Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the acclaimed Meyler's Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the practicing biomedical researcher and/or clinician.

Opioids and analgesics are members of a diverse group of drugs used to relieve pain. They are frequently used in combination with prescription and nonprescription pain relievers, and misuse is prevalent. Pain medicine specialists and most physicians or surgeons will find this volume useful in prescribing the appropriate drugs for pain therapy and for preventing misuse of the medication.

* The only drug guide that includes clinical case studies and expert analysis
* Features not only analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, but also all other drugs that act in an analgesic or anti-inflammatory manner
* Most complete cross referencing of drug-drug interactions available
* Latest content from the most highly-regarded compilation of drug side effects: Side Effects of Drugs Annual serial

Murmurs of aortic regurgitation

Epidural hematoma in CT

 Epidural hemoatomas (EDH) are almost always preceded by head trauma (as child hit in the side of head with football.And may have a "lucid interval" where he looks okay).

Epidural hemoatoma has a higher mortality than a subdural, because obviously this is an ARTERY. And so will be under high pressure- forming that "biconcave" appearence on CT.
The most common site of EDH is the temporoparietal region, where the middle meningeal arteryis lacerated.

CT Findings:

* Typical appearance is a biconvex, elliptical, extra-axial fluid collections.
* Acute EDH may contain both a hyperattenuating clot and a swirling lucency (believed to represent a mixture of active bleeding and the serum remaining after previous clot formation).
* Subacute EDH becomes homogeneously hyperattenuating.
* Chronic EDH is at least partly hypoattenuating as the clot undergoes breakdown and resorption.

Cardiovascular effects of Squatting position

Squatting has which of the following cardiovascular effects?

• a.It decreases ventricular filling
• b.It increases the murmur of aortic insufficiency
• c.It decreases the murmur of mitral regurgitation
• d.It decreases the murmur of ventricular septal defect
• e.It has the opposite effect of passive leg raising
• f.It has the same effect as amyl nitrite

The answer is : (b).
Squatting like passive legraising are act to increase ventricular filling. Therefore, they increase blood flow through the heart and increase the murmurs of ech of following : aortic insufficiency, ventricular septal defect, and mitral regurgitation. The hypotensive inhalation agent amyl nitrite decreases the murmurs of AI, VSD, and MR.
