Increase in fatal opioid overdoses after hospital discharge

Added: 05.11.2021 21:21 | 181 views | 0 comments

The period after hospital discharge is a high-risk time for people who use illicit opioids such as heroin, according to new research. Fatal opioid overdoses are four times more likely in the first two days after hospital discharge than at other times, and people who use illicit drugs need extra support when being discharged from hospital.

'Think twice' campaign could reduce risk of UK opioid epidemic. A pilot campaign that urged GPs (family doctors) to 'think-twice' before putting a patient on opioid medicines was effective in reducing opioid prescribing in primary care, according to the findings of a major study. Although the reduction in the number of opioid prescriptions issued by individual GPs was small, when aggregated together they had a large effect.

Relieving pain by mapping its biological signatures

Added: 05.11.2021 21:21 | 163 views | 0 comments

Many people are confronted with chronic pain that can last for months or even years. How to best treat chronic pain? First, pain must be categorized for the right treatment to be prescribed. However, is that it is very challenging for patients to define their pain, its intensity or even its location using questionnaires. To overcome this difficulty, scientists have carried out a complete epigenomic analysis of patients, making it possible to find the epigenetic signatures specific to each pain category.

Virtual care with remote monitoring catches drug errors and reduces patient pain

Added: 05.11.2021 21:21 | 162 views | 0 comments

The study looked at patient outcomes from virtual care and remote automated monitoring (RAM) -- video calls with nurses and doctors, and self-monitoring of vital signs using wearable devices. Half of 905 post-surgery patients at nine sites in Hamilton, Kingston, London, Ottawa and Edmonton in Canada were randomized to use technology at home -- a cellular tablet and RAM equipment to measure their heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, respiration rate, body temperature and weight -- for 30 days after they left the hospital.

Benefits of early intervention in autoimmune diseases

Added: 05.11.2021 21:21 | 169 views | 0 comments

Complex autoimmune diseases affecting various organ systems remain one of the greatest medical challenges in spite of immense advances in treatment. In particular, the diffuse symptoms at the early stage of complex autoimmune diseases make it hard to diagnose the condition early on, which in turn delays treatment. A team of researchers has now demonstrated that treatment can be extremely effective if autoimmune diseases are treated as early as possible, even before the first clinical symptoms appear.
