It notes that pain management may involve pharmacological approaches like opioids, non-pharmacological approaches like physical therapy, and interventional procedures like spinal cord stimulators. The WHO analgesic ladder is also summarized, which recommends treating mild pain with non-opioids, moderate pain with mild opioids, and severe pain with strong opioids by the clock and by mouth until the patient is pain-free.
Nausea and vomiting
most important areas involved peripherally are the gastric mucosa and smooth muscle (the enteric brain) and the afferent pathways of the vagus and sympathetic nerves.
Centrally the significant areas involved are the area postrema, the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), the nucleus tractus solitarus (NTS) and the vomiting centre.
From a pharmacotherapeutic point of view, the most important aspect of this complex pathophysiology is the variety of receptors involved, including histaminergic (H1), cholinergic (muscarinic M1), dopaminergic (D2), serotonergic (5HT3) and neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors. In the clinical situation, these become targets for various drugs directed at controlling the symptoms.

Acute Pain Management Presentation 2013.ppt
This document discusses acute pain management, with a focus on using a multimodal approach to minimize side effects from analgesics like opioids. It describes assessing and treating acute pain through systemic analgesics, neuraxial techniques like epidurals, and managing side effects and special populations. The goal is providing adequate pain relief while allowing patients to actively participate in recovery.
Opioid analgesics & antogonists
Opioid analgesic agents work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to inhibit pain signal transmission and provide relief from moderate to severe pain. They work by closing the "gate" in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord that regulates pain impulse transmission to the brain. Common opioid analgesics include morphine, codeine, and oxycodone. While effective for pain, they can cause side effects like nausea, constipation, and respiratory depression and require careful monitoring by nurses.
04 Cholinergic Blockers Upd
Cholinergic agents stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system by mimicking acetylcholine, while cholinergic blocking agents inhibit acetylcholine in the parasympathetic nervous system. Cholinergic agents are used for conditions like glaucoma and myasthenia gravis, while blocking agents treat asthma, ulcers, and overactive bladder. Both can cause side effects related to parasympathetic overstimulation or inhibition such as changes in heart rate, urination, sweating, and breathing. Patients should be monitored for therapeutic and side effects and medications should be taken as prescribed.

It also covers the classification of different types of pain, the gate control theory of pain, opioid tolerance and dependence, side effects of opioids, and nursing considerations for opioid administration and monitoring.
Analgesics drug word file
Analgesics are drugs that relieve pain by acting in the central nervous system or on peripheral pain mechanisms without altering consciousness. There are several types of pain including nociceptive pain caused by tissue damage activating pain receptors, neuropathic pain caused by nerve damage, and idiopathic pain of unknown origin. Analgesics can be classified based on their mechanism of action, source, and receptor activity. Opioids like morphine are potent narcotic analgesics that act centrally while nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin reduce inflammation and pain peripherally by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Autonomic Nervous System Agents
The document summarizes the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic system uses norepinephrine as a neurotransmitter and activates the "fight or flight" response. The parasympathetic system uses acetylcholine and activates the "rest and digest" response. Cholinergic drugs stimulate the parasympathetic system while anticholinergic drugs block parasympathetic effects.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Medical Quiz ( Online Quiz for API Meet 2024 ).pdf

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
