Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery (ERATS) protocols use a combination of analgesics for pain control. We investigated the effect of non-steroidal analgesic drugs (NSAIDs) on pain control by comparing patient levels and opioid requirements after robotic pulmonary resections. Methods We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively maintained institutional database for elective, opioid-naïve robotic thoracoscopic pulmonary resections. All patients received postoperative NSAIDs unless contraindicated or at the discretion of the attending surgeons. Our original protocol (ERATS-V1) was modified to optimize opioid-sparing effect without affecting pain control (ERATS-V2). Demographics, operative outcomes, and postoperative opioid dispensed [morphine milligram equivalent (MME)] were collected. Results A total of 491 patients (147 ERATS-V1; 344 ERATS-V2) were included in this study. There was no difference in patient characteristics or operative outcomes between ERATS cohorts. Protocol optimization was associated with a 2- to 10-fold reduction of postoperative opioid use without compromising pain control. In ERATS-V1 cohort, there was no difference in pain levels and opioid requirements with NSAID usage. In ERATS-V2 cohort, while pain levels were similar, higher in-hospital opioid consumption was observed in no-NSAID subgroup {MME: 20.5 [interquartile range (IQR), 4.8-40.5] vs. 12.0 (IQR, 2.0-32.2), P=0.0096, schedule II: 14.2 (IQR, 3.0-36.4) vs. 6.8 (IQR, 1.4-24.0), P=0.012} as well as total postoperative schedule II opioid requirement [17.8 (IQR, 3.0-43.5) vs. 8.8 (IQR, 1.5-30), P=0.032]. Conclusions The opioid-sparing effect of NSAIDs was observed only in optimized ERATS patients. Modifications of our pre-existing ERATS was associated with a significant reduction of opioid consumption without affecting pain levels. This revealed the role of NSAIDs in postoperative pain management otherwise masked by excessive opioids use.

Abstract
Managing castration pain on US sow farms is hindered by the lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved products for mitigating pain. Previous work assessing flunixin meglumine (FM) efficacy in mitigating castration pain has shown the drug to be effective in pigs, meanwhile, results from previous work evaluating lidocaine efficacy are contradictory. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of inguinal buffered lidocaine (BL) and FM in mitigating castration pain in piglets. This study was divided into Part I (physiological response) and Part II (behavioral response). For part I piglets were randomly assigned to the following treatments: T1: (C) Castration plus physiological saline; T2: (S) Sham plus physiological saline; T3: (CL) Castration plus BL; T4: (SL) Sham plus BL; T5: (CF) Castration plus FM; T6: (SF) Sham plus FM; T7: (CLF) Castration plus BL and FM; T8: (SLF) Sham plus BL and FM. Blood was collected 24 h prior to castration, 1 h, and 24 h post castration for cortisol quantification. For Part II another cohort of piglets was enrolled and randomly assign to the following treatments: T1: (C) Castration plus physiological saline and T7: (CLF) Castration plus BL and FM. Behavior scoring was obtained in real-time by observing each piglet for 4-min continuously using Unesp-Botucatu pig acute pain scale (UPAPS) at the following timepoints: 1 h before castration (-1 h), immediately post-castration (0 h), and 3 h post-castration (+3 h). Average cortisol concentrations did not differ at -24 h (P > 0.05) or at 24 h post-castration (P > 0.05) between treatments. At 1 h post-castration, castrated piglets (C and CL) demonstrated greater cortisol concentrations (P < 0.05). Castrated piglets in the CF and CLF group had lower cortisol concentrations compared to C and CL-treated pigs (P < 0.05). For behavioral response, there were no differences between treatments on total UPAPS scores (C and CLF, P > 0.05). Intranasal FM was able to effectively reduce the physiological piglet's response immediately post-castration. Inguinal buffered lidocaine had no effect on the either physiological or behavioral response to pain. Long-term research should focus on refining injection techniques for inguinal BL and consider administration frequency and dosing of intranasal FM to control pain for a longer period post-castration.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the bitterness of famotidine (FAM) combined with each of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen (IBU), flurbiprofen (FLU), and naproxen (NAP), which have potential as fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs. We evaluated the bitterness of FAM and each NSAID by taste sensor AN0 and C00, respectively. FAM showed high sensor output representing sensitivity to bitterness, whereas three NSAIDs did not show large sensor output, suggesting that the bitterness intensities of three NSAIDs were lower than that of FAM. The bitterness of FAM on sensor AN0 was suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner when mixed with IBU, FLU, or NAP. Among three NSAIDs, IBU most effectively inhibited bitterness on sensor output, and the gustatory sensation test confirmed that adding IBU to FAM reduced the bitterness of FAM in a concentration-dependent manner. MarvinSketch confirmed that the drugs were mostly present in an ionic solution when FAM was mixed with NSAIDs. The 1H-NMR spectroscopy analysis also revealed the presence of electrostatic interactions between FAM and NSAIDs, suggesting that the electrostatic interaction between FAM and NSAIDs might inhibit the adsorption of FAM on the bitter taste sensor membrane, thereby masking the bitter taste.

Abstract
Introduction Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate are commonly used in dogs with OA, but evidence around efficacy is mixed. This study evaluated the effectiveness of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, marine based fatty acid compounds (PCSO-524 and EAB-277), and carprofen for the alleviation of canine hip OA pain. This was a prospective, block-randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Methods Seventy-five owned pet dogs with hip OA were assigned randomly into five treatment groups: PCSO-524, Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, EAB-277, carprofen, and Placebo (sunflower oil). Peak vertical force (PVF) and subjective orthopedic assessment scores (OAS) were evaluated before treatment (week 0), and at weeks 2, 4, and 6 during treatment. Results At week 2, the carprofen group showed a significant increase in PVF (3.14 ± 5.33; mean ± SD). After 4 weeks, the increases in PVF of the PCSO-524 (3.90 ± 3.52), EAB-277 (4.17 ± 4.94), and carprofen (3.08 ± 5.87) groups were significant, and significantly greater than placebo (0.08 ± 1.90) and glucosamine (-0.05 ± 6.34) groups. After 6 weeks, the change of PVF in the PCSO-524 (4.14 ± 4.65), EAB-277 (4.45 ± 4.23), and carprofen (4.21 ± 6.52) groups were significant and significantly higher than the placebo group (-0.33 ± 3.65). The change in PVF in the glucosamine group (1.08 ± 5.49) lay between the placebo group and the other treatment groups. The OAS did not show any significant change in any group. Discussion PCSO-524 and EAB-277, but not glucosamine/chondroitin, resulted in significant improvements in PVF from baseline after 4 weeks, and 6 weeks, and to a similar degree to that seen with carprofen.

Abstract
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for treatment of musculoskeletal injuries is commonplace in the general, athletic, and military populations. While NSAIDs have been studied in a variety of tissues, the effects of NSAIDs on skeletal muscle have not been fully defined. To address this, we investigated the degree to which the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-selective NSAID celecoxib affects muscle cell proliferation, differentiation, anabolic signaling, and mitochondrial function in primary human skeletal myoblasts and myotubes. Primary muscle cells were treated with celecoxib or NS-398 (a pharmacological inhibitor of COX-2) as a control. Celecoxib administration significantly reduced myoblast proliferation, viability, fusion, and myotube area in a dose-dependent manner, whereas NS-398 had no effect on any of these outcomes. Celecoxib treatment was also associated with reduced phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 in myoblasts, and reduced phosphorylation of AKT, p70S6K, S6, and ERK in myotubes. In contrast, NS-398 did not alter phosphorylation of these molecules in myoblasts or myotubes. In myoblasts, celecoxib significantly reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and respiration, as evidenced by the decreased citric acid cycle (CAC) intermediates cis-aconitic acid, alpha-keto-glutarate acid, succinate acid, and malic acid. Similar results were observed in myotubes, although celecoxib also reduced pyruvic acid, citric acid, and fumaric acid. NS-398 did not affect CAC intermediates in myoblasts or myotubes. Together, these data reveal that celecoxib inhibits proliferation, differentiation, intracellular signaling, and mitochondrial function in primary human myoblasts and myotubes independent of its function as a COX-2 inhibitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent tinnitus is common, disabling, and difficult to treat. High-dose aspirin may precipitate tinnitus, but longitudinal data on typical dose aspirin and other analgesics are scarce. OBJECTIVE To investigate independent associations of aspirin, NSAIDs, and acetaminophen and risk of incident persistent tinnitus. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Nurses' Health Study II (1995-2017). PARTICIPANTS A total of 69,455 women, age 31-48 years, without tinnitus at baseline. MAIN MEASURES Information on analgesic use and tinnitus obtained by biennial questionnaires. KEY RESULTS After 1,120,936 person-years of follow-up, 10,452 cases of incident persistent tinnitus were reported. For low-dose aspirin, the risk of developing persistent tinnitus was not elevated among frequent low-dose aspirin users. For moderate dose aspirin, frequent use was associated with higher risk of tinnitus among women aged < 60 years, but not among older women (p-interactionage = 0.003). Compared with women aged < 60 using moderate-dose aspirin < 1 day/week, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (MVHR, 95% CI) among women using moderate-dose aspirin 6-7 days per week was 1.16 (1.03, 1.32). Among all women, frequent non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or acetaminophen use was associated with higher risk. Compared with women using NSAIDs <1 day/week, the MVHR for use 4-5days/week was 1.17 (1.08, 1.28) and for 6-7days/week was 1.07 (1.00, 1.16) (p-trend=0.001). For acetaminophen, compared with use <1 day/week, the MVHR for use 6-7days/week was 1.18 (1.07, 1.29) (p-trend=0.002). LIMITATIONS Information on tinnitus and analgesic use was self-reported. Information on indications for analgesic use was not available. Studies in non-White women and men are needed. CONCLUSION The risk of developing persistent tinnitus was not elevated among frequent low-dose aspirin users. Among younger women, frequent moderate-dose aspirin use was associated with higher risk. Frequent NSAID use and frequent acetaminophen use were associated with higher risk of incident persistent tinnitus among all women, and the magnitude of the risks tended to be greater with increasing frequency of use. Our results suggest analgesic users are at higher risk for developing tinnitus and may provide insight into the precipitants of this challenging disorder, but additional investigation to determine whether there is a causal association is needed.

Abstract
Infectious and inflammatory diseases are the most frequently diagnosed pathologies in elasmobranchs maintained under human care. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used in veterinary medicine for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. Meloxicam is a commonly prescribed NSAID in elasmobranchs, but there are still no published pharmacokinetic (PK) studies supporting its use in this group of animals. In this study, meloxicam was administered at a single dose of 0.5 mg/kg to eight healthy adult nursehound sharks (Scyliorhinus stellaris) intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), and orally (PO), with a minimum 4-week washout period between administrations. Blood samples were obtained both beforehand and at predetermined times after each administration. Plasma concentrations were measured using a validated high performance liquid chromatography method, and PK data was obtained using a non-compartmental analysis. Meloxicam administered orally did not produce detectable concentrations in blood plasma, while mean peak plasma concentration was 0.38 ± 0.08 μg/ml after IM administration. The mean terminal half-life was 10.71 ± 2.77 h and 11.27 ± 3.96 h for IV and IM injections, respectively. The area under the curve extrapolated to infinity was 11.37 ± 2.29 h·μg/ml after IV injections and 5.98 ± 0.90 h·μg/ml after IM injections. Meloxicam administered IM had a mean absolute bioavailability of 56.22 ± 13.29%. These numbers support meloxicam as a promising drug to be used IM in nursehounds, questions the efficacy of its single PO use in elasmobranchs, elucidate the need for higher dosage regimes, and evidence the need for further PK studies in sharks and rays.

Abstract
As the topical use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has gained popularity recently, adverse reactions related to their application have also become more common. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old man, who used etofenamate gel to treat leg pain. Following sun exposure, haemorrhagic, atypical lesions appeared and after rapid spread of the symptoms, the patient was hospitalized. In the area of the etofenamate application as well as on both legs, arms, trunk and face, confluent, erythematous sero-papules and macules were found, along with petechiae on the oral mucosa. Splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia accompanied the skin symptoms, which prompted an oncohematological workup, and the patient was diagnosed with hairy cell leukaemia. Epicutaneous testing (ET) was performed and found a positive reaction to etofenamate gel as well wood tar, propylen glycol, fragrance mix I, methylisothiazolinone, benzoic acid and balsam of Peru. The lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) and CD69 expression were negative for etofenamate. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(38): 1646-1651.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenylbutazone is commonly prescribed for treatment of various painful or inflammatory disorders in horses, but is associated with gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects. Anecdotally, many practitioners prescribe omeprazole concurrently with phenylbutazone to reduce development of equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS), but the efficacy and safety of this practice remains unknown. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of omeprazole on phenylbutazone-induced equine glandular gastric disease (EGGD) and equine squamous gastric disease (ESGD). STUDY DESIGN Randomised block experimental design. METHODS Twenty-two horses with EGGD and ESGD scores ≤2 were included. Horses were assigned to treatment groups: phenylbutazone (4.4 mg/kg PO q 12 h; PBZ), phenylbutazone plus omeprazole (4 mg/kg PO q. 24 h; PBZ/OME) or placebo (CON) in a randomised block design based upon initial EGGD score. Horses were treated for up to 14 days. Gastroscopy was performed weekly; CBC and biochemistry were performed at Day 0 and study end. Horses were monitored for signs of colic and/or diarrhoea. RESULTS EGGD score increased in PBZ (median change 1, inter-quartile range, [IQR], 0-2) compared to PBZ/OME (median change 0, IQR -1 to 0; P = .05). PBZ/OME (6/8) had more intestinal complications than CON (0/6; difference between proportions = 75%; 95% CI, 23%-93%; P = .03). Plasma protein concentrations decreased in PBZ, compared to CON (mean difference between groups, 14 g/L; 95% CI, 1.04-27; P = .03). Five horses were withdrawn from the study due to intestinal complications (n = 3 PBZ/OME and n = 2 PBZ); one horse (PBZ) was withdrawn due to severe grade 4 EGGD. MAIN LIMITATIONS Small sample size and changes in management for the 2-3 days prior to study initiation; variable treatment duration among groups due to development of complications. CONCLUSIONS Administration of omeprazole ameliorated PBZ-induced EGGD, but was associated with an increase in intestinal complications. Caution should be exercised when co-prescribing NSAIDs and omeprazole in horses, particularly in association with change in management.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Safe analgesic choices are limited in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We conducted a comparative analysis of harm from opioids versus nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in CKD. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 3,939 patients with CKD in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. EXPOSURES 30-day analgesic use reported at annual visits. OUTCOMES A composite outcome of 50% glomerular filtration rate reduction and kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT), as well as the outcomes of kidney failure requiring KRT, hospitalization, and pre-kidney failure death. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Marginal structural models with time-updated exposures. RESULTS Participants were followed up for a median of 6.84 years, with 391 (9.9%) and 612 (15.5%) reporting baseline opioid and NSAID use, respectively. Time-updated opioid use was associated with the kidney disease composite outcome, kidney failure with KRT, death (HRs of 1.4 [95% CI, 1.2-1.7], 1.4 [95% CI, 1.1-1.7], and 1.5 [95% CI, 1.2-2.0], respectively), and hospitalization (rate ratio [RR], 1.7; 95% CI, 1.6-1.9) versus opioid nonusers. Similar results were found in an analysis restricted to a subcohort of participants reporting ever using other (nonopioid and non-NSAID) analgesics or tramadol. Time-updated NSAID use was associated with increased risk for the kidney disease composite (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.5) and hospitalization (RR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0-1.3); however, these associations were not significant in the subcohort. The association of NSAID use with the kidney disease composite outcome varied by race, with a significant risk in blacks (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0-1.7). NSAID use was associated with lower risk for kidney failure with KRT in women and individuals with glomerular filtration rate<45mL/min/1.73m2 (HRs of 0.63 [95% CI, 0.45-0.88] and 0.77 [95% CI, 0.59-0.99], respectively). LIMITATIONS Limited periods of recall of analgesic use and potential confounding by indication. CONCLUSIONS Opioid use had a stronger association with adverse events than NSAIDs, with the latter's association with kidney disease outcomes limited to specific subgroups, notably those of black race.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy are cornerstones of ovarian cancer treatment, yet disease recurrence remains a significant clinical issue. Surgery can release cancer cells into the circulation, suppress anti-tumor immunity, and induce inflammatory responses that support the growth of residual disease. Intervention within the peri-operative window is an under-explored opportunity to mitigate these consequences of surgery and influence the course of metastatic disease to improve patient outcomes. One drug associated with improved survival in cancer patients is ketorolac. Ketorolac is a chiral molecule administered as a 1:1 racemic mixture of the S- and R-enantiomers. The S-enantiomer is considered the active component for its FDA indication in pain management with selective activity against cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. The R-enantiomer has a previously unrecognized activity as an inhibitor of Rac1 (Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate) and Cdc42 (cell division control protein 42) GTPases. Therefore, ketorolac differs from other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by functioning as two distinct pharmacologic entities due to the independent actions of each enantiomer. In this review, we summarize evidence supporting the benefits of ketorolac administration for ovarian cancer patients. We also discuss how simultaneous inhibition of these two distinct classes of targets, COX enzymes and Rac1/Cdc42, by S-ketorolac and R-ketorolac respectively, could each contribute to anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
This study was aimed to illustrate the pre- and post-treatment imaging findings of musculoskeletal desmoid tumours and describe current treatment methods. Imaging of histologically proven cases of desmoid tumours at St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, were obtained via picture archiving communication system (PACS) and then assessed by two musculoskeletal radiologists. Suitable imaging both pre- and post-treatment were then obtained from PACS. All imaging chosen were de-identified. Ninety-two patients were found to have histologically proven cases of desmoid tumours between January 2000 and December 2013. Six patients with extra-abdominal tumours were selected, where pre- and post-treatment imaging was available. Desmoid tumours can occur in many areas of the body. Treatment of desmoids are varied. Although wide-margin surgery has been the traditional form of treatment, it still cannot guarantee absence of tumour recurrence despite microscopically tumour-free margins. Other forms of treatment such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and also the conservative 'watch and wait' approach have been suggested, which show varying results.
