Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Dopamine D3 Receptor Antagonism Reverses the Escalation of Oxycodone Self-administration and Decreases Withdrawal-Induced Hyperalgesia and Irritability-Like Behavior in Oxycodone-Dependent Heterogeneous Stock Rats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Prescription opioids, such as oxycodone, are highly effective analgesics for clinical pain management, but approximately 25% of patients who are prescribed opioids misuse them, and 5%-10% develop an opioid use disorder (OUD).

Optimizing Peripheral Nerve Block Placement in Hip Surgery: A Cadaveric Study Mapping the Posterior Cutaneous Innervation

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimizing analgesia after hip surgery enables more rapid recovery. However, peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) often fail to provide adequate pain relief in the posterolateral hip as they typically target the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT).

Central Injection of Endomorphin-2, but not Endomorphin-1, Increases Food Intake in Chicks via μ1-opioid Receptors

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
The endogenous tetrapeptides endomorphin-1 and -2 are potent, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of endomorphins enhances feeding behavior in chicks, and to investigate ...

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Loperamide Inhibits Tachykinin NK3-Receptor-Triggered Serotonin Release Without Affecting NK2-Receptor-Triggered Serotonin Release From Guinea Pig Colonic Mucosa

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The effect of loperamide on tachykinin NK2- and NK3-receptor-mediated 5-HT outflow from guinea pig colonic mucosa was investigated in vitro. The selective tachykinin NK2-receptor agonist [β-Ala8]-neurokinin A4–10 (βAla-NKA) or the selective NK3-receptor ...

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.
