Associations of Palliative Care with chemical compounds

  • PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients in international palliative care clinics with pain requiring initiation of strong opioids were randomly assigned to receive methadone (7.5 mg orally every 12 hours and 5 mg every 4 hours as needed) or morphine (15 mg sustained release every 12 hours and 5 mg every 4 hours as needed) [28].
  • In this report, we review the use of methylphenidate in the palliative care of patients with cancer [29].
  • Oxaliplatin may be a palliative treatment option for this patient population, and evaluation in combination regimens is warranted [30].
  • The use of radiolabelled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and 111In octreotide as potential therapeutic agents has been explored and may be potentially useful in palliative care [31].
  • Our results emphasise once again the marked efficacy and low rate of complications associated with oral and parenteral analgesic therapy as the mainstay of pain treatment in the palliative care of patients with advanced cancer [32].
 

Gene context of Palliative Care

  • Ionizing radiation causes a dose-dependent release of transforming growth factor alpha in vitro from irradiated xenografts and during palliative treatment of hormone-refractory prostate carcinoma [33].
  • The anti-AChE efficacy of bis(7)-tacrine was quite similar following an oral or i.p. administration, but tacrine showed much lower efficacy when administered orally than when given i.p. These findings suggest bis(7)-tacrine, a highly potent and selective inhibitor of AChE, can probably be used as an improved drug in the palliative treatment of AD [34].
  • According to preliminary data, this study demonstrates that intracavitary administration of cytokines, including IL-2, IFN alpha and -beta, is a new well-tolerated palliative therapy for malignant effusions, with an efficacy substantially comparable to that described with the most commonly used treatments with tetracyclines or cytostatic agents [35].
  • In patients who underwent palliative surgery, the serum MCP-1 level significantly decreased postoperatively, whereas in patients who underwent curative surgery the serum MCP-1 level tended to increase [36].
  • Meloxicam and selective COX-2 inhibitors in the management of pain in the palliative care population [37].
