The long and winding road of non steroidal antinflammatory drugs and paracetamol in cancer pain management: A critical review
2013
The aim of this review was to assess the value of NSAIDs and paracetamol in patients with cancer pain to update a previous review performed ten years ago on this topic. The approach was analytic and based on clinical considerations, rather than on raw evidence, which often does not provide useful information in clinical practice. Both published reports from an extensive search of electronic data bases were collected from January 2001 to December 2011. A free-text search method was used including the following words and their combination: “Anti-inflammatory drugs OR paracetamol OR acetaminophen” AND/OR “cancer pain”. Any randomized-controlled trial was considered. Thirteen reports fulfitted …
NMDA receptor antagonists and pain relief: A meta-analysis of experimental trials
2019
ObjectiveWe conducted a meta-analysis of controlled trials that used experimental models of acute pain and hyperalgesia to examine the analgesic effects of NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonists.MethodsSix major databases were systematically searched (to March 2018) for studies using human evoked pain models to compare NMDAR antagonists with no-intervention controls. Pain outcome data were analyzed with random-effects meta-analysis.ResultsSearches identified 70 eligible trials (n = 1,069). Meta-analysis found that low-dose ketamine (<1 mg/kg) produced a decrease in hyperalgesic area (standardized mean difference 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34, 0.74, p < 0.001) and a 1.2-point decr…
Estudio comparativo de la combinación de diferentes modos de administración de anestésicos locales en la analgesia del parto
2020
La analgesia epidural es una de las técnicas más demandadas y por ello dicha analgesia ha ido evolucionando en los últimos años. Recientemente se ha desarrollado el modo PIEB (Programmed Intermittent Epidural Boluses) que puede reducir el consumo de anestésico local y así minimizar consecuencias indeseables tales como la cardio o la neurotoxicidad. En el año 2012 la compañía Smiths Medical lanzó al mercado un sistema de infusión ambulatoria CADD®-Solis versión software 3.0 de la generación de bombas de infusión CADD® que permite combinar varios modos de administración del anestésico local en el espacio epidural, hasta ahora no utilizados juntos ya que no existía en el mercado una bomba con …
The barriers dentists face to communicate cancer diagnosis:self-assessment based on SPIKES protocol
2022
This study aimed to characterize the barriers faced by Brazilian dentists to deliver bad news (DBN) about oral and oropharyngeal cancer diagnoses to patients by using a questionnaire based on the guidelines of the SPIKES protocol. This was an observational cross-sectional study. The questionnaire contained 27 questions based on the SPIKES protocol, which were answered in the SurveyMonkey platform. A total of 186/249 dentists answered the questionnaire. The main specialties reported were 36.02% oral medicine, 21.5% oral pathology, and 9.13% oral and maxillofacial surgery. A total of 44.6% expressed concern about the patient?s emotional reactions, and 46.24% of respondents had never participa…
