Background: To improve understanding of the respiratory behavior of oliceridine, a μ-opioid receptor agonist that selectively engages the G-protein-coupled signaling pathway with reduced activation of the β-arrestin pathway, the authors compared its utility function with that of morphine. It was hypothesized that at equianalgesia, oliceridine will produce less respiratory depression than morphine and that this is reflected in a superior utility.

Methods: Data from a previous trial that compared the respiratory and analgesic effects of oliceridine and morphine in healthy male volunteers (n = 30) were reanalyzed. A population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis was performed and served as basis for construction of utility functions, which are objective functions of probability of analgesia, P(analgesia), and probability of respiratory depression, P(respiratory depression). The utility function = P(analgesia ≥ 0.5) - P(respiratory depression ≥ 0.25), where analgesia ≥ 0.5 is the increase in hand withdrawal latency in the cold pressor test by at least 50%, and respiratory depression ≥ 0.25 is the decrease of the hypercapnic ventilatory response by at least 25%. Values are median ± standard error of the estimate.

Results: The two drugs were equianalgesic with similar potency values (oliceridine: 27.9 ± 4.9 ng/ml; morphine 34.3 ± 9.7 ng/ml; potency ratio, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.39 to 1.56). A 50% reduction of the hypercapnic ventilatory response by morphine occurred at an effect-site concentration of 33.7 ± 4.8 ng/ml, while a 25% reduction by oliceridine occurred at 27.4 ± 3.5 ng/ml (potency ratio, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.65 to 3.72; P < 0.01). Over the clinically relevant concentration range of 0 to 35 ng/ml, the oliceridine utility function was positive, indicating that the probability of analgesia exceeds the probability of respiratory depression. In contrast, the morphine function was negative, indicative of a greater probability of respiratory depression than analgesia.

Conclusions: These data indicate a favorable oliceridine safety profile over morphine when considering analgesia and respiratory depression over the clinical concentration range.

Background: The antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is increasingly severe in bronchiectasis patients. However, there is currently a lack of research on the clinical outcomes of carbapenem-resistant PA (CRPA) isolation in hospitalized exacerbations of bronchiectasis (HEB) patients. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of PA and CRPA isolation in HEB patients.

Background: Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are the non-invasive tests to measure the lung function. Relationship between pulmonary function and cognition is an emerging area of research, understanding this is crucial for prevention and management of dementia. Hence this study aims to investigate the association between pulmonary function and cognition.

Purpose: In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated with chronic non-invasive ventilation (NIV), the relation between improvements in nocturnal transcutaneous partial pressure of CO (PtcCO) and daytime arterial partial pressure of CO (PaCO) remains uncertain. Also, to what extent improvements in nocturnal PtcCO result in better health-related quality of life (HRQL), exercise capacity, lung function and survival has not been investigated.

Patients And Methods: Patients with COPD who were initiated on chronic NIV were prospectively followed for 6 months.

Introduction: With the widespread use of Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in the chest, more and more people will be detected with pulmonary nodules. The presence of uncertainty following the detection of these nodules can impose significant psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate personality traits, psychological distress, and their impact on pulmonary nodule patients in China.

Objective: Anxiety and depression-like symptoms occur in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Hippocampal Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signaling mediates anxiety- and depression-like behavior. Exercise training improves anxiety and depression-like behavior in various disease models, such as the rat chronic restraint stress model, rat model of posttraumatic stress disorder, and rat model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
