Antiinflammatory Action of Glucocorticoids — New Mechanisms for Old Drugs

Steroids have adverse effects: growth retardation in children, immunosuppression, hypertension, inhibition of wound repair, osteoporosis, and metabolic disturbances. All these harmful properties contraindicate prolonged glucocorticoid therapy. Unfortunately, because some of these mechanisms are also involved in physiologic signaling rather than inflammatory signaling, the therapeutic effects of glucocorticoids in inflammation are often accompanied by clinically significant side effects.

Medicine is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do.

— Atul Gawande
It’s easy to make perfect decisions with perfect information. Medicine asks you to make perfect decisions with imperfect information.
