Opioid suppression of conditioned anticipatory brain responses to breathlessness [PDF]
© 2017 The Authors Opioid painkillers are a promising treatment for chronic breathlessness, but are associated with potentially fatal side effects. In the treatment of breathlessness, their mechanisms of action are unclear.

Pain detection with bioimpedance methodology from 3-dimensional exploration of nociception in a postoperative observational trial [PDF]
Although the measurement of dielectric properties of the skin is a long-known tool for assessing the changes caused by nociception, the frequency modulated response has not been considered yet.

Fractional order impedance models as rising tools for quantification of unconscious analgesia [PDF]
This research focuses on modeling the diffusion process that occurs in the human body when an analgesic drug is taken up, by using fractional-order impedance models (FOIMs).

Background Opioid analgesics are commonly used along with propofol during general anesthesia. Due to the dearth of data on the quality of anesthesia achieved with this combination, the present meta-analysis was carried out.

Relationship between intraoperative requirement for anesthetics and postoperative analgesic consumption in laparoscopic colectomy: a randomized controlled double-blinded study [PDF]
Background This study investigated the relationship between intraoperative requirement for an inhalational anesthetic (sevoflurane) or an opioid (remifentanil) and postoperative analgesic consumption.

EC and EC of remifentanil to prevent rocuronium-induced withdrawal movements in children [PDF]
BackgroundIntravenous administration of rocuronium induces intense pain in most patients (60-100%). This could be harmful during anesthesia induction because of the unintended reflex movement of an unconscious patient in response to the pain.

Comparison of effect-site concentration of remifentanil for tracheal intubation with the lightwand and laryngoscopy during propofol target-controlled infusion [PDF]
BackgroundTarget-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil can provide satisfactory intubating conditions without a neuromuscular blocking agent.
