Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners01:20

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners

160
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

422
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

677
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids01:15

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

204
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Opioid Receptors: Overview01:22

Opioid Receptors: Overview

422
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2,...

Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

422
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Accurate opioid use disorder (OUD) detection is vital. Machine learning, using PULSNAR, revealed OUD prevalence is 5.08%, far higher than the 1.35% diagnosed, highlighting significant underdiagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Machine Learning
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Accurate estimation of behavioral health conditions like opioid use disorder (OUD) is critical for public health.
    • Underdiagnosis and undercoding in health records hinder true prevalence estimation and identification of at-risk individuals.
    • Machine learning (ML) offers potential for OUD prediction but faces bias from undiagnosed cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the true population prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) using a novel machine learning approach.
    • To address the challenge of underdiagnosis and undercoding in electronic health records.
    • To identify at-risk patients who may be missed by traditional diagnostic methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Positive Unlabeled Learning Selected Not At Random (PULSNAR), a Positive and Unlabeled (PU) learning technique.
    • Applied PULSNAR to a large dataset of 3,342,044 commercially insured US patients with at least one opioid prescription.
    • Estimated the probability of OUD for individual patients and the overall population prevalence within a 2-5 year observation period.

    Main Results:

    • PULSNAR estimated a cumulative OUD prevalence of 5.08% in the study population.
    • This contrasts with the 1.35% of patients with a recorded OUD diagnosis, indicating substantial underdiagnosis (73.5% of cases).
    • The estimated prevalence aligns with findings from other epidemiological studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The PULSNAR method provides a more accurate estimation of OUD prevalence by accounting for undiagnosed cases.
    • Findings underscore the significant gap between actual and diagnosed OUD, emphasizing the need for improved detection and coding.
    • This approach can enhance the identification of individuals needing treatment and improve public health surveillance for OUD.
