[Interdisciplinary pain consultation or pain conference--multidisciplinary, comprehensive pain management].

From the perspective of an anesthesiologist longstandingly active in pain diagnostic and pain treatment the pain interview, the interdisciplinary pain consulting and the interdisciplinary pain conference as well as the multidisciplinary pain treatment are elucidated. The value of the interdisciplinary pain conference is viewed in the context of comprehensive pain treatment. In order to make decisions every feasible way of evaluation and subsequent treatment must be recognized.

High photorefractive sensitivity at 860 nm in reduced rhodium-doped KNbO(3).

We show that high-temperature reduction in a CO-CO(2) atmosphere increases the photorefractive sensitivity of KNbO(3):Rh at 860nm by 4 orders of magnitude compared with that of the as-grown crystal. The effective trap density is increased by a factor of 3, and the photoconductivity by a factor of 30, and the photorefractive response at a grating spacing of 0.15 mu;m is accelerated by a factor of 400.

The respiratory effects of 1-cis-2-(a-dimethylamino-m-hydroxybenzyl) cyclohexanol-HCl and pentazocine in man.

The respiratory effects of 1-cis-2-(a-dimethylamino-m-hydroxybenzyl) cyclohexanol-HCl (WY-15,705) were compared to those of pentazocine when given intramuscularly to man. It was found that WY-15,705 was 2.8 times as potent in terms of its respiratory depressant effects.

The respiratory effects of dezocine and pentazocine in man.

The respiratory effects of dezocine and pentazocine were studied in five volunteers. Based on their effects over a 3-hour period, it was found that dezocine was 8.6 times as potent as pentazocine in terms of their respiratory depressant effects.
