INTRODUCTION: In this study, we investigated the dose requirements, pain relief, and side effects of oxycodone versus morphine after surgery with visceral pain. METHODS: Ninety-one women received IV oxycodone or morphine before the end of ... Read more...
14 Sep 2009 The wake-promoting basal forebrain (BF) is critically involved in sustaining cortical arousal. In the present study, we investigated how aging affects the capacity of the BF to cope with continuous activation during prolonged waking. Increased ... Read more...
8 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Sleep problems are a frequent cause for contacting primary care services. Knowledge of basic mechanisms behind sleep and wakefulness is essential for giving adequate information and correct patients' frequent misperception of sleep. ... Read more...
