$15.00
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a group of degenerative brain disorders causing progressive deterioration in behavior, language, and/or movement. There are presently approximately 60,000 people with FTD in the United States. Onset generally occurs between 50 and 70 years of age, making FTD one of the most common presenile dementias. FTD affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control emotions, judgment, personality, memory and language. The clinical diagnosis of FTD can be challenging, as some symptoms overlap with Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia.

Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) present specific challenges for the clinician, particularly if they also suffer from pain, either acute or chronic. This activity outlines the diagnosis of OUD and reviews pain management options including non-opioid therapies and buprenorphine/naloxone, as well as the use of urine drug tests and referral to a treatment center. Through a longitudinal case example, this activity will illustrate examples of counseling for patients with OUD and pain.

Morphine and heroin were first synthesized and used medicinally in the nineteenth century, and recreational and illicit use followed. Historically, heroin dependence has been difficult to treat successfully, with poor outcome being attributed to patient characteristics, environmental factors, and the powerful reinforcing effects of the drug. Agonist-replacement therapy was introduced more than 40 years ago and represented a breakthrough in the management of heroin addiction.
