Abstract Purpose. The management of outpatients with cancer painis very important for medication safety. Medical interviews by CP is conducive to pain management. Our objective was to describe the contribution of the clinical pharmacist (CP) to outpatients in pain-relief clinic.Methods. This was a prospective, case-by-case self-control study. One clinical pharmacist conducted three questionnaire surveys. The first happened in the clinic face to face, the second by telephone one week later after the visit and the third by telephone two weeks later. The interventions by CP and comprehensive pain assessment (scored by NRS, sleep, mood and general activities) were both recorded. Analgesic-related knowledge were delivered by CP and were measured both before and after therapy. 1.Department of Pharmacy ,National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100021, China E-mail: [email protected] of Comprehensive Oncology, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100021, China E-mail: [email protected]. 51 patients were enrolled. The top 5 interventions in the first telephone interview(second survey) was suggestions for treating adverse drug reactions(47%), correcting the wrong usage(35%), medication education(26%), recommendations for dosage adjustment(18%) and suggestions for further treatment(15%). While in the second telephone interview (third survey), the rankings were totally inverted. Comprehensive pain assessment showed better in the first interview and then worse in the second. Analgesic-related knowledge increased significantly after the education by CP.Conclusions. CP made a totally different interventions at the different stages of medication in the outpatients with cancer pain,which may be related to the pain control. Patients’ knowledge regarding analgesics significantly increased after education by CP.

Objective: Now a day Cancer is the furthermost dangerous diseases. It can develop almost anywhere in the body. Cancer is a disease whose treatment process takes too long time and also too costly. Methods: This is a survey work on cancer due to current increasing of the number of cancer patients in Bangladesh. This evaluation was conceded in Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh, from 10th November 2019 to 25th February 2020. Here, 31 cancer patients were evaluated. Results: In this work, it is observed that most of the cancer patients were female. In this study, it was also observed the cancer was occurred highly at the age of 41-50 years (30%), then age limit 31-40 (20%).Most of the female are bearing ovary cancer (26%) and Breast cancer (29%) and also male are affected by Thyroid cancer (26%). We found that 60% of patients were being treated with chemotherapy alone. Doctors were commonly prescribed of chemo drugs Cisplatin (21%) and Folinic acid (29%). Conclusion: Government should highlight on the expansion of specific cancer center. Such types of centers can also deliver rehabilitation as well as relaxing care for dangerous cancer patients to release their highdistress.

Evaluation And Assessment

The evaluation and assessment of the level of pain calves are experiencing is important, as the experience of pain (e.g., due to routine husbandry procedures) severely affects the welfare of calves. Studies about the recognition of pain in calves, and especially pain management during and after common procedures, such as castration, dehorning, and disbudding, have been published. This narrative review discusses and summarizes the existing literature about methods for pain assessment in calves. First, it deals with the definition of pain and the challenges associated with the recognition of pain in calves. Then it proceeds to outline the different options and methods for subjective and objective pain assessment in calves, as described in the literature. Research data show that there are several tools suitable for the assessment of pain in calves, at least for research purposes. Finally, it concludes that for research purposes, various variables for the assessment of pain in calves are used in combination. However, there is no variable which can be used solely for the exclusive assessment of pain in calves. Also, further research is needed to describe biomarkers or variables which are easily accessible in the field practice.

Attention To Pain

Pain is a medical and nursing problem that is common in surgical departments. Inadequate pain management can lead to patient distress, as well as extending the period in which the patient’s quality of life is reduced. The standardized SF-MPQ-2 questionnaire provides nurses with the opportunity to assess pain within a broader context. The aim of this descriptive and exploratory study was to describe the state of pain assessment in surgical patients in the South Bohemian Region and to highlight the benefits of using a standardized tool for proper pain assessment. The research was carried out using a quantitative survey within the South Bohemian Region (Czech Republic). The participants in the study were nurses working in surgical departments in hospitals in the region as well as hospitalized patients. The results show that nurses pay slightly more attention to pain assessments than doctors. We know that, generally, pain decreases with time after surgery. Nonetheless, returning pain, as well as continuous pain, can occur, both of which have an emotional component. The results of this study are directed at nurses and include a call for more effective pain management through improved assessment.

Background: The all-too-frequent failure to rate pain intensity, resulting in the lack of or inadequacy of pain management, has long ceased to be an exclusive problem of the young patient, becoming a major public health concern. This study aimed to evaluate the methods used for reducing post-traumatic pain in children and the frequency of use of such methods. Additionally, the methods of pain assessment and the frequency of their application in this age group were analysed. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2452 medical records of emergency medical teams dispatched to injured children aged 0–18 years in the area around Warsaw (Poland). Results: Of all injured children, 1% (20 out of 2432) had their pain intensity rated, and the only tool used for this assessment was the numeric rating scale (NRS). Children with burns most frequently received a single analgesic drug or cooling (56.2%), whereas the least frequently used method was multimodal treatment combining pharmacotherapy and cooling (13.5%). Toddlers constituted the largest percentage of patients who were provided with cooling (12%). Immobilisation was most commonly used in adolescents (29%) and school-age children (n = 186; 24%). Conclusions: Low frequency of pain assessment emphasises the need to provide better training in the use of various pain rating scales and protocols. What is more, non-pharmacological methods (cooling and immobilisation) used for reducing pain in injured children still remain underutilized.

Background and objectives: Identification, an aspect of forensic anthropology, is the recognition of an individual based on the physical characteristics unique to the individual. Among the four main attributes i.e. gender, age, stature and ethnic or racial background of an individual’s biological identity, sex determination is usually the first step in the human identification process. Teeth can be used as a means of sex determination as teeth are resistant to post-mortem degradation and survive deliberate, accidental or natural change. This study was carried out with an objective to determine the sexual dimorphism of maxillary and mandibular canine by linear tooth diameter for permanent dentition in Moradabad population. Material and Methods: A total number of 40 subjects (20 Males and 20 Females) were included in this study. After obtaining an informed written consent, alginate impression was taken with help of perforated impression trays and study models were prepared with type IV dental stone. Linear (MD, BL, Crown Height) were taken with digital vernier caliper. Results: It was observed that males’ shows more mean linear crown diameter as compared to females. Also, the mesiodistal and buccolingual measurement shows statistically significant difference for all canines, being higher for males than females. Conclusion: The present study has expressed sexual dimorphism of permanent canine using Student’s test and indicate that linear dimension of maxillary canine can be used for sexual diamorphism with accuracy along with other accepted procedure for sex determination.
