Phosphorylation-deficient G-protein-biased μ-opioid receptors improve analgesia and diminish tolerance but worsen opioid side effects

Nature Communications, 2019
Tolerance and other side effects are important limitations to the use of opioids as analgesics. In this study, the authors generated mice lacking phosphorylation sites on the µ-opioid receptor to assess their contribution to the analgesic, tolerance and ...

Temporal Trends in and Associations With Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drug Prescription in Adult and Pediatric Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Recent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment guidelines have recommended against nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) use despite prevalent musculoskeletal symptoms and opioid overuse in this population. Given the discordance between changing national guidelines and potential clinical utility, we sought to assess national temporal
