Retroperitoneum exists () - Oct 1, 2021 - Abstract #EUSEM2021EUSEM_3517;
We started on intravenous pain killers with fentanyl, with partial improvement...The single adrenal metastases are associated with this type of cancer, especially to the epidermoid variant, but its bleeding is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose, since retroperitoneum is an anatomic area hard to explore. Therefore, when attending a patient with abdominal pain which also have back pain, we must not forget possible causes located in that space, because once they are established, they can cause potentially mortal problems

Journal: Emergence of Wasp Dope in Rural Appalachian Kentucky. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2021
Among people who use drugs in rural Kentucky, USA, nearly one in six people surveyed reported using wasp dope in the past 6 months, rivaling the percentage using cocaine/crack and fentanyl/carfentanil use. Wasp dope use was higher among men and strongly associated with homelessness, transportation access, methamphetamine use, and injection drug use.

Clinical: Ultrasound-guided serratus plane block as an effective adjunct to systemic analgesia in four dogs undergoing thoracotomy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2021
The analgesia protocol consisted of intravenous methadone and UGSPB performed half an hour before the beginning of the procedure...Fentanyl, although available as rescue analgesia, was not required in any of these cases as no signs of nociception were present...Based on this observation, UGSPB has the potential to prevent nociception and reduce the intraoperative opioid requirements in dogs undergoing thoracotomy. A prospective randomized clinical trial is required to confirm these promising results.

In this report, we show that iodide functionalization of the printed sensors helps to remove adsorbed contaminants from AuNP surfaces enabling superior performance with improved detection of narcotics such as fentanyl, heroin and cocaine by SERS...Alternatively, we have also demonstrated that iodide functionalized sensors can be stored in ambient for up to 1 week and retain the improved performance towards heroin detection. This report will help to significantly improve the performance of paper-based sensors for field detection of narcotic drugs.

Journal: THE EVOLVING CONSEQUENCES OF OXYCONTIN REFORMULATION ON DRUG OVERDOSES. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 28, 2021
More exposed areas experienced disproportionate increases in fatal overdoses involving synthetic opioids (fentanyl) and nonopioid substances like cocaine, suggesting that these new epidemics are related to the same factors driving the rise in heroin deaths. Instead of just short-term substitution from prescription opioid to heroin overdoses, the transition to illicit markets spurred by reformulation led to growth in the overall overdose rate to unprecedented levels.

Journal: Demand for fentanyl becomes inelastic following extended access to fentanyl vapor self-administration. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 26, 2021
After seven ShA vs. LgA sessions, we assessed demand again and found that LgA rats, contrasted to ShA rats, demonstrated significantly higher baseline intake or "hedonic setpoint" (Q), in addition to significantly increased EV and O. These results demonstrate that extended access to self-administration of a vaporized opioid causes changes in behavioral economic metrics consistent with development of an addiction-like state in rats. The combination of the vapor model with a translationally relevant behavioral economics framework opens new avenues to study dysregulated motivational processes in substance use disorders.

The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic effect (reduction in pain by arrival to hospital) and safety (e.g. adverse drug reactions) (co-primary endpoints) of intravenous lidocaine versus intravenous fentanyl in 300 adult patients attended by ambulance with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)...Conclusions The evaluation of alternative analgesic agents in the management of acute coronary syndromes is urgently needed to manage the opioid-P2Y inhibitor interaction. The results of this trial will have significant implications on the emergency management of acute coronary syndromes internationally.

[VIRTUAL] Propofol Induced Procedural Excitation Rather Than Sedation in an Adolescent Patient () - Sep 25, 2021 - Abstract #AAPNCE2021AAP_NCE_1356;
Patient’s diagnosis was propofol induced myoclonus, a rare side effect with cases only reported in adults. Propofol induced myoclonus’s association in demyelinating disease is less understood and warrants further research to better understand the underlying mechanism for anticipating sedation complications and clinical management.
