Journal: The role of managed care professionals and pharmacists in combating opioid abuse. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 24, 2019 In addition, the expenses associated with drug use disorders are comparable to the costs of other chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Policymakers, criminal justice officials, and healthcare providers consider illicit drug and opioid misuse a national epidemic that must be addressed more strongly to improve pain management in the United States, optimize patient outcomes, and decrease unlawful drug use for pain relief.

Clinical, Journal: The Effect of Nitroglycerine Infusion on Postoperative Pain in Lower Limb Surgery: A Clinical Double-Blind Study. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 24, 2019 Patients were randomly assigned to receive three regimens for postoperative pain control via intravenous analgesia pump, including group A (fentanyl 10mc/kg + 10 mL distilled water), B (fentanyl 10 mc/kg + nitroglycerin 500 mc), and C (fentanyl 10 mc/kg + nitroglycerin 1000 mc)...The HR, MAP, and VAS mean scores showed a significant difference for intragroup and intergroup differences in the three groups at many times. Low dose nitroglycerine, as an adjuvant drug, can be added to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump in patients undergoing surgery for better analgesic purposes in patients without underlining disease.

Journal: Synthesis and μ-Opioid Activity of the Primary Metabolites of Carfentanil. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 23, 2019 Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid significantly more potent than clinically prescribed fentanyl...Three other metabolites showed significant MOR functional activity. The availability of the metabolites could aid improvements in the analysis of biomedical samples obtained from suspected human exposures to carfentanil and development of treatment protocols.

Clinical, Journal: Variation in Pediatric Procedural Sedations Across Children's Hospital Emergency Departments. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2019 The availability of the metabolites could aid improvements in the analysis of biomedical samples obtained from suspected human exposures to carfentanil and development of treatment protocols. There is significant variability across pediatric EDs in the use of procedural sedation, suggesting sedations may be performed too often or too little in some hospitals.

Journal: Trends in Opioid Prescribing and Dispensing by Veterinarians in Pennsylvania. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2019 The extent to which these data may represent similar volumes of prescriptions from the general veterinary practices and hospitals across the United States is suggested by the accompanying Pennsylvania state data. These findings highlight an opportunity to assess the risk of veterinarian opioid prescriptions to safeguard public health.

Clinical, Review, Journal: The role of rapid onset fentanyl products in the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2019 However, the treatment of breakthrough pain should be adjusted to suit specific patient requirements. Nevertheless, particularly in predictable bursts of pain and also in spontaneous episodes of breakthrough pain with slowly intensifying pain, immediate-release formulations of opioids may play an important role.

Journal: Changes in serum cortisol and blood glucose concentrations in anesthetized, pain-free dogs administered fentanyl. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2019 Nevertheless, particularly in predictable bursts of pain and also in spontaneous episodes of breakthrough pain with slowly intensifying pain, immediate-release formulations of opioids may play an important role. Fentanyl, administered at analgesic doses to healthy, pain-free, anesthetized dogs, was not associated with significant changes in serum cortisol or glucose concentrations in the studied population.

Journal: Designing Traceable Opioid Material Kits to Improve Laboratory Testing During the U.S. Opioid Overdose Crisis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 22, 2019 Since 2013, there have been significant increases in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids - particularly those involving illicitly-manufactured fentanyl...These kits were designed to dramatically increase laboratory capability to confirm which opioids are on the streets and causing deaths. The kits are free to U.S based laboratories in the public, private, clinical, law enforcement, research, and public health domains.

Review, Journal: Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia in the Nonsurgical Setting: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 21, 2019 However, due to conflicting conclusions and various limitations, the clinical impact of OIH could not be assessed. Clinicians should monitor for effects of OIH in the nonoperative setting because there is insufficient evidence from the available literature to conclude that OIH is consistently observed in this setting.

Journal: Oral Feeding Outcome after Analgesic and Sedative Exposure in VLBW Preterm Infant. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 21, 2019 Clinicians should monitor for effects of OIH in the nonoperative setting because there is insufficient evidence from the available literature to conclude that OIH is consistently observed in this setting. Analgesic and sedative exposure in VLBW infants is highly associated with poor oral feeding and need for tube feedings at discharge.

Journal: DARK Classics in Chemical Neuroscience: Fentanyl. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 21, 2019 Despite this controversial history, derivatization of fentanyl has resulted in numerous synthetic analogues that provide valuable insights into opioid receptor binding and signaling events. In this review, the impact of fentanyl on chemical neuroscience is shown through its synthesis and properties, manufacturing, metabolism, pharmacology, approved and off-label indications, adverse effects, and the responsibility it has in the opioid epidemic.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Intranasal therapy with opioids for children and adolescents with cancer: results from clinical studies. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 19, 2019 Fentanyl is a lipophilic opioid commonly proposed for intranasal use among pediatric patients, but no studies have been conducted yet about intranasal use of other available opioids for management of pediatric cancer pain. In this review, we analyze several elements which may influence absorption of intranasal opioids in children and adolescents, with a focus on pharmacokinetics and therapeutic aspects of each opioid currently available for intranasal use.

Clinical, Journal: Long-term tracking of opioid consumption in two United States cities using wastewater-based epidemiology approach. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 19, 2019 Anticipated overdoses and overdose-deaths calculated from analyte concentrations in wastewater forecasted 200 opioid-related overdoses/year and 39 opioid related overdose-deaths/year across the two cities during the year 2016, which aligned well with observed coroner-reported opioid deaths. This long-term U.S. screening study of opioids in wastewater was the first to utilize wastewater epidemiological data to estimate the number of expected overdose and overdose-deaths, and to identify detectable levels of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl in community wastewater consistently over the course of one whole year.
