Neurosteroids: endogenous analgesics?
Peripheral sensitisation and central sensitisation are implicated in the development of neuropathic pain with neuroplasticity occurring at multiple levels of the pain pathway. Hypersensitivity of the spinothalamic tract has been described in neuropathic animal models of diabetes. Spinal dorsal horn …

Molecular Modeling And Synthesis For New Opioid Analgesics generations [Modellazione molecolare e sintesi per nuove generazioni di analgesici oppioidi]
Questa tesi di dottorato è incentrata sulla progettazione, la sintesi e la valutazione di nuovi agonisti selettivi per il recettore mu-opioide (MOR) che puntano a un sito di legame ortosterico alternativo. A differenza dei derivati convenzionali della morfina e dei composti a base di benzomorfano, …

Narcotic Utilization for Pain Patients Housed in Private and Semi-Private Rooms.
… examined: (1) the utilization of narcotic analgesics by 40 back pain patients housed in private rooms and 40 patients housed in semi-private rooms ; and (2) the activity patterns of 10 orthopedic/pain patients housed in private rooms and 10 patients in semi-private rooms. It was postulated …

A study of the effect of Si:Al Ratio and ion-exchange on the ability of the zeolite ZSM-5 to adsorb common analgesics from waste water
… zeolite ZSM-5’s effectiveness at removing the analgesics paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen lysine from aqueous solution was investigated. ZSM-5’s Si:Al ratio and charge balancing cation were also altered to ascertain the effects these attributes had on its ability to remove the analgesics from …

"I really dislike taking painkillers; I would rather weather the storm": using interpretative phenomenological analysis to make sense of patients' use of analgesics following day case surgery.
… suggested that patients may not utilising their analgesics appropriately with papers calling for further research in this area. Employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) this study explored patients' use of analgesics on returning home following day surgery. Using IPA for analysis, …

Synthesis and Evaluation of Dual-Acting Ligands for Mu Opioid And Neuropeptide FF Receptors
… the most frequently prescribed class of analgesics for moderate to severe acute and sometime chronic pain are opioid analgesics, most commonly ?-opioid receptor (MOP) agonists, such as oxycodone, morphine, and fentanyl. Although these drugs provide significant pain relief, they are also …

Effect of Short-Term Postoperative Celecoxib Administration on Patient Outcome After Outpatient Laparoscopic Surgery
Purpose: Non-opioid analgesics are increasingly used as part of a multimodal regimen for pain management. This prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the effect of short-term postoperative administration of celecoxib on pain management and …

Acupressure and its use for dysmenorrhea
… group used the acupressure technique initially. Analgesics were taken only if a satisfactory level of comfort was not achieved. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the monthly averages of pre-treatment and post-treatment pain scores of the subjects in both groups. Treatment …

Heritability of Nociception and Antinociception in the Laboratory Mouse
… characterized, but far less is known about other analgesics. In a systematic study of variable antinociceptive sensitivity to morphine and four non-mu-opioid analgesics in mice, we unexpectedly observed moderate-to-high genetic correlations of strain sensitivities to the five drugs, as well as …

NTS2-selective analogs as an alternative treatment to chronic pain
… cost to the economy and healthcare systems. Mild analgesics such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen or antidepressant drugs often have limited efficacy for moderate to severe pain. On the other hand, opioids remain among the strongest analgesics available, despite the serious …

Surgical castration in piglets: its impacts on pain and affective states
… A hinderance to this is that currently no analgesics are approved for piglets. In addition, we need validated, practical methods to recognize pain in piglets in order to help researchers, veterinarians, and caretakers to identify the need for analgesics. One useful tool for this could be …
