  2. 21. Opioids in the management of pain during delivery

    Author : Christina Olofsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Labour pain; systemic opioids; analgesia; epidural; subarachnoid; sufentanll; fentanyl; postpartal urinary retention; caesarean section; cerebrospinal fluid; endogenous pain controlling mechanisms;

    Abstract : Labour and delivery involve severe pain for most women. The goal for pain treatment in obstetrics is to provide effective and safe analgesia during all phases of delivery. The ideal method for pain relief during delivery is not yet available. READ MORE

  4. 22. Opioid reducing strategies in post-operative pain management

    Author : Mariann Legeby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adequate pain treatment is motivated by humanitarian grounds. It also seeks to reduce morbidity, improve recovery and diminish risks of persistent postoperative pain. The present Study I evaluates patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) against conventional nurse-administered opioid therapy. READ MORE

  5. 23. The chronic painful Achilles tendon : sonographic findings and new methods for treatment

    Author : Lars Öhberg; Karim Khan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate sonographic methods for investigation of the chronic painful Achilles tendon. In a prospective study on patients with chronic painful mid-portion Achilles tendinosis, grey-scale ultrasound (US) showed a decreased tendon thickness and a “normalized” structure in the majority of patients successfully treated with eccentric calf-muscle training.
