Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Efficacy and safety of nebulized morphine given at 2 different doses compared to intravenous titrated morphine in trauma pain.
Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) titrated morphine with nebulized morphine given at 2 different doses in severe traumatic pain. ⋯ Nebulized morphine using boluses of 10 mg has similar efficacy and better safety than IV titrated morphine in patients with severe posttraumatic pain. Increasing nebulized boluses to 20 mg increases the effectiveness without increasing side effects.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Association between time to percutaneous coronary intervention and hospital mortality in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a prospective multicenter observational study.
This study aimed to investigate the association between time to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and hospital mortality in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). ⋯ Percutaneous coronary intervention earlier than 6 hours after ED presentation was associated with higher hospital mortality than PCI 6 hours later in NSTEMI. However, the effect disappeared in the long S2D group.
