Pain: Encyclopedia II - Aspirin - How it works

In a piece of research for which he was awarded both a Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1982 and a knighthood, John Robert Vane, who was then employed by the Royal College of Surgeons in London, showed in 1971 that aspirin suppresses the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. This happens because cyclooxygenase, an enzyme that participates in the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, is irreversibly inhibited when aspirin acetylates it. This makes aspirin different from other NSAIDS (such as diclofenac and ibup ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Postherpetic neuralgia - Lab and imaging studies

Lab Studies: No laboratory work is usually necessary. Results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation are abnormal in 61%. Pleocytosis is observed in 46%, elevated protein in 26%, and VZV DNA in 22%. These findings are not predictive of the PHN clinical course. Viral culture or immunofluorescence staining may be used to differentiate herpes simplex from herpes zoster in cases that are difficult to distinguish clinically. Antibodies to herpes zoster can be measured. A 4-fol ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Aspirin - Synthesis of aspirin

Aspirin is commercially synthesized using a two-step process. First, phenol (generally extracted from coal tar) is treated with a sodium base generating sodium phenoxide, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide under high temperature and pressure to yield salicylate, which is acidifed, yielding salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is then acylated using acetic anhydride, yielding aspirin. It is a common experiment performed in organic chemistry labs, and generally tends to produce low yields due to the relative dif ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Postherpetic neuralgia - Signs and symptoms

Symptoms: With resolution of the HZ eruption, pain that continues for 3 months or more is defined as PHN. Pain is intense and may be described as burning, stabbing, or gnawing. Signs: Area of previous HZ may show evidence of cutaneous scarring. Sensation may be altered over involved areas, in the form of either hypersensitivity or decreased sensation. In rare cases, the patient might also experience muscle weakness, tremor or paralysis †...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Chronic fatigue syndrome - Symptoms

According to the 1994 Fukuda definition there are eight main categories of symptoms in CFS: Fatigue: People with CFS experience profound, overwhelming exhaustion, both mental and physical, which is worsened by exertion, and is not relieved (or not completely relieved) by rest. To receive a diagnosis of CFS, this fatigue state must last for six months. Pain: Pain in CFS may include muscle pain, joint pain (without joint swelling or redness, and may be transitory), headaches (particularly of a new type, severity, or durat ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Chronic fatigue syndrome - Diagnosis

At this time, there is no accepted conclusive test or series of tests of chronic fatigue syndrome. CFS is therefore largely an exclusionary diagnosis. If a doctor suspects a patient may have CFS they should begin the diagnostic process by eliminating other potential causes of the patient's symptoms. "Chronic fatigue" and similar symptoms can be caused by a wide variety of conditions which should be investigated, although treatment of the patient's symptoms can begin before a complete diagnosis is made. In a patient displaying CFS symp ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Sadism and masochism - Sadism and masochism in real life

The term BDSM (A contraction of B&D, D&S and S&M, standing for bondage and discipline, dominance and submission and sadism and masochism respectively) has been created to describe the quite common activities between consenting adults that contain sadistic and masochistic elements. Many behaviors such as erotic spanking, tickling and love-bites that many people think of only as "rough" sex also contain elements of sado-masochism. Note the issue of legal consent which may or may not repre ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Fisting - Health and safety

Fisting is generally considered low risk for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), provided a few basic precautions are followed, but there are other serious health risks that must be taken into careful consideration before engaging in the activity. Fisting is sometimes seen as a violent activity, but that is not usually the case; done properly, it is gentle and slow. Done improperly, fisting can result in serious injuries including ruptured bowels and internal tears and infections, as well as urinary tract infections and pelvi ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Postherpetic neuralgia - Pathophysiology

Postherpetic neuralgia is thought to result after nerve fibers are damaged during a case of HZ. Damaged fibers cannot send electrical signals from the skin to the brain as they normally do, and may be erratic or exaggerated, causing chronic, often excruciating pain that may persist or recur for months — or even years — in the area where shingles first occurred. Some patients with PHN appear to have abnormal function of unmyelinated nociceptors and sensory loss (usually minimal). Pain and temperature detection systems are hypersens ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Aspirin - Discovery

Hippocrates, a Greek physician, wrote in the 5th century BC about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that could ease aches and pains and reduce fevers. This remedy is also mentioned in texts from ancient Sumeria, Egypt and Assyria. Native Americans claim to have used it for headaches, fever, sore muscles, rheumatism, and chills. The Reverend Edward Stone, a vicar from Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire England, noted in 1763 that the bark of the will ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Aspirin -  Name

The brand name Aspirin was coined by the Bayer company of Germany. In some countries the name is used as a generic term for the drug rather than the manufacturer's trademark. In countries in which Aspirin remains a trademark, the initialism ASA is used as a generic term (ASS in German language countries, for Acetylsalicylsäure; AAS in Spanish and Portuguese language countries, for ácido acetilsalicílico). The name "aspirin" is composed of a- (from the acetyl group) -spir- (from the spiraea flower) and -in (a common ending for drugs at the time). Bayer register ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - Feeding options and requirements

Exclusive breastfeeding means feeding a baby nothing but breast milk. Predominant or mixed breastfeeding means feeding breast milk along with some form of substitute – infant formula or baby food and even water, depending upon the age of the child. Babies feed differently with artificial teats than from a breast. When feeding from the breast, the tongue massages the milk out rather than sucking, and the nipple does not go as far into the mouth; when feeding from a bottle, an infant will suck harder. Therefore the advic ...

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - Breastfeeding method

There are many texts available to new mothers to assist in the establishment of breastfeeding. The baby will usually indicate hunger by crying or moaning and fussing. When the baby's cheek is stroked, the baby will move his or her face towards the stroking and open his or her mouth, demonstrating the rooting instinct. Breastfeeding can make the mother thirsty and can last for up to an hour (usually in the early days, when both mother and baby are inexperienced) – it is therefore common for the mother to replace lost water by drinking during the process.

Pain: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - Difficulties with breastfeeding

It is not uncommon for a mother and child to have difficulties breastfeeding in the beginning, but most of these problems resolve in the early weeks. A small percentage (between 2 & 3%) of women are unable to provide a full day's calories. It is not known what causes insufficient milk supply, but extended separation at birth, insufficient glandular tissue, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are all known culprits. Even among this small group, it is feasible to continue breastfeeding while supplementing with donated breastmilk or ...

Main article: Breast milk Throughout the last two trimesters of pregnancy a woman's body produces hormones which stimulate the growth of the milk duct system in the breasts: Progesterone -- influences the growth in size of alveoli and lobes.
