Unfolding role of erector spinae plane block for the management of chronic cancer pain in the palliative care unit
Prashant Sirohiya, Pratishtha Yadav, Sachidanand Jee Bharati, Bhatnagar SushmaIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):142-144
Pain adversely affects the quality of life in cancer patients. Although conventional oral analgesics and co-analgesics manage 80%–90% of pain, interventional pain management techniques may be useful in the management of cancer pain refractory to opioid analgesia or in patients unable to tolerate systemic opioids. Herein, we report three cases depicting the successful role of erector spinae plane block in our palliative care unit for the management of differen...

Ultrasound-guided glossopharyngeal nerve block at pharyngeal wall level in a patient with carcinoma tongue
Prashant Sirohiya, Vinod Kumar, Pratishtha Yadav, Sachidanand Jee BhartiIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):140-141
Glossopharyngeal nerve (GPN) block is used for pain management in patients' head and neck malignancy. The GPN is a mixed nerve containing both motor and sensory fibers. The usual approaches for GPN blocks are usually topical, intraoral, or peristyloid. Topical anesthesia may be difficult in patients with limited mouth opening or when there is inflammation in the area of interest. Intraoral and peristyloid approaches have risk of inadvertent neurovascular injection. The intraoral technique...

Cannabinoids as an alternative option for conventional analgesics in cancer pain management: A pharmacogenomics perspective
Anmi Jose, Levin Thomas, Gayathri Baburaj, Murali Munisamy, Mahadev RaoIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):129-133
The global cancer burden is significantly increasing at an alarming rate affecting patients, relatives, communities, and health-care system. Cancer patients require adequate pain relief and palliative care throughout the life course, especially in terminal illness. Although opioid treatment is successful in majority of patients, around 40% do not achieve enough analgesia or are prone to serious side effects and toxicity. The treatment of medical conditions with cannabis and cannabinoid com...

Beyond numbers & #8211; Recent understanding of emotional needs of persons diagnosed with cancer 2007 & #8211;2018
Annie Alexander, K Sreenath, R Srinivasa MurthyIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):120-128
Epidemiology is a vital tool of public health. The usefulness of epidemiology is not only about numbers of persons' ill in the community but also to understand the associations, the presentation, identification of new syndromes, to map the historical trends, and calculate morbid risk. The emotional impact of the diagnosis of cancer is well-recognized. Indian cancer research relating to the psychosocial aspects has been largely limited to counting the numbers with psychiatric syndromes. The review covers 12 years ...

Rural elderly and access to palliative care: A public health perspective
Abhijeet Vasant JadhavIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):116-119
In near future, the elderly population will increase to a high proportion. This will increase the burden of Age-Related Diseases (ARDs) to a significant level. Most of the ARDs need palliative care (PC) for a fairly long duration. Some statistical extrapolations are discussed to help in identifying this future burden. The existing PC centers are limited in numbers, situated mainly in urban areas, and mostly attached to cancer hospitals. Socioeconomic vulnerabilities of the elderly, especially in rural areas, are high, and access to health is also n...

Oral microbiological evidence among palliative patients: An integrated systematic review
Jagjit Singh Dhaliwal, Zaidah Rizidah Murang, Divya Thirumalai Rajam Ramasamy, Munikumar Ramasamy VenkatasaluIndian Journal of Palliative Care 2020 26(1):110-115
Life-limiting diseases such as cancers and its related treatments often compromise normal oral microbial flora and predispose a palliative patient to diverse oral infections. Knowledge on microbial flora in the oral cavity of patients with life-limiting diseases is essential to develop treatment options for clinical practitioners. This review aimed to systematically synthesize the published evidence on the oral microbiology of palliative patients. An integrative ...
