Morphine and codeine (a monomethyl ether of morphine) are opioid analgesics obtained from unripe seed pods of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum (figure 19.18), and have been known for centuries.

My mom was an alcoholic. Alcohol wasn't the problem, but it was the solution. She could drink a Liter of vodka in 24 hours with minimal effect...

Alcohol was self-medication.

My mom didn't drink for about a year before her death (Boundary: no alcohol in my house) and the only difference was the speed of her mood swings. She was just as violent, just as cruel, just as manipulative...

Alcohol was self-medication.

About 6 weeks before her hospitalization, I provided her hard seltzer water w/ electrolytes- because she needed electrolytes- and it improved her behavior, and her mood...

Alcohol was self-medication.

Researchers develop light-activated carbamazepine derivatives for targeted neuropathic pain treatment

- By Nuadox Crew -

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have developed light-activated derivatives of carbamazepine, an anti-epileptic drug, to treat neuropathic pain using photopharmacology.

By incorporating a light-sensitive switch, the drug can be activated by specific light wavelengths, allowing for targeted treatment. These derivatives, carbazopine-1 and carbadiazocine, are activated by amber light, enabling local and reversible control of nerve signals. 

In experiments with zebrafish larvae, the drugs controlled movement in response to light. Carbadiazocine showed analgesic effects in rat models without causing anesthesia or toxicity. 

This light-based therapy offers a promising alternative to opioids, potentially reducing side effects and increasing treatment precision. 

The team is now working on activating drugs with infrared light for deeper tissue penetration, funded by the European Innovation Council's PHOTOTHERAPORT project.

🎯 Understanding Tapentadol's Pain Relief Power

Tapentadol, a potent opioid analgesic, uniquely blends μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonism and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition (NRI) in one formula. Its dual action kicks in within just 30 minutes, swiftly combating acute and chronic pain.

🔍 Dive into Tapentadol's Mechanism:

Tapentadol's dual action binds to opioid receptors, slashing pain sensation, while also tweaking norepinephrine levels to ease stress and uplift mood.

💊 Pharmacokinetics & Dynamics:

Tapentadol swiftly absorbs post-administration, achieving steady plasma levels in 25-30 hours. Metabolized in the liver, it's mainly excreted via urine, with a half-life of 3.93 hours (immediate-release) to 4.4-5.9 hours (extended-release).

⏰ Say Goodbye to Pain:

It takes about 20-24 hours to flush out Tapentadol IR and 1.5 days for ER, ensuring efficient pain management.

🔄 Synergistic Action Unveiled:

Studies show Tapentadol's pain-relieving prowess, with both MOR agonism and NRI working hand in hand, as synergistic allies.

💡 Clinical Benefits:

FDA-approved for acute and chronic pain, Tapentadol boasts high tolerability and a safer profile than traditional opioids, with fewer GI side effects.

another medical rant. brace yourselves:

Hospitals utilize all sorts of different drugs for anaesthesia and analgesia (pain relief) depending on the patient and the type of procedure etc.

For amputation surgeries, a patient is typically given general or spinal anaesthesia (general keeps you asleep, spinal keeps you numb from the waist/ limb down).

After the operation, the patient is prescribed medication to manage the pain and inflammation. There are many types of drugs that can be used, including but not limited to:

Opioids - Morphine and Fentanyl

Anaesthetics - Lidocaine

NSAIDs - Ibuprofen and Aspirin

Others - Ketamine and Acetaminophen (Paracetamol)

Antibiotics are also prescribed to prevent infections. Medical operations have extremely strict regulations and protocols regarding hygiene and sanitation.

This child (and hundreds more) had nothing. she was operated on without anaesthesia, general or otherwise, probably had no access to clean water and fresh food, most definately didnt have access to the medication she needed (pain meds and prophylactic antibiotics).

The doctors operating probably did so without electricity, appropriate medical equipment, on top of being extremely understaffed and overworked, and under the constant threat of being buried alongside their patients under the rubble.

mama used to give me (strawberry) calpol for a sore throat or something.

Calpol (Paracetamol 120mg) is used to relieve mild-to-moderate pain and fever. pretty sure an amputation is slightly above moderate.

what about the phantom pain? the psychological damage? the unliveable conditions in the entirety of Gaza?

why are the living treated like or less than the dead? doesn't every international law and legislation under the sun protect and guarantee the right to adequate healthcare? what is wrong with human beings?

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
