The central mechanisms of analgesic action of phentanyl and moradol are compared using analysis of changes in the early and late components of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) of the brain in normal volunteers in response to pain stimulation. Phentanyl and moradol differently affect the changes in the early components of SSEP: phentanyl reduces their amplitude, whereas moradol increases it. Both drugs similarly influenced changes in the late components of SSEP. Specific effects of the drugs on the sensory and psychoemotional components of pain perception by man are discussed.

Advancements in understanding pain physiopathology have historically challenged animals' absence of pain senses. Studies have demonstrated that animals have comparable neural pain pathways, suggesting that cats and dogs likely experience pain similarly to humans. Understanding brain circuits for effective pain control has been crucial to adjusting pain management to the patient's individual responses and current condition.

The objectives of this prospective, randomized, blinded, crossover, experimental study were to detect the potential anaesthetic- and analgesic-sparing effects of classical music provided to dogs undergoing skin surgery, and to investigate the role of substance P as an intraoperative pain indicator. Twenty dogs were included, each subjected to three different treatments: Chopin music, Mozart music and no music. They were premedicated with acepromazine, butorphanol and meloxicam and anaesthetized with propofol and isoflurane.

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common tachyarrhythmia, while catheter ablation is an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation. However, pain and nervousness may occur during the procedure. Moreover, a consensus has still not been reached on which is the best kind of analgesic and sedative to use in these procedures.
