[MODERN VIEWS ON THE PHARMACOGENETICS OF PAIN.]
Abstract:
Quality anesthesia during surgery and in the postoperative period remains a topical problem of modern anesthesiology. The study of genetic characteristics of a patient is a goal that may be allow us to develop a personalized approach to solve this problem. The purpose of the review is a synthesis of literature data about the influence of genetic factors on pain perception and its treatment. The review included information obtained from SCOPUS, MedLine, EMBASE. The search keywords were: pain, pharmacogenetics, polymorphism, analgesics.Describe the effect ofgene polymorphisms of OPRM, 5HTRIA, 5HTR2A, COMT GCHI, SCN9A, KCNSI, CACNA2D3, CACNG2, PTGSI, PTGS2, MDRJ/ABCB] on the perception of pain, and CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP3A4 on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medi- cations used in the treatment of pain.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
