fentanyl

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Fentanyl patch should be used only for ongoing pain that requires strong narcotic pain medications at all times for an extended period and for pain that cannot be relieved by quick-acting narcotics (for use as needed) or non-narcotic pain relievers. [1]

Fentanyl crosses the placenta and has been used safely during labor. [2]

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid. [...] Transdermal patches are used in the management of chronic pain in patients who require continuous opioid analgesia for pain. [3]

Fentanyl acts upon specific receptors in your brain and spinal cord to decrease the feeling of pain and to reduce your emotional response to pain. [4]

This medication should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. [5]

Patches have also been frozen, cut into pieces and placed under the tongue or in the cheek cavity for drug absorption through the oral mucosa. [3]

Once the patch is applied, the medicine is slowly absorbed through your skin into the bloodstream to help control your pain. [6]

It should only be used for patients who have been using moderate-to-large amounts of a powerful narcotic medication (e.g., morphine) regularly. [1]

This medication is not for treating pain that is not cancer-related, such as general headaches or back pain. [5]

Patients are considered opioid-tolerant if they are taking at least 60 mg morphine/day, 30 mg oral oxycodone/day, 8 mg oral hydromorphone/day, 50 mcg transdermal fentanyl/hour, or an equivalent dose of another opioid for 1 week. [2]

A narcotic analgesic used in combination with other drugs before, during, or following surgery and also for chronic pain management. [6]

Use of this medication by someone who is not regularly taking narcotic pain relievers can cause serious (possibly fatal) breathing problems (e.g., very slow and shallow breathing). [1]

Fentanyl can cause your body to expect this medicine daily (drug dependency) if it is used for longer than a week or so. [4]

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Fentanyl is a potent synthetic (man-made) narcotic. [7]

ehlers danlos syndrome

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of disorders that affect connective tissues, which are tissues that support the skin, bones, blood vessels, and other organs. [1]

Today we know that many of these people had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a connective tissue disorder, and that entertaining others by performing joint contortions injured the joints and worsened their condition. [2]

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) refer to a group of inherited disorders that affect collagen structure and function. [3]

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that weaken connective tissues. [4]

Collagen is a strong, fibrous protein that lends strength and elasticity to connective tissues such as the skin, tendons, organ walls, cartilage, and blood vessels. [3]

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) (also known as “Cutis hyperelastica”) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders, caused by a defect in the synthesis of collagen (a protein in connective tissue). [5]

Connective tissues are proteins that support skin, bones, blood vessels and other organs. [4]

An unusually large range of joint movement (hypermobility) occurs with most forms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, particularly the hypermobility type. [1]

There is no known cure for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. [3]

In each case, however, the symptoms are ultimately due to faulty or reduced amounts of Type III collagen. [5]

The major symptoms involved in EDS classical type are the skin and joints. [3]

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of disorders, including six major types classified according to their specific symptoms. [...] Which specific additional symptoms an individual with EDS has, such as joint pain, skin scarring, hernias, or easy bruising, depends on which type of EDS is present. [2]

In 1997, researchers proposed a simpler classification that reduced the number of major types to six and gave them descriptive names: the arthrochalasia type, the classic type, the dermatosparaxis type, the hypermobility type, the kyphoscoliosis type, and the vascular type. [...] Autosomal dominant inheritance means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. [1]

Yet online retailers still are hoping for double-digit growth despite economic troubles nationwide. [3]
