An analysis of renal dysfunction in 1511 patients with fractured neck of femur: the implications for peri-operative analgesia.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: Following two deaths from respiratory failure secondary to opioid toxicity in patients admitted for surgical repair of fractured neck of femur, we retrospectively studied the serum urea and electrolyte concentrations of 1511 consecutive ... Read more...

Visually induced analgesia: seeing the body reduces pain.

28 Sep 2009 Given previous reports of strong interactions between vision and somatic senses, we investigated whether vision of the body modulates pain perception. Participants looked into a mirror aligned with their body midline at either the reflection of ... Read more...

[Comparison of intravenous fentanyl analgesia and epidural analgesia for postoperative pain relief]

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Epidural analgesia is available for postoperative pain relief except for the patients with bleeding tendency or under anticoagulation. Intravenous fentanyl analgesia can be applied for such patients but its effect has not been evaluated ... Read more...
