Journal: Xylazine, a Veterinary Tranquilizer, Detected in 42 Accidental Fentanyl Intoxication Deaths. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2021 Detection of xylazine may help the forensic pathologist distinguish illicit from prescribed fentanyl, and law enforcement agents track the illicit drugs to a specific drug supplier. Because of its lack of response to naloxone, emergency medicine physicians need to be aware of its potential presence as it may affect therapy.

Clinical, Journal: Parturient Controlled Epidural Analgesia with and without Basal Infusion of Ropivacaine and Fentanyl: A Randomized Trial. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2021 In PCEA + BI group, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score was 0.07 ± 0.35 at 60 min and 0.06 ± 0.33 at 120 min, whereas in PCEA group, VAS was 0.32 ± 0.62 at 60 min and 0.26 ± 0.50 at 120 min (P = 0.05), respectively. BI when added to PCEA, it significantly reduces breakthrough labor pain and demand boluses without prolonging labor duration but at the cost of increased requirement of drug volume when compared to PCEA only group.

Preclinical, Journal: Impact of Morphine Dependence and Withdrawal on the Reinforcing Effectiveness of Fentanyl, Cocaine, and Methamphetamine in Rats. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2021 The current studies provide direct evidence that the reinforcing effects of fentanyl are increased in opioid-withdrawn rats and reduced in opioid-dependent rats, relative to rats that are not physically dependent on opioids. These findings suggest that motivations to use opioids are dependent on the state of the individual whereas stimulants retain their reinforcing effects regardless of whether the individual is in an opioid-dependent or withdrawn state.

Journal: Chronic High Risk Prescription Opioid Use Among Persons With HIV. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2021 Our findings show that despite opioid prescribing guidelines and monitoring systems, additional efforts are needed to prevent chronic high risk prescriptions in patients with comorbid conditions, including pain-related, mental health and substance use disorders. Evidence about the risk for chronic high risk use based on prescribing patterns could better inform pain management and opioid prescribing practices for patients receiving HIV care.

Journal: Adequacy of Anesthesia Guidance for Colonoscopy Procedures. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 3, 2021 In patients undergoing CPs under ISA using propofol and FNT, as compared to standard practice, intraprocedural SE monitoring reduced the rate of IAwR and IPP, with no influence on the rate of PPP, PONV, or patients' and endoscopists' satisfaction. AoA guidance on propofol and FNT titration, as compared to SE monitoring only, did not reduce the occurrence of the aforementioned studied parameters, imposing an unnecessary extra cost.

Journal: Fentanyl and fentanyl analogs in the illicit stimulant supply: Results from U.S. drug seizure data, 2011-2016. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 2, 2021 Although relatively uncommon, the presence of fentanyl in the stimulant supply increased significantly between 2011 and 2016, with the greatest increases occuring between 2015-2016; the presence of these products was concentrated in the U.S. Northeast. Given these trends, strengthening community-based drug checking programs and surveillance within the public health infrastructure could help promote timely responses to novel threats posed by rapid shifts in the drug supply that may lead to inadvertent exposures.

Journal: Lower, Variable Intrathecal Opioid Doses, and the Incidence of Prolonged Fetal Heart Rate Decelerations After Combined Spinal Epidural Analgesia for Labor: A Quality Improvement Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 1, 2021 There were no differences in the rates of prolonged fetal decelerations (in order of increasing fentanyl dose: 4.4%, 2.3%, 7.6%, 3.0%, p-value = 0.11), emergent cesarean delivery, magnitude of pain reduction, pruritus, or maternal hypotension. In conclusion, the rates of prolonged fetal heart rate decelerations after combined spinal epidural with intrathecal bupivacaine and fentanyl does not differ for fentanyl doses of 15 mcg and below.

Journal: μ-Opioid receptors in primary sensory neurons are involved in supraspinal opioid analgesia. (Pubmed Central) - May 29, 2021 We generated Oprm1 conditional knockout (Oprm1-cKO) mice by crossing Advillin mice with Oprm1 mice...Intracerebroventricular injection of morphine or fentanyl produced a potent analgesic effect in wild-type mice, but such an effect was significantly attenuated in Oprm1-cKO mice...Our findings indicate that MORs expressed at primary afferent terminals in the spinal cord contribute to the supraspinal opioid analgesic effect. These presynaptic MORs in the spinal cord may serve as an interface between ascending inhibition and descending modulation that are involved in opioid analgesia.

Journal: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of novel cis and trans 3-substituted anilidopiperidines. (Pubmed Central) - May 29, 2021 These presynaptic MORs in the spinal cord may serve as an interface between ascending inhibition and descending modulation that are involved in opioid analgesia. Of ten compounds tested for their antinociceptive activity, compound cis-4 is characterized by high potency, rapid beginning and short duration of action and due to this might be incorporated in different pharmaceutical forms.

These results support the potential and further clinical evaluation of this fentanyl-targeted vaccine as a candidate Opioid Use Disorder medication.

Preclinical, Journal: Discriminative stimulus effects of carfentanil in rats discriminating fentanyl: Differential antagonism by naltrexone. (Pubmed Central) - May 29, 2021 Differences in the effectiveness of naltrexone to attenuate the discriminative stimulus effects of carfentanil, compared with fentanyl and heroin, suggest that there may be differences in how carfentanil exerts its discriminative stimulus effects compared with other opioids. Further evaluation is needed of potential pharmacological and behavioral differences between carfentanil and other opioids, particularly in the context of toxicity.

Oral pregabalin for cardiac surgery patients can effectively reduce the patient's 24-hour morphine consumption after surgery, shorten the patient's hospital stay, and is more conducive to early postoperative recovery.

Journal: Pronounced Dead Twice: What Should an Attending Physician Do in Between? (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2021 CONCLUSIONS What should an attending physician do in the rare case that the organ procurement team notices the patient is still alive? It is our opinion that: first, the organ procurement team should leave the room immediately and withdraw from the case, and second, the attending physician should let nature run its course and refrain from excessive medical intervention.

Conclusion The effect of preemptively administered tramadol prior to the introduction of general anaesthesia in postoperative pain is significantly more favourable than the effect of metamizole.
