The treatment of pain in acute myocardial infarction varies with local practice. Narcotic analgesics are still the usual treatment in many hospitals. Knowledge of optimal doses, duration of pain relief, and time between drug administration and pain relief is inadequate. Many studies indicate that the relief of pain is often incomplete after' treatment with narcotic analgesics. There is often a ...

Valuable criminal-justice data in free texts such as police narrative reports are currently difficult to be accessed and used by intelligence investigators in crime analyses. It would be desirable to automatically identify from text reports meaningful entities, such as person names, addresses, narcotic drugs, or vehicle names to facilitate crime investigation. In this paper, we report our work ...

Evidence is presented from more than 300 subjects to show that promethazine potentiates the action of six different narcotics (morphine, pethidine, oxymorphone, hydromorphone, fentanyl and pentazocine). In each instance there was prolongation rather than deepening of the narcotic action. Such an effect is consistent with the known membrane-stabilizing action of promethazine and is likely to occ...

Narcotic analgesics have been shown to be accumulated in cerebral cortical slices by a process having the characteristics of an active transport system. In addition, diffusion and binding contributed to the total uptake of the analgesics into brain slices. The total uptake of dihydromorphine (1 x 10-e M in medium) was found to reach steady state equilibrium in 30 min at 37” with a maximum tissu...

Clinicians often hesitate to give adequate doses of narcotic analgesics such as morphine and pethidine because these compounds are known to have a marked respiratory depressant effect. As a result there has been considerable interest in the possibility of combining a dose of one of these analgesics with a small quantity of one of the specific narcotic antagonists. The latter substances are know...
