The role of skin assessment in older people.

30 Aug 2009 Understanding what to look for, what is normal and what needs to be referred to a specialist, gives community nurses confidence in assessing older skin. Skin health checks should become a normal part of health surveillance in primary care. This ... Read more...

Analgesic efficacy of peripheral kappa-opioid receptor agonist CR665 compared to oxycodone in a multi-modal, multi-tissue experimental human pain model: selective effect on visceral pain.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Peripherally selective opioids may be beneficial in visceral pain management due to absence of centrally mediated side effects. The objectives of this study were: (1) to assess the effects of a peripherally selective tetrapeptide ... Read more...

Contact-free infrared thermography for assessing effects during acupuncture: a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Although evidence of its effects is tentative, acupuncture has long been used in the treatment of multiple maladies. So far, it has not been possible to discriminate the effects of the venue from specific results of needling itself, thus ... Read more...
