BACKGROUND The 'inherited' patient, where a patient switches to a new doctor, is a common and potentially challenging scenario, especially where drugs of dependence are involved. There are few resources to guide general practitioners (GPs) with an approach that ensures compassion and rational clinical decision-making. OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to guide GPs in an approach to taking ...
متن کاملLink between pain and olfaction in an inherited sodium channelopathy.
In a major breakthrough in our understanding of human olfaction, a recent study showed that loss-of-function mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, encoded by the gene SCN9A, cause a loss of the sense of smell (congenital general anosmia) in mice and humans. These findings are of special clinical relevance because Nav1.7 was previously known for its essential role in the percepti...

By placing patients into risk categories of low, medium, or high (Groups I, II, and III), it beca...
متن کاملImpaired behavioural pain responses in hph-1 mice with inherited deficiency in GTP cyclohydrolase 1 in models of inflammatory pain
BACKGROUND GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTP-CH1), the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), encoded by the GCH1 gene, has been implicated in the development and maintenance of inflammatory pain in rats. In humans, homozygous carriers of a "pain-protective" (PP) haplotype of the GCH1 gene have been identified exhibiting lower pain sensitivity, but only following pain sensi...
