Article Synopsis
- Opioid analgesics, often used for managing moderate to severe pain, pose safety and efficacy concerns for patients with kidney disease due to their compromised renal function.
- A systematic review of 32 studies highlighted the use of various opioids, including morphine and fentanyl, despite the overall limited quality of evidence available on their effects in patients with reduced kidney function.
- The review suggests morphine as the most studied opioid for safety and effectiveness in renal disease, emphasizing the need for further high-quality research to better understand the risks and benefits of different opioids in this patient population.
Menopausal transition accelerates an age-associated decrease in vascular function and a decline in aerobic fitness. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of interval sprinting cycle ergometer exercise on arterial stiffness, basal forearm blood flow, and aerobic fitness of post-menopausal women. Sixty overweight post-menopausal women were randomized into either exercise (Ex, n = 30) or control (C, n = 30) groups.
