Dear Readers, You are already enlightened with theory behind the PLAGIARISM with the beautiful blogs kept by our fellow leaders. Here is an attempt to bring the practical way of applying that knowledge to give further clarity to the readers/ learners.Let us see the ways of presenting data on our well known ASPIRIN!

Wong Way of presenting the data: Committed Plagiarism	RIGHT way of presenting the data: NO Plagiarism
Inhibition of COX-2 enzyme is the secret behind antipyretic, analgesic and antiinflammatory actions of NSAIDs. Complications of NSAID therapy like gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and renal toxicity are due to inhibition of COX-1.	The antipyretic, analgesic, and antiinflammatory actions of NSAIDs are related to their ability to inhibit COX-2. Side effects such as gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and renal toxicity are a result of the inhibition of COX-1 and are well known complications of NSAID therapy.¹
Do you know! Aspirin should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox. Aspirin can cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in children	Aspirin should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox.

There will be potential Attenuation of the Anti-Platelet Effect of Aspirin upon Concomitant Use of Ibuprofen and Aspirin	Concomitant Use of Ibuprofen and Aspirin results in Potential Attenuation of the Anti-Platelet Effect of Aspirin³
Amazing fact, the prolonged administration of a typical regimenof delayed-release diclofenac (twice daily) did not inhibitthe antiplatelet effect of enteric-coated aspirin.	“The prolonged administration of a typical regimenof delayed-release diclofenac (twice daily) did not inhibit the antiplatelet effect of enteric-coated aspirin”⁴ as reported b Catella-Lawson et al.
Naproxen interferes with the inhibitory effect of aspirin onplatelet COX-1 activity and function resulting in the undermine sustained inhibition of platelet COX-1 thatis necessary for aspirin’s cardioprotective effects.	In 2005 Capone ML et al reported that “Naproxen interfered with the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet COX-1 activity and function. This pharmacodynamic interactionmight undermine the sustained inhibition of platelet COX-1 thatis necessary for aspirin’s cardioprotective effects”.⁵
Good news to Breast Cancer patients: Aspirin can significantly reduce the risk of cancer spread and death for women who have been treated for early stage breast cancer.	"This is the first study to find that aspirin can significantly reduce the risk of cancer spread and death for women who have been treated for early stage breast cancer, " said Dr. Michelle Holmes of Harvard Medical School, who led the study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.⁶
