The effect of nitrous oxide in comparison to oxygen combined with fentanyl on the hospitalization time and pain reduction in renal colic patients at emergency department

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2018
Background: Renal colic is a painful medical emergency, needs urgent intervention to reduce pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and entonox are pain-relieving agents. This study was aimed to compare fentanyl + entonox (nitrous oxide + O2)

Investigation of the In Vitro and In Vivo Metabolism and μ‐Opioid Receptor Affinity of the Nitazene N‐Pyrrolidino Fluetonitazene

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Eight metabolites for N‐pyrrolidino fluetonitazene were identified in vitro, three of which (M2, M6 and M8) were present in an authentic urine sample. M2 was the most abundant in vivo metabolite and is a common marker metabolite of nitazepyne‐type substances.

Exploring Cerumen as an Alternative Matrix for Drug Detection and Quantification: Method Development and Application in Clinical Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
An LC–MS/MS method was developed for the detection of 33 psychoactive medications in cerumen (earwax) and applied to the samples of 60 psychiatric inpatient volunteers. The findings highlighted the utility of cerumen as an innovative biospecimen in clinical toxicological analysis.

Research progress on the depth of anesthesia monitoring based on the electroencephalogram

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 32-43, Spring 2025.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) can noninvasive, continuous, and real‐time monitor the state of brain electrical activity, and the monitoring of EEG can reflect changes in the depth of anesthesia (DOA). The development of artificial intelligence can enable anesthesiologists to extract, analyze, and quantify DOA from complex EEG data.

Evaluating fentanyl test strips as a harm reduction strategy in rural and urban counties: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials
Background Opioid-related fatalities are a leading cause of death in Ohio and nationally, with an increasing number of overdoses attributable to fentanyl. Rapid fentanyl test strips can identify fentanyl and some fentanyl analogs in urine samples and are

Things We Do for No Reason™: Withholding opioids among patients with acute pain and opioid use disorder

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hospitalists care for patients with acute pain who have an opioid use disorder and require pain management. Hospitalists may withhold opioids for acute pain due to a variety of reasons. However, adequate pain management in patients with opioid use disorder, including with opioids, is the standard of care. This piece explains how to best manage

Postoperative Effects of Celecoxib on Opioid Use and Pain Control After Benign Oropharyngeal Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated how the addition of celecoxib to a multimodal pain regimen following tonsillectomy + adenoidectomy, or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) + tonsillectomy affects postoperative opioid use and pain control. Patients who received celecoxib consumed significantly fewer opioids compared to the historic control group, with similar ...
