Observational data, Journal: Postoperative Opioid Usage and Disposal Strategies After Arthroscopic Procedures in a Young Cohort: A Prospective Observational Study. (Pubmed Central) - May 17, 2024 Patients were prescribed either 5 mg hydrocodone-325 mg acetaminophen or 5 mg oxycodone-325 mg acetaminophen based on surgeon preference...Opioid medication consumption was converted to morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs)...Approximately 60% of total opioids prescribed went unused, and one-fourth of patients intended to keep their remaining medication for future usage. We have provided general prescribing guidelines and recommend that surgeons carefully consider customizing their opioid prescriptions on the basis of procedure site to balance optimal postoperative analgesia with avoidance of dissemination of excess opioids.

Clinical, Journal, Surgery: How low can we go? A randomized controlled trial of low-quantity initial opioid prescriptions for shoulder surgery. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2024 After shoulder surgery, an initial prescription of fewer opioid pills was associated with less maximum possible opioid consumption without an increase in the percentage of patients requesting opioid refills or contacting the provider's office for pain-related concerns. An initial postoperative prescription of fewer 5-mg oxycodone pills may be equally or more effective compared with larger quantities for most patients.

Journal: Behavioral and pharmacological characterization of planarian nociception. (Pubmed Central) - May 16, 2024 Secondly, the NSAID meloxicam drastically reduced chemically-induced scrunching by up to 60% and reduced heat avoidance in place preference tests. Thus, we managed to characterize both behavioral and pharmacological aspects of G. dorotocephala's nociception, further developing the use of planarians as a replacement model in pain studies and more globally the study of invertebrate nociception.

Preclinical, Review, Journal: Advances in animal models of prenatal opioid exposure. (Pubmed Central) - May 15, 2024 Early animal models of prenatal opioid exposure primarily used the prototypical opioid, morphine, and opioid exposure that was often limited to a narrow period during gestation...Newer models utilize both prescription and nonprescription opioids and vary the onset and duration of opioid exposure. In this review, we summarize novel prenatal opioid exposure models developed in recent years and attempt to reconcile results between studies while critically identifying gaps within the current literature.

Journal: Comparison Between Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Serratus Anterior Plane Block Regarding Analgesia and Stress Response After Modified Radical Mastectomy: Randomized Controlled Trial. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2024 Statistically significant reductions in pain scores were observed in group A compared to groups B and C. Moreover, group A exhibited a significant decrease in postoperative morphine consumption, serum cortisol levels 1 hour post-surgery (P = 0.021), MAP, and postoperative vomiting and nausea compared to group B. Furthermore, groups A and B showed statistically significant improvements in all parameters compared to group C. The study demonstrates that ESPB provides superior analgesic effects compared to SAPB in patients undergoing MRM, with reduced morphine use and lower postoperative cortisol levels. Both blocks offer more effective pain control than intravenous morphine alone.

Journal: A Series of 8 Illicit Fentanyl Intoxication Deaths in Infants and Toddlers. (Pubmed Central) - May 13, 2024 As illicit fentanyl use increases, there is a potential for infant exposure and death. The investigation and certification of these deaths and the role of intentional administration versus inadvertent exposure due to caregiver neglect in the context of the certification of the manner of death are described.

This study provides a reliable primary NCP model induced by LCN ligation in rats using a simple, minimally invasive surgery technique, which may help shed light on the underlying cellular and molecular bases of NCP and aid in developing a new treatment for the disease.

Retrospective data, Journal, HEOR: Impact of overdose on health plan disenrollment among patients prescribed long-term opioids: Retrospective cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2024 Among patients prescribed long-term opioids, overdose events were strongly associated with subsequent health plan disenrollment, especially among primary commercial insurance beneficiaries. These findings raise concerns about the social consequences of overdose, including potential health insurance loss, which may limit patient access to care at a time of heightened vulnerability.

(Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2024 These findings raise concerns about the social consequences of overdose, including potential health insurance loss, which may limit patient access to care at a time of heightened vulnerability. Compared to morphine, prehospital analgesia with nalbuphine?+?paracetamol yields favourable effects in terms of analgesic effectiveness and a lower rate of complications and should therefore be considered in future recommendations for prehospital analgesia.

Review, Journal: Unraveling the protective effects of curcumin against drugs of abuse. (Pubmed Central) - May 10, 2024 These include the modulation of inflammatory cytokines, maintenance of ion homeostasis, epigenetic regulation, enhancement of antioxidant capacity, as well as the activation of the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathways. These findings suggest that curcumin emerges as a promising therapeutic agent in combatting the detrimental effects induced by drugs of abuse, and further research is warranted to fully comprehend the molecular pathways and optimize its utilization for the prevention and treatment of substance abuse-related neurotoxicity.

This data was used to develop a calculator for post-discharge opioid prescription size using two factors: 1) age of the patient, 2) oral morphine equivalents (OME) used by patients the day before hospital discharge...The surplus of opioids our patients reported having at home decreased from 1264 doses of 5

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal, Surgery: Intrathecal Morphine for Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. (Pubmed Central) - May 9, 2024 Our meta-analysis concluded that preoperative intrathecal morphine is associated with lower postoperative morphine consumption at 24 h following cardiac surgeries, without prolonging the time to extubation. The use of preoperative intrathecal morphine can be considered part of a multimodal analgesic and opioid-sparing strategy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
