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.

Serratus plane block: a novel ultrasound‐guided thoracic wall nerve block

TL;DR: The potential for the serratus plane block to provide analgesia following surgery on the thoracic wall is highlighted, and this novel approach appears to be safe, effective, and easy to perform, and is associated with a low risk of side‐effects.

Descending pain modulation and chronification of pain.

TL;DR: Preclinical studies coupled with clinical pharmacologic and neuroimaging investigations have advanced the understanding of brain circuits that modulate pain and suggest that diminished descending inhibition is likely to be an important element in determining whether pain may become chronic.
