Tobacco smoking is associated with adverse health effects, and its relationship to pain complex. The longitudinal effect of on patients attending a tertiary management center not well established. Using the Collaborative Health Outcomes Information Registry Stanford Pain Management Center from 2013 2017, we conducted propensity-weighted analysis determine independent effects chronic pain. We adjusted for covariates including age, sex, body mass index, depression anxiety history, ethnicity,...

Objective Four sets of eight audible alarms matching the functions specified in IEC 60601-1-8 were designed using known principles from auditory cognition with intention that they would be more recognizable and localizable than those currently standard. Background The associated 60601-1-8, a global medical device standard, are to difficult learn retain, there have been many calls update them. There design might form basis readily alarms. is also scope for improvement localizability existing...

BACKGROUND: Understanding the association of acute pain intensity and opioid consumption after cardiac surgery with chronic postsurgical (CPSP) can facilitate implementation personalized prevention measures to improve outcomes. The objectives were (1) examine daily mg morphine equivalent dose (MME/day) trajectories surgery, (2) identify factors associated trajectories, (3) assess whether are risk for CPSP. METHODS: Prospective observational cohort study design conducted between August 2012...
