Prescription drug monitoring and drug overdose mortality
BACKGROUND Abuse of prescription drugs, particularly opioid analgesics, has become a major source of injury mortality and morbidity in the United States. To prevent the diversion and misuse of controlled substances, many states have implemented prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs). This study assessed the impact of state PDMPs on drug overdose mortality. METHODS We analyzed demograph...

Since a healthy donor can function satisfactorily with a single kidney, the removal of one of them for transplantation does not significantly endanger live.1,2,3 Removal, or substantial partial removal, of other organs, such a the heart,...
متن کاملα-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Treatment in Pigs Does Not Improve Early Graft Function in Kidney Transplants from Brain Dead Donors
Delayed graft function and primary non-function are serious complications following transplantation of kidneys derived from deceased brain dead (DBD) donors. α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide and its renoprotective effects have been demonstrated in models of acute kidney injury. We hypothesized that α-MSH treatment of the recipient improves early graft funct...
متن کاملRenal Transplants in Man from Cadaveric Donors
In 1963 five cases of cadaveric renal transplantation in man were reported from this hospital (Calne et al., 1963a). Four of these patients died within two months of operation, the fifth was surviving after eight months. Fifteen further cadaveric transplants have since been performed, and we here report the results of the 20 cases. Three transplants were valuable therapeutically, restoring the ...
متن کاملUPDATE IN INTENSIVE CARE: TRANSPLANTS Primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation
