  2. 1. Craniofacial pain of cardiac origin : an interdisciplinary study

    Author : Marcelo Kreiner; Annika Isberg; Antoon de Laat; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; craniofacial pain; referred pain; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Referred pain is frequently associated with misdiagnosis and unnecessary therapy directed to the pain location instead of its origin. When craniofacial pain is the sole symptom of myocardial ischemia, failure to recognize its cardiac source can endanger the patient. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pain treatment after surgery : With special reference to patient-controlled analgesia, early extubation and the use of paracetamol

    Author : Pia Holmér Pettersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Stockholm Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : acetaminophen; analgesia; patient-controlled; analgesics; day surgery; heart surgery; opioid; ketobemidone; pain measurement; pain; postoperative; paracetamol; postoperative nausea and vomiting; visual analogue scale; Acetaminophen; analgesia; patient-controlled; analgesics; day surgery; heart surgery; opioid; ketobemidone; pain measurement; pain; postoperative; paracetamol; postoperative nausea and vomiting; visual analogue scale;

    Abstract : The introduction of general anaesthesia eliminated pain during surgical operations. After surgery, however, pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have remained a persistent problem for many patients. The need for analgesics varies widely among patients, therefore standardised treatment protocols are often insufficient pain treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving care for patients with non-cardiac chest pain : Description of psychological distress and costs, and evaluation of an Internet-delivered intervention

    Abstract : Introduction: More than half of all patients seeking care for chest pain do not have a cardiac cause for this pain. Despite recurrent episodes of chest pain, many patients are discharged without a clear explanation of the cause for their pain. READ MORE

  6. 4. The effects and experiences of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy : The perspectives of patients with non-cardiac chest pain and healthcare professionals in the emergency and cardiac care

    Author : Magda Eriksson-Liebon; Ghassan Mourad; Peter Johansson; Lilas Ali; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : BackgroundNon-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common issue, accounting for roughly half of all emergency department visits related to chest pain. Patients afflicted with NCCP often endure cardiac anxiety, misinterpreting the pain as heart-related and fearing it, despite the absence of any life-threatening cardiac issues. READ MORE

  7. 5. Release and Clearance Mechanisms of Cardiac Troponin

    Author : Karin Starnberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; cardiac; Troponin;

    Abstract : Myocardial infarction (MI) is often suspected when a patient presents with chest pain. MI is defined as cardiac necrosis due to ischemia, most often mediated through impaired coronary perfusion. Cardiac necrosis results in the release of myoglobin, creatine kinase and cardiac troponin (cTn) to the circulation. READ MORE
