Tapering Long-term Opioid Therapy in Chronic Noncancer Pain: Evidence and Recommendations for Everyday Practice.
Increasing concern about the risks and limited evidence supporting the therapeutic benefit of long-term opioid therapy for chronic noncancer pain are leading prescribers to consider discontinuing the use of opioids. In addition to overt addiction or diversion, the presence of adverse effects, diminishing analgesia, reduced function and quality of life, or the absence of progress toward function...
متن کاملDiscontinuation of benzodiazepines among older insomniac adults treated with cognitive-behavioural therapy combined with gradual tapering: a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND Long-term use of hypnotics is not recommended because of risks of dependency and adverse effects on health. The usual clinical management of benzodiazepine dependency is gradual tapering, but when used alone this method is not highly effective in achieving long-term discontinuation. We compared the efficacy of tapering plus cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia with tapering alo...
متن کاملBenzodiazepines for prolonged seizures.
INTRODUCTION Convulsive status epilepticus is a common emergency condition in paediatric practice. Classically, it is defi ned as continuous or recurrent seizure activity lasting for longer than 30 min in which the patient does not regain baseline mental status.1 Commonly, intervention is recommended after only 5 min of seizure activity2 as neuronal damage may begin to occur after this period, ...
متن کاملElectrical Metrics for Lithographic Line-End Tapering
A major source of patterning problems in low-k1 lithography is line-end pullback. Though geometric metrics such as CD at gate edge have served as good indicators, the ever-rising contribution of line-end extension to layout area necessitates reducing pessimism in qualifying line-end patterning. Electrically-aware metrics for line-ends can be helpful in this regard. In this work, we calculate th...
متن کاملLogarithmic Tapering Graph Pyramid
We present a new method to determine contraction kernels for the construction of graph pyramids. The new method works with undirected graphs and yields a reduction factor of at least 2.0. This means that with our method the number of vertices in the subgraph induced by any set of contractible edges is reduced to half or less by a single parallel contraction. Our method yields better reduction f...
