Clinical, Journal: Pharmacological strategies in multimodal analgesia for adults scheduled for ambulatory surgery. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 2, 2020 Weaker opioids (e.g. oxycodone, hydrocodone, tramadol) could be used rather than more powerful ones (e.g. morphine, hydromorphone, inhaled fentanyl, sufentanil). This, combined with education about postoperative weaning of opioids after surgery must be done in order to avoid long-term reliance of these drugs.

Clinical, PK/PD data, Review, Journal: Opioids: A Review of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Neonates, Infants, and Children. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2020 Mild pain is usually managed quite well with oral acetaminophen or ibuprofen...This review provides pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evidence on the currently available opioids: morphine, fentanyl (and derivatives), codeine, meperidine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, methadone, buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocin, ketobemidone, tramadol, piritramide, naloxone and naltrexone...Outside the premature and neonatal population, the use of opioids in infants, children, and adolescents quickly begins to resemble the established values found in adults. As such, the concerns (risks) of these medications become comparable to those seen in adults.

A case of HGB S/O Arab’s disease in a hispanic male, case report and literature review () - Jan 4, 2020 - Abstract #WSMRF2020WSMRF_490; He had stopped his daily hydroxyurea and folic acid approximately 3 months prior...We present the first documented and reported case of Hb S/OArab in a Hispanic male. The gene frequency of Hb S/OArab is unknown, though, per Zimmerman et.al., of the estimated 1500-2000 sickle cell infants born each year, it is possible that several of them are Hb S/OArab cases.

Journal: Evaluation of opioid prescribing after rescheduling of hydrocodone-containing products. (Pubmed Central) - May 30, 2019 Reductions in hydrocodone exposure and associated decreases in Drug Liking relative to HB suggest that the prodrug benzhydrocodone may deter intranasal abuse. The rescheduling of HCPs resulted in a reduction in HCP prescriptions but was accompanied by increases in the use of codeine-containing products and tramadol in all settings.

Clinical, Journal, HEOR: Self-reported prevalence, description and management of pain in adults with haemophilia: methods, demographics and results from the Pain, Functional Impairment, and Quality of life (P-FiQ) study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2018 Patients with chronic pain, particularly those with both acute/chronic pain, frequently experience psychological issues, functional disability and reduced HRQoL. Treatment strategies for acute pain (e.g. routine infusions to prevent bleeding) and for chronic pain (e.g. long-acting opioids) may be underused.
