- Manejo del dolor Manejo del dolor.
Sus antecedentes:
- El cáncer metastásico, particularmente el sarcoma, con frecuencia se presenta con un dolor esquelético significativo.
- El manejo efectivo del dolor es crucial para mantener la calidad de vida en pacientes con cáncer avanzado.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para presentar un estudio de caso sobre el manejo del dolor severo en un joven con sarcoma metastásico.
- Demostrar la eficacia de un enfoque centrado en el paciente, multidisciplinario y ahorrador de opioides para el manejo del dolor.
Principales métodos:
- Un equipo multidisciplinario colaboró para controlar el dolor en un joven paciente varón con sarcoma recurrente y metástasis óseas.
- Se emplearon técnicas intervencionistas de manejo del dolor y farmacoterapias no opioides.
Principales resultados:

01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
1.1K
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...

01:30Spare Receptors
4.6K
Some receptors remain unoccupied even when an agonist produces a maximal response. Such empty ones are called spare receptors. In presence of spare receptors the maximum effect of an agonist drug is achieved with fewer than 100% of the receptors being occupied. To determine the presence of spare receptors, scientists often compare the concentration of the drug needed to produce 50% of the maximum effect (EC50) with the concentration of the drug needed to occupy 50% of the receptors (Kd). If the...

01:22Opioid Receptors: Overview
4.6K
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,...

01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
1.1K
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...

Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

01:17Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Opioids as Antidiarrheal Agents
700
Diarrhea, a condition marked by frequent loose or watery bowel movements, can be triggered by multiple factors such as viral or bacterial infections, food intolerances, anxiety, medications, and digestive disorders. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and cramping. Severe or prolonged diarrhea can lead to complications like electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, and dehydration if left untreated.
