Study Objective: We aimed to assess and compare the analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of intravenous subdissociative-dose ketamine to nebulized ketamine in emergency department (ED) patients with acute painful conditions.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy clinical trial in adult patients (ages 18 and older) with a numerical rating scale pain score of ≥5. We randomized subjects to receive either a single dose of 0.
Prior literature evaluating the importance of timely second-dose antibiotics in patients with sepsis has led to better outcomes and a possible reduction in mortality, length of mechanical ventilation, and length of time requiring vasopressors. To evaluate the impact of a newly developed pharmacist-led two-dose cefepime protocol implemented within an emergency department (ED) service. This was a retrospective, single-center, pre-post observational cohort study.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, open-label trial of ED patients aged 18 and older presenting with moderate to severe acute musculoskeletal pain as defined by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) with an initial score of ≥5. Patients were randomized to receive either 324 mg of VTS-Aspirin™ and 0.
Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSK) affects one out of three adults and is the most common source of significant long-term pain, physical disability, and under-treatment in the emergency department (ED).
Objective: We aimed to assess the analgesic efficacy of a combination of oral VTS-Aspirin® (Vitalis Analgesics, New York, NY) and ketamine in managing acute MSK pain in adult ED patients.
Methods: This was a prospective, proof-of-concept, single-arm, pilot study evaluating the analgesic efficacy of a single dose of oral combination of VTS-Aspirin and ketamine in adult ED patients with acute moderate-to-severe MSK pain.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of nebulized ketamine in emergency patients with pain, comparing three different doses: 0.75 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, and 1.5 mg/kg.
- In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 120 adults, researchers measured pain relief at 30 minutes using a numeric scale and tracked the need for additional pain relief and adverse events.
- Results showed no significant differences in pain relief among the three doses, with no serious side effects or vital sign changes noted, indicating that all doses were similarly effective for short-term pain management.
Objective: Previous research demonstrated that administration of Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release (MSIR) results in similar analgesic efficacy to Oxycodone but with significantly lesser degrees of euphoria and reward. The purpose of this study sit to investigate if MSIR combined with Acetaminophen can serve as an opioid analgesic alternative to Oxycodone combined with acetaminophen (Percocet) for acute pain in the Emergency Department (ED).
Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind trial of ED patients aged 18 to 64 years presenting with moderate to severe acute pain as defined by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) with an initial score of ≥5 (0 = no pain and 10 = very severe pain).
Dynamics of atmospheric carbon dioxide over different land cover types in India.
Environ Monit Assess
January 2020
This study presents an analysis of high-resolution space borne retrievals of the column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of carbon dioxide [Formula: see text] and the role of vegetation in controlling atmospheric CO dynamics over the Indian region. Nadir and glint mode [Formula: see text] retrievals from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) spectrometer for the period September 2014-July 2017 are studied with satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and rainfall over different land cover types. The atmospheric [Formula: see text] variability shows a strong negative correlation with satellite-derived NDVI.

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial evaluating ED patients aged 65 and older experiencing moderate to severe acute abdominal, flank, musculoskeletal, or malignant pain. Patients were randomized to receive SDK at 0.
