Journal: Fentanyl Detection Using Eosin Y Paper Assays. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 Finally, eosin Y was able to detect fentanyl in forensic case samples containing heroin and various cutting agents. Based on our results, eosin Y has the potential to screen for fentanyl and fentanyl analogues and can detect fentanyl in low amounts when mixed with common cutting agents.

Journal: Dose and cardiopulmonary effects of propofol alone or with midazolam for induction of anesthesia in critically ill dogs. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 Based on our results, eosin Y has the potential to screen for fentanyl and fentanyl analogues and can detect fentanyl in low amounts when mixed with common cutting agents. Midazolam co-induction reduced the propofol induction dose and improved the quality of induction in critically ill dogs without an improvement in cardiopulmonary variables, when compared with a higher dose of propofol alone.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 During general anesthesia, binaural beat (BB) listening has been found to reduce intraoperative fentanyl consumption as well as postoperative pain scores and discharge time...BB stimulation before surgery can be successfully used as a nonpharmacological treatment to reduce morphine consumption in older adults who undergo knee replacement. The use of a noninvasive, safe, and inexpensive BB intervention can result in a positive effect on patients' postoperative recovery.

Journal: The cost of opioid use disorder and the value of aversion. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 The age-specific values of averting an OUD allow for more robust and targeted economic evaluations of competing interventions to reduce the burden of opioids on multiple stakeholders. The rise in the annual OUD-related cost largely reflects the increase in overdose deaths attributable to synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl).

Clinical, Journal: Prescribing of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, Tramadol, and Opioids in Children: Patterns of Its Utilization. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 Prescriptions for nine NSAIDs (diclofenac, ketoprofen, etoricoxib, celecoxib, ibuprofen, indomethacin, mefenamic acid, meloxicam, and naproxen), tramadol, and five other opioids (morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, buprenorphine, and dihydrocodeine) prescribed for children aged 12 y.o.) with the majority for naproxen (13-15 y.o. (28.2%) and 16-17 y.o. (28.2%). Other frequently prescribed analgesics for older children included ibuprofen (20.6%) and diclofenac (18.2%) for 12-15 y.o. and diclofenac (26.7%) and tramadol (17.6%) for 16-17 y.o. Ibuprofen was the primary analgesic for children less than 12 y.o., whereas there was a wide range of analgesics prescribed for children age >12 y.o. including naproxen, diclofenac, and tramadol.

Journal: Ten Years of Strong Opioid Analgesics Consumption in Malaysia and Other Southeast Asian Countries. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 Growing trends of strong opioids consumption in all five Southeast Asian countries demonstrated in this study may indicate improved access to opioid analgesics in these countries. Given the increasing trends, it is important to ensure that the utilization of opioids is according to the guideline to prevent the negative consequences of opioids particularly when used in chronic non-cancer pain.

Clinical, Journal: Long-Term Cognitive Outcomes and Sleep in Adults After Extracorporeal Life Support. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 No statistically significant difference was seen between patients treated with or without venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the mean daily Riker Sedation Agitation Score; however, patients in the venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation group received greater amounts of fentanyl over their ICU stay as compared to patients receiving conventional mechanical ventilation only (p < 0.001)...In this small retrospective case series, no significant differences were found in sleep or cognitive outcomes between extracorporeal life support and non-extracorporeal life support survivors. Further, in this hypothesis-generating study, differences in administered sedative doses during the ICU stay seen between the two groups did not impact 6- or 12-month cognitive performance or actigraphy-estimated sleep time.

Journal: Trends in opioid prescribing in Estonia (2011-2017). (Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2021 The use of the most potent opioids (morphine, fentanyl) was higher in noncancer than in cancer patients. The use of prescription opioids is low, and raises concern about the potential undertreatment of cancer pain, in parallel with misuse of opioids for either noncancer pain or diversion.
