Latest AI and machine learning research in back pain for healthcare professionals.
Most contemporary drug discovery projects start with a 'hit discovery' phase where small chemicals are identified that have the capacity to interact, in a chemical sense, with a protein target involved in a given disease. To assist and accelerate this initial drug discovery process, 'virtual docking calculations' are routinely performed, where computational models of proteins and computational mod...
BACKGROUND: Value sets are lists of terms (e.g., opioid medication names) and their corresponding codes from standard clinical vocabularies (e.g., RxNorm) created with the intent of supporting health information exchange and research. Value sets are manually-created and often exhibit errors.
PURPOSE: To provide an updated review of multimodal pain management in arthroscopic surgery by evaluating pain and opioid consumption after shoulder, ...
BACKGROUND: Recently, several case reports and limited randomized studies have shown that quadratus lumborum blocks (QLB) are effective in providing p...
IMPORTANCE: The opioid crisis has increasingly affected pregnant people and infants. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, a known complication of opioi...
OBJECTIVE: Gabapentinoids (GPT) are reported to be increasingly misused by opioid- and polydrug-users, but the addictive potential of GPT outside of t...
Genetics play an important role in opioid use disorder (OUD); however, few specific gene variants have been identified. Therefore, there is a need to ...
Evidence supporting the safe use of the single-port (SP) robot for partial nephrectomy is scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperati...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has replaced open prostatectomy. However, RALP does not reduce...
The advent of increasingly sophisticated medical technology, surgical interventions, and supportive healthcare measures is raising survival probabilit...
Comparative outcome studies investigating internal Double-J (DJ) and externalized stents have primarily been performed for open and laparoscopic pyel...
Although single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) is considered a safe and feasible approach for radical prostatectomy, the compara...
Drug-drug interactions account for up to 30% of adverse drug reactions. Increasing prevalence of electronic health records (EHRs) offers a unique oppo...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely prescribed for the treatment of various types of inflammatory conditions. Diclofenac is a ve...
An objective measure of pain remains an unmet need of people with chronic pain, estimated to be 1/3 of the adult population in the United States. The ...
: Experiences with psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin or lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), are sometimes followed by changes in patterns of tobacco...
BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of postoperative opioid use requires accurate prediction strategies to identify at-risk patients. We utilize preoperat...
Health system data incompletely capture the social risk factors for drug overdose. This study aimed to improve the accuracy of a machine-learning algo...
Opioid abuse is a significant public health problem. Over two million Americans have some form of addiction to opioids; however, despite governmental ...
The US is experiencing an opioid epidemic, and opioid overdose is causing more than 100 deaths per day. Early identification of patients at high risk ...
