Abstract
Opioid addiction remains a widespread issue despite continuous attempts by the FDA to help maintain abstinence. Melatonin is a neurohormone considered to be involved only in the neuroendocrine and reproductive systems; however, recent reports have demonstrated its potential to attenuate drug addiction and dependence. Cumulative studies have suggested that melatonin can attenuate the rewarding effects of several drugs of abuse, including opioids. This study aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin (50 mg/kg) on morphine (5 mg/kg) to produce place preference. We also investigated the effect of melatonin and morphine on the expression of GLT-1, BDNF, NF-κB, and CREB within the nucleus accumbens. Male Wistar rats were divided into control, morphine, melatonin, and the morphine + melatonin groups. The study involved a two-phase habituation phase from day 1 to day 3 and an acquisition phase from day 5 to day 14. The conditioned place preference (CPP) score, distance traveled, resting time, ambulatory count, and total activity count were measured for all animals. Rats that received morphine showed a significant increase in CPP score compared to those in the control group. Morphine treatment reduced the mRNA expression of GLT-1, BDNF, and CREB and increased that of NF-κB. However, melatonin treatment administered 30 min before morphine treatment attenuated morphine place preference and reversed GLT-1, BDNF, NF-κB, and CREB expression levels. In conclusion, the study results indicate, for the first time, the new potential targets of melatonin in modulating morphine-induced CPP.

Abstract
Opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and it is thought that the problem started with the prescription for legal pain medications by health care professionals, particularly for treating patients who had undergone surgery. To reduce the reliance on opioids in dental pain management, increase use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other adjunctive techniques have emerged. The use of NSAIDs, transdermal and transmucosal patches are presented. Understanding the rational for these different approaches requires a basic knowledge of the molecular biology of dental pain.

Abstract
: Background: Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA), which typically involves opioids, has become widely used in clinical settings as an effective method of pain management. Identifying errors in the administration of these drugs is essential to improving patient outcomes. This study sought to describe and analyze the errors associated with postoperative IV PCA. METHODS Relevant data were collected from the medical records of all patients who received IV PCA at a large academic medical center in South Korea during a three-year period. The study sample comprised 45,104 patients who used one of four types of IV PCA delivery devices. RESULTS Errors occurred in 406 cases (0.9%). Operator error was the most common type of error (54.7%), followed by device malfunction (32.3%), prescription error (12.3%), and patient error (0.7%). Of the 222 operator errors, the most frequent type was failure to begin IV PCA drug administration (28.8%), followed by programming errors by non-anesthesia providers who weren't authorized to program the device (24.8%) and wrong infusion rates set by anesthesia providers who were so authorized (24.8%). CONCLUSIONS The findings provide valuable information that can aid in the development of policy and procedures for safer, more effective postoperative administration of IV PCA. They also suggest that it's necessary not only to improve the operation of acute pain services teams, but also to ensure ongoing provider and patient education specific to IV PCA use.

Abstract
Pain levels after cardiac surgery are often severe and undertreated. The effects of undertreatment may be both severe and prolonged. The incidence of chronic pain after cardiac surgery varies between 21% and 55%. Pain syndromes that occur following cardiac surgery may be multiple and may be of visceral, musculoskeletal, or neurogenic origin. Risk factors for acute pain vary depending on the study but generally include younger age, longer duration of surgery, and the location of the surgery. Risk factors for chronic pain include depression and psychological vulnerability, both preoperative and postoperative. Other independent risk factors for chronic pain are more extensive surgery, surgery lasting longer than 3 hours, and ASA grade greater than III. Pain control is achieved with regular and systematic evaluation and the use of multimodal regimens. Treatment strategies that are commonly used include opioids, paracetamol, NSAIDS, and more recently anticonvulsants.

Abstract
Some degree of pain accompanies all surgical procedures. Current evidence informs us that patients will experience significant physiological and psychological effects if this pain is not adequately treated. These effects can cause serious harm, delay recovery from surgery, and in some cases lead to persistent post-surgical chronic pain. This article briefly discusses the importance of assessing patients preoperatively and highlights how some patients will have risk factors which may lead them to experience severe postoperative pain. Approaches to postoperative pain control are focused on ways to address the inter-patient differences in response to pain and treatments and avoid periods of ineffective pain relief. A review of the commonly used analgesics, paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids and local anaesthetics, and methods of administration, is included. The final section provides a short review of emerging trends in acute pain therapy and the implications for improving patient care.
