Prescription analgesic overuse in older adults: Can we mitigate this growing problem?
With older adults already on numerous prescription medications to manage their chronic conditions, the addition of pain medications could impose an even greater burden due to dependency issues. We need to understand the use of chronic pain medication, especially opioids, discuss current strategies and gaps, and offer potential solutions to mitigate ...

Based on a simplified version of the morphinan scaffold, 3‐[3‐(phenalkylamino)cyclohexyl]phenol analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their µ‐opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist activity in vitro and in silico. Docking studies indicate a peculiar combination of C‐1 stereochemistry and N‐substitutions as feasibly essential for MOR‐ligand ...

Dose of intra‐operative opioids has no impact on recurrence or survival in primary liver cancer
Kaplan‐meier curves for recurrence‐free and overall survial of high‐dose and low‐dose groups. No significant difference in recurrence‐free survial (A) or overall survial (B) after surgery was noted when comparing high‐dose with low‐dose groups. Abstract Background Intra‐operative use of opioid analgesics might have an impact on cancer recurrence and ...

Bone construction surgery: A case report using recombinant human platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB
Abstract Background The position and condition of bone largely sets the stage for functional and esthetic implant success. In bone construction surgery, creating a sustainable functional matrix is complex, but necessary, to enable long‐term mechanotransduction and maintenance of soft tissue support.

Prompt Engineering for Transformer-based Chemical Similarity Search Identifies Structurally Distinct Functional Analogues [PDF]
Chemical similarity searches are widely used in-silico methods for identifying new drug-like molecules. These methods have historically relied on structure-based comparisons to compute molecular similarity. Here, we use a chemical language model to create a vector-based chemical search.
