Poorly controlled postoperative pain: prevalence, consequences, and prevention

TL;DR: Several new opioids have been developed that modulate μ-receptor activity by selectively engaging intracellular pathways associated with analgesia and not those associated with adverse events, creating a wider therapeutic window than unselective conventional opioids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Symptoms of Osteoarthritis and the Genesis of Pain

TL;DR: The characteristic symptoms and signs associated with OA and how they can be used to make the clinical diagnosis are delineated and factors that contribute to its severity are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Transition of Acute Postoperative Pain to Chronic Pain: An Integrative Overview of Research on Mechanisms

TL;DR: A need for a concerted, strategic effort toward integrating clinical epidemiology, basic science research, and current theory about pain mechanisms to hasten progress toward understanding, managing, and preventing persistent postsurgical pain is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep Pain: Exploiting Long Short-Term Memory Networks for Facial Expression Classification

TL;DR: It is suggested that the performance of pain assessment can be enhanced by feeding the raw frames to deep learning models, outperforming the latest state-of-the-art results while also directly facing the problem of imbalanced data.

Postoperative pain experience: results from a national survey suggest postoperative pain continues to be undermanaged.

TL;DR: Despite an increased focus on pain management programs and the development of new standards for pain management, many patients continue to experience intense pain after surgery and additional efforts are required to improve patients’ postoperative pain experience.

Chronic pain as an outcome of surgery. A review of predictive factors.

TL;DR: Five groups of surgeries were selected because the incidence of pain is known to be high, thus improving the probability of detecting predictive factors and the natural history of patients with and without persistent pain after surgery provides an opportunity to improve the understanding of the physiology and psychology of chronic pain.

Pain: Moving from Symptom Control toward Mechanism-Specific Pharmacologic Management

TL;DR: The neurobiological mechanisms responsible for these different pains are beginning to be defined, providing insight into how distinct types of pain are generated by diverse etiologic factors, and in which patients can now realistically expect to move from an empirical therapeutic approach to one that is targeted specifically at the particular mechanisms of the type of pain experienced by an individual patient.

The comparative effects of postoperative analgesic therapies on pulmonary outcome : Cumulative meta-analyses of randomized, controlled trials

TL;DR: Meta-analyses of randomized, control trials confirm that postoperative epidural pain control can significantly decrease the incidence of pulmonary morbidity and support the utility of epidural analgesia for reducing postoperativemonary morbidity but do not support the use of surrogate measures of pulmonary outcome as predictors or determinants of pulmonary mortality in postoperative patients.
