Long‐Term Opioids in Gout: A Matched Cohort Study From the Veterans Health Administration

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Though used frequently to treat flare, risk of long‐term opioid exposure in gout has not been well defined. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that people with gout are more likely than individuals without gout to be prescribed long‐term opioids over time.

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Will peripherally restricted kappa‐opioid receptor agonists (pKORAs) relieve pain with less opioid adverse effects and abuse potential?

Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 2016
Optimal utilization of opioid analgesics is significantly limited by the central nervous system adverse effects and misuse/abuse potential of currently available drugs.

Physician Referral Patterns to Physical Therapists for Managing Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records from an Integrated Health System

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives This study aims to describe the frequency and timing of physician referrals to physical therapists (PT) and other treatments prescribed over 12 months in patients with recent onset of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study also aims to identify determinants of early PT referrals.

Glycine Transporter 1 Inhibitors: Predictions on Their Possible Mechanisms in the Development of Opioid Analgesic Tolerance

Biomedicines
The development of opioid tolerance in patients on long-term opioid analgesic treatment is an unsolved matter in clinical practice thus far. Dose escalation is required to restore analgesic efficacy, but at the price of side effects.

Heteromerization of μ-opioid receptor and cholecystokinin B receptor through the third transmembrane domain of the μ-opioid receptor contributes to the anti-opioid effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2018
Pain medicine: Boosting the potency of opioid analgesics A hormone known to weaken the pain-relieving effects of opioid drugs does so because of interaction between the hormone receptor and the opioid receptor.

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

Journal 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 ...

Temporal trends in and associations with nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug prescription in adult and pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Recent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment guidelines have recommended against 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 trends in prescription NSAID and ...

Peripheral Opioid Receptors

Annals of Medicine, 1995
Recent experimental and clinical research has demonstrated that opioids can produce potent and receptor-specific analgesic effects outside the central nervous system. Opioid receptors are localized on peripheral terminals of sensory nerves and their endogenous ligands, opioid peptides, have been discovered in immune cells within inflamed tissue.

Assessment of Pain Types in Recently Diagnosed Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Up to 40% of patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) experience persistent pain, traditionally thought to be associated with a shift from peripherally to centrally mediated pain during the disease course in some patients. We assessed sensory profiles of recently diagnosed individuals with IA, hypothesizing that pain reported at this early ...
