Joint Distribution and Transitions of Pain and Activity in Critically Ill Patients [PDF]
Pain and physical function are both essential indices of recovery in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Units (ICU). Simultaneous monitoring of pain intensity and patient activity can be important for determining which analgesic interventions can optimize mobility and function, while minimizing opioid harm. Nonetheless, so far, our knowledge

Can a microscopic stochastic model explain the emergence of pain cycles in patients? [PDF]
A stochastic model is here introduced to investigate the molecular mechanisms which trigger the perception of pain. The action of analgesic drug compounds is discussed in a dynamical context, where the competition with inactive species is explicitly accounted for.

Binding Pathway of Opiates to $μ$ Opioid Receptors Revealed by Unsupervised Machine Learning [PDF]
Many important analgesics relieve pain by binding to the $\mu$-Opioid Receptor ($\mu$OR), which makes the $\mu$OR among the most clinically relevant proteins of the G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) family. Despite previous studies on the activation pathways of the GPCRs, the mechanism of opiate binding and the selectivity of $\mu$OR are largely ...

Pain treatment involves the usage of common and opioid analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and adjuvant analgesics. Traditionally, these drugs are administered systemically or into the neuraxis. However, when analgesics are applied through these pathways, they are associated with significant side effects, which can hinder its use.
