverse events associated with this approach," Savitz says cautiously. Although a small trial like this could (and hopefully will) yield benefits to the patients involved, Savitz notes, establishing safety is the objective.

HMMM.... a bit of sensationalism here. The article CLEARLY states the brain tumor was BENIGN, thus NOT CANCEROUS or malignant. That tumors could potentially form from stem-cells.... uh, duh. They are by definition mulitpotent cells that differentiate according the genetic orchestration & biochemical milleu provided by the developing blastocyst/embryo.
What would be of interest are the specifics of this case. Exact origin of the cells... quantity of cells and sites injected... as well as nature of the preparation of the cell aliqot to ensure as safe a procedure as possible, free of contaminants or microbes.
Since the boy suffers with Ataxia-Telangectasia and has a uniformly dim prognosis... and returned for serial injections... the ethics seem at least somewhat reasonable, though one hope the desperate parents were not sold a proverbial "bill of goods" and false hopes. I wonder what professional safeguards exist in Russia? Did he actually experience some improvement of his symptoms?
Medicine often has its share of tragic refinements until a reasonably safe and beneficial biologic approach is found... often, serendipitously... since it remains large empiric.
I wish all of those in dire medical straits, whose health hang in a precarious balance, the best as they consider experimental therapies... while the sands in their tragically broken hourglass drain all too quickly.

Ford India recalls over 1.66 lakh Figo, Classic models
Chennai, Sep 13 : Ford India, the Indian subsidiary of American auto giant Ford Motor Company, is recalling 166,021 vehicles of its Figo and Classic car models to inspect and rectify problems in the rear twist beam and the power steering hose, said an official.
"This will be our second and final recall of the Figo and Classic models to set right the problems," a company spokesperson told IANS over phone from New Delhi, Friday.
Ford India, in a statement, said that it will "recall the remaining batches of Ford Figo and Ford Classic models to inspect them for potential issues related to the Rear Twist Beam (RTB) and the Power Assisted Steering (PAS) Hose."
"This is to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our customers by inspecting and replacing any potentially affected parts as required. Ford India will continue to drive this service initiative through its authorized dealers," the company said.
Ford India will be recalling a total of 131,922 cars (Figo 109,469 units, Classic 22,453 units) produced and sold between January 2011-June 2012 for inspection connected with the RTB which may not need any part replacement.
In the case of the PAS Hose, a total of 34,099 units (Figo 30,681 units, Classic 3,418 units) produced and sold in India from January 2010-August 2010 and March 2011-November 2011 will be inspected and then replaced, the official said.
No injuries or accidents related to the RTB or PAS issues have been reported.
The company official declined to comment to queries about the action taken against the vendor.
On Aug 13, 2012, Ford India recalled all Figo and Classic models manufactured between January 2008 and December 2010 for the same problem.
A total of 1,11,000 units for RTB and 17,655 units for the power steering hose problem were recalled then.
At that time Ford India said the issue is a potential crack in the RTB which first manifests itself in the form of an abnormal noise from the rear.
If the vehicle is continued to be driven and the noise symptoms are ignored, it could lead to the unit breaking, resulting in diminished ride and handling and brake performance - potentially rendering the vehicle inoperable.
The company last year said all Figo and Classic petrol-engined vehicles manufactured from September 2010 till February 2011 will have the power steering hose replaced as a precautionary measure and to ensure the long term durability of the vehicle.
The issue identified is the potential for an oil leak to develop in the power steering hose which could result in potential fumes being emitted from the area causing the leak.
It may also be possible for power steering fluid to come into contact with the vehicle's exhaust components creating a potential for smoke and, in extreme cases, fire.
Ford India launched the Figo in 2010.
According to Ford India, it is proactively contacting owners of the potentially affected vehicles via notification letters through its nationwide dealership network. Owners may also contact their local dealers, or call Ford India Customer Relations Group on a toll free number - 1800 419 9889.

LOS ANGELES (Fox 11/AP) -- An autopsy shows a security officer killed by a gunman at Los Angeles International Airport had been shot 12 times.
The report released Friday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office said Transportation Security Administration Officer Gerardo Hernandez had 40 bullet fragments in his body that were sent to the FBI. Coroner's officials said previously the 39-year-old Hernandez died between two and five minutes after being shot on Nov. 1 in Terminal 3. Authorities say 23-year-old Paul Ciancia was targeting TSA officers in a vendetta against the federal government when he pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and shot Hernandez. Two other TSA employees and an airline passenger were wounded before airport police shot Ciancia, who has been charged with murder.
The Hernandez Family has established a memorial fund in Officer Hernandez's name. Checks may be made payable to the Gerardo Ismael Hernandez Memorial Fund and sent to the following address:
Gerardo Ismael Hernandez Memorial Fund
c/o First Entertainment Credit Union
6735 Forest Lawn Drive
Hollywood, CA
Questions regarding donations should be addressed to First Entertainment Credit Union at 1-888-800-3328.
From Sandra Endo:
With heavy hearts, friends and TSA family members of slain officer Gerardo Hernandez shared memories of the beloved 39-year-old at a candlelight vigil Monday evening. He is the first TSA officer to be killed in the line of duty.
Sheleta Fraser was his TSA supervisor, "He looked at me as his mentor, I look at him tonight as my hero, like I said earlier, he took one for the team because it could have been much worse."
Earlier today, another TSA victim who survived the rampage, limped to the microphones with the help of a cane after being shot in the foot. 36-year-old Tony Grigsby spoke out for the first time since the shooting Friday, he too remembered officer Hernandez. "Only now has it hit me I will never see him again. He's a wonderful person, a friend and I will miss him."
Grigsby says he became a TSA officer to help people and to protect people. He says he was helping an elderly man get to safety when he was caught in the line of fire.
Another TSA officer James Speer also suffered a gunshot wound Friday as did a passenger, Brian Ludmer. Ludmer is a beloved Calabasas high school teacher. He was shot in the leg but managed to hide in a closet until it was safe to come out.
Students are reportedly planning a walkout against gun violence tomorrow in support of their teacher.
(FOX 11/AP) - The 100-foot pylons at Los Angeles International Airport will be lit blue this weekend in honor of a transportation security officer who was killed in a shooting.
Gerardo I. Hernandez, 39, of Los Angeles, is the Transportation Security Administration officer who was fatally shot Friday morning at the airport. He was the first TSA official in the agency's 12-year history to be killed in the line of duty.
Authorities say 23-year-old Paul Ciancia strolled into Terminal 3 Friday, pulled a semi-automatic rifle from his duffel bag and started firing at TSA officers.
TSA Administrator John Pistole met with Hernandez's family Saturday afternoon.
"No words can explain the horror that we experienced today when a shooter took the life of a member of our family and injured two TSA officers at Los Angeles International Airport," Pistole said in a statement released Friday.
Fellow screeners and law enforcement officials wore black mourning bands in Hernandez's memory.
Five others, including two more TSA workers and the gunman, were injured.

text: Open MPI Version Numbers and Binary Compatibility ------------------------------------------------- Open MPI has two sets of version numbers that are likely of interest to end users / system administrator: * Software version number * Shared library version numbers Both are described below, followed by a discussion of application binary interface (ABI) compatibility implications. Software Version Number ----------------------- Open MPI's version numbers are the union of several different values: major, minor, release, and an optional quantifier. * Major: The major number is the first integer in the version string (e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the major number typically indicate a significant change in the code base and/or end-user functionality. The major number is always included in the version number. * Minor: The minor number is the second integer in the version string (e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the minor number typically indicate a incremental change in the code base and/or end-user functionality. The minor number is always included in the version number. Starting with Open MPI v1.3.0, the minor release number took on additional significance (see this wiki page for more details): o Even minor release numbers are part of "super-stable" release series (e.g., v1.4.0). Releases in super stable series are well-tested, time-tested, and mature. Such releases are recomended for production sites. Changes between subsequent releases in super stable series are expected to be fairly small. o Odd minor release numbers are part of "feature" release series (e.g., 1.3.7). Releases in feature releases are well-tested, but they are not necessarily time-tested or as mature as super stable releases. Changes between subsequent releases in feature series may be large. * Release: The release number is the third integer in the version string (e.g., v1.2.3). Changes in the release number typically indicate a bug fix in the code base and/or end-user functionality. If the release number is 0, it is omitted from the version number (e.g., v1.2 has a release number of 0). * Quantifier: Open MPI version numbers sometimes have an arbitrary string affixed to the end of the version number. Common strings include: o aX: Indicates an alpha release. X is an integer indicating the number of the alpha release (e.g., v1.2.3a5 indicates the 5th alpha release of version 1.2.3). o bX: Indicates a beta release. X is an integer indicating the number of the beta release (e.g., v1.2.3b3 indicates the 3rd beta release of version 1.2.3). o rcX: Indicates a release candidate. X is an integer indicating the number of the release candidate (e.g., v1.2.3rc4 indicates the 4th release candidate of version 1.2.3). o rV or hgV: Indicates the Subversion / Mercurial repository number string that the release was made from (V is usually an integer for Subversion releases and usually a string for Mercurial releases). Although all official Open MPI releases are tied to a single, specific Subversion or Mercurial repository number (which can be obtained from the ompi_info command), only some releases have the Subversion / Mercurial repository number in the version number. Development snapshot tarballs, for example, have the Subversion repository included in the version to reflect that they are a development snapshot of an upcoming release (e.g., v1.2.3r1234 indicates a development snapshot of version 1.2.3 corresponding to Subversion repository number 1234). Quantifiers may be mixed together -- for example v1.2.3rc7r2345 indicates a development snapshot of an upcoming 7th release candidate for version 1.2.3 corresponding to Subversion repository number 2345. Shared Library Version Number ----------------------------- Open MPI started using the GNU Libtool shared library versioning scheme with the release of v1.3.2. NOTE: Only official releases of Open MPI adhere to this versioning scheme. "Beta" releases, release candidates, and nightly tarballs, developer snapshots, and Subversion/Mercurial snapshot tarballs likely will all have arbitrary/meaningless shared library version numbers. For deep voodoo technical reasons, only the MPI API libraries were versioned until Open MPI v1.5 was released (i.e., libmpi*so -- libopen-rte.so or libopen-pal.so were not versioned until v1.5). Please see https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2092 for more details. NOTE: This policy change will cause an ABI incompatibility between MPI applications compiled/linked against the Open MPI v1.4 series; such applications will not be able to upgrade to the Open MPI v1.5 series without re-linking. Sorry folks! The GNU Libtool official documentation details how the versioning scheme works. The quick version is that the shared library versions are a triple of integers: (current,revision,age), or "c:r:a". This triple is not related to the Open MPI software version number. There are six simple rules for updating the values (taken almost verbatim from the Libtool docs): 1. Start with version information of "0:0:0" for each shared library. 2. Update the version information only immediately before a public release of your software. More frequent updates are unnecessary, and only guarantee that the current interface number gets larger faster. 3. If the library source code has changed at all since the last update, then increment revision ("c:r:a" becomes "c:r+1:a"). 4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the last update, increment current, and set revision to 0. 5. If any interfaces have been added since the last public release, then increment age. 6. If any interfaces have been removed since the last public release, then set age to 0. Here's how we apply those rules specifically to Open MPI: 1. The above rules do not apply to MCA components (a.k.a. "plugins"); MCA component .so versions stay unspecified. 2. The above rules apply exactly as written to the following libraries starting with Open MPI version v1.5 (prior to v1.5, libopen-pal and libopen-rte were still at 0:0:0 for reasons discussed in bug ticket #2092 https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2092): * libopen-rte * libopen-pal * libmca_common_* 3. The following libraries use a slightly modified version of the above rules: rules 4, 5, and 6 only apply to the official MPI interfaces (functions, global variables). The rationale for this decision is that the vast majority of our users only care about the official/public MPI interfaces; we therefore want the .so version number to reflect only changes to the official MPI API. Put simply: non-MPI API / internal changes to the MPI-application-facing libraries are irrelevant to pure MPI applications. * libmpi * libmpi_mpifh * libmpi_usempi_tkr * libmpi_usempi_ignore_tkr * libmpi_usempif08 * libmpi_cxx 4. Note, however, that libmpi.so can have its "revision" number incremented if libopen-rte or libopen-pal change (because these two libraries are wholly included in libmpi.so). Specifically: the revision will change, but since we have defined that the only relevant API interface in libmpi.so is the official MPI API, updates to libopen-rte and libopen-pal do not change the "current" or "age" numbers of libmpi.so. Application Binary Interface (ABI) Compatibility ------------------------------------------------ Open MPI provided forward application binary interface (ABI) compatibility for MPI applications starting with v1.3.2. Prior to that version, no ABI guarantees were provided. NOTE: Prior to v1.3.2, subtle and strange failures are almost guaranteed to occur if applications were compiled and linked against shared libraries from one version of Open MPI and then run with another. The Open MPI team strongly discourages making any ABI assumptions before v1.3.2. Starting with v1.3.2, Open MPI provides forward ABI compatibility in all versions of a given feature release series and its corresponding super stable series. For example, on a single platform, an MPI application linked against Open MPI v1.3.2 shared libraries can be updated to point to the shared libraries in any successive v1.3.x or v1.4 release and still work properly (e.g., via the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or other operating system mechanism). For the v1.7 series, this means that all releases of v1.7.x and v1.8.x will be ABI compatible, per the above definition. Note that in v1.5.4, a fix was applied to the "large" size of the "use mpi" F90 MPI bindings module: two of MPI_SCATTERV's parameters had the wrong type and were corrected. Note that this fix *only* applies if Open MPI was configured with a Fortran 90 compiler and the --with-mpi-f90-size=large configure option. However, in order to preserve the ABI with respect to prior v1.5.x releases, the old/incorrect MPI_SCATTERV interface was preserved in 1.5.5 and all 1.6.x releases. A new/corrected interface was added (note that Fortran 90 has function overloading, similar to C++; hence, both the old and new interface can be accessed via "call MPI_Scatterv(...)"). The incorrect interface was removed in Open MPI v1.7. To be clear: applications that use the old/incorrect MPI_SCATTERV binding will no longer be able to compile properly (*). Developers must fix their applications or use an older version of Open MPI. (*) Note that using this incorrect MPI_SCATTERV interface will not be recongized in v1.7 if you are using gfortran (as of gfortran v4.8). This is because gfortran <=v4.8 does not (yet) have the support Open MPI needs for its new, full-featured "mpi" and "mpi_f08" modules. Hence, Open MPI falls back to the same "mpi" module from the v1.6 series, but the "large" size of that module -- which contains the MPI_SCATTERV interface -- been disabled because it is broken. Further, this "large" sized (old) "mpi" module has been deemed unworthy of fixing because it has been wholly replaced by a new, full-featured "mpi" module. We anticipate supporting gfortran in the new, full-featured module in the future. Open MPI reserves the right to break ABI compatibility at new feature release series. For example, the same MPI application from above (linked against Open MPI v1.3.2 shared libraries) will *not* work with Open MPI v1.5 shared libraries.

Des Plaines Theater
1476 Miner Street,
Des Plaines,
20 people favorited this theater
The Des Plaines Theater was opened as a vaudeville/movies house on August 9, 1925 with Adolphe Menjou in "Are Parents People" plus five acts of vaudeville on the stage. Built for the Polka Brothers circuit, the theater was designed by architect William B. Betts of neighboring Park Ridge, who also designed the Glen Theatre (now the Glen Art Theatre) in west suburban Glen Ellyn among other theaters. The Spanish Moorish style foyer led into a Spanish Renaissance style auditorium, which originally seated 1,018 patrons and had a large stage and orchestra pit. The theatre was equipped with a 3 manual Geneva theatre organ which was installed in December 1925, and removed from the theatre in August 1934. The theater's exterior was in an Art Deco style, complete with bright, multi-colored terra cotta on the facade.
In 1935, members of the Balaban family (of the Balaban & Katz chain fame) purchased the Des Plaines Theater, and it became primarily a first-run movie house. That same year, the theater was remodeled by the firm of Pereira & Pereira, adding some Art Deco style touches, especially to the marquee. In 1982, a fire nearly destroyed the theater, but it was reopened a couple years later as a twin, with each auditorium seating about 275 patrons and screening second-run films.
The Des Plaines received a much-needed renovation in 1998, and showed primarily first-run East Indian films until closing in early-2003.
The Des Plaines Theater was again showing East Indian movies in 2006 and 2007, but was not been used since January 2008 when the theater was used to for a special showing of "High School Musical 2" hosted by Radio Disney. It then re-opened as a performing arts venue, which also shows movies.
In October 2010, work began converting the theater back to a single auditorium. Renovations were completed and the theater re-opened on November 11, 2011. Seating is now provided for 700, with hopes of adding a further 250 seats in the near future. Programming live theatre, Bollywood movies, independent movies, and hopes of including Hollywood movies and film festivals.

I'm really looking forward to the fact this will be reopening on Friday. I'm very glad it'll no longer be a twin theater, a la what occurred with the Portage.
Hopefully, pics of the renovated interior emerge somewhere online…
There are some on the Revitalize Des Plaines facebook page. We're working right down to the wire, but I'll be sure to post some next week.
Restoration in progress:
Account of the reopening:
As one who remembers the theatre as a dingy twin in the 80's this is fantastic to see. I salute the effort and hope it serves the community for years to come.
New website is up at http://www.desplainestheatre.com. Photos from the grand opening will be up in a few days.
It was nice to see it "de-twinned" Friday night.
A note to Cinema Treasures Admins. It has not been possible to access links that are embedded within posts, since the website makeover. Is there something that can be done to correct that?
David, the links embedding is working correctly as you can see here but people aren't using the correct process to post links within posts.
The principals of Pereira & Pereira, the firm that did the 1935 remodeling of the Des Plaines Theatre, were William Pereira and Hal Pereira. Percival Pereira was an older architect who was never a member of this firm.
This article from the 1/11/13 Journal talks about the manager of the Des Plaines Theater being given six months by the Building Code Commission of the City of Des Plaines to make several key safety improvements, or possibly be shut down. Alderman Mark Walstein said at the meeting, "This committee has taken a very good step to put a business out of business."
A section of the Des Plaines Theater's auditorium ceiling collapsed forcing the cancellation of shows scheduled this coming weekend at the theater.
According to this article in the Daily Herald, the Des Plaines Theater has reopened after repairs have been made to the ceiling which collapsed almost half a year ago. The Silent Summer Film Festival has been moved from the shuttered Portage Theater in Chicago to the Des Plaines Theater for six weeks starting July 19th. The the theater is also booked for a month and a half starting in October for a live musical called "Etude". Owner Dhitu Bhagwakar says he will resume showing Indian movies again on the large screen and a Punjabi youth festival has been scheduled as well. Bhagwakar has been given until January 14th to bring the theater to code compliance including installing a fire resistant curtain for live acts, a sprinkler system in the stage area, issues with the boiler and furnace (the theater has no air conditioning or heat) and restrooms that are currently not compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Owner Bhagwakar says he doesn't know at this time if he'll be able to complete the repairs within the city's time frame.

May one allow children to play in water on minor fasts? Are the rules the same (depending whom you follow) as for an adult?
From the Mishna Brurah 550:5 it seems that children who understand what happened on those days should definitely participate with the tzibbur as much as he can. | |||

Generic Name | Brand Name |
cytarabine, cytosine arabinoside | Cytarabine, Cytosar-U, DepoCyt |
Cytarabine is given intravenously. Sometimes it is given as a shot under the skin or directly into the spinal fluid. It can be given in a low, average, or high dose.
How It Works
Cytarabine is classified as an antimetabolite. It kills cancer cells by interfering with the way they multiply.
Why It Is Used
Cytarabine is used to treat acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is sometimes used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and some types of brain tumors.
How Well It Works
Cytarabine is an effective antitumor drug. But the type and extent of a cancer determines how well this drug slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Cytarabine is often combined with other drugs.
Side Effects
Cytarabine is often given with another medicine called dexamethasone. This is done to prevent a possibly fatal side effect called chemical arachnoiditis. This causes symptoms that include nausea, vomiting, headache, and fever. Your doctor will watch you closely when you are given cytarabine.
Other side effects that are common with cytarabine include:
- Decreased white blood cell counts (leukopenia) and red blood cell counts (anemia).
- Decreased platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), which may lead to bleeding in the digestive tract causing tarry stools. It may also cause bleeding under the skin, in the urine, or other places in the body.
- Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
- Headaches or seizures.
- Hair loss. This is reversible, and hair will grow back when treatment ends.
- Mouth sores (stomatitis).
- Slurred speech and difficulty walking (ataxia).
Peripheral neuropathies, which may be irreversible and
may be made worse by exercise. Symptoms include:
- Numbness and tingling.
- Unsteadiness when standing or walking.
- Clumsiness of the hands and feet.
- Cough and hoarseness.
- Eye problems, such as blurred vision or the inability to see colors.
- Kidney damage.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Cytarabine should be used only under the supervision of a medical oncologist or hematologist.
You may not be able to get pregnant or father a child after taking this drug. Discuss this with your doctor before starting treatment.
Cytarabine can cause birth defects. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking it.
