Effect of chronic opioid therapy on pain and survival in a humanized mouse model of sickle cell disease
The use of opioid analgesics in patients with sickle cell disease who develop painful crises is an unfortunate reality. Gupta and colleagues explore the impact of opioids on the survival of humanized mice with this disorder, resulting in important differences as compared to normal mice. Their findin...
