Ep. 117 | Morphine: The Dos, Don'ts, and Definitely Nots

from EPAGA University · host Inga Lake & Julie Brubaker

"Sandra was distraught. In addition to experiencing grief following her father’s death, she was haunted by fears that she had 'killed him' by agreeing to use morphine to control his pain near the end of his life. “He never woke up after we started the morphine. It was only a couple days until he died” (Today's Geriatric Medicine). The gut-reaction to the suggestion of morphine (in a controlled medical setting) is oftentimes negative. However, "Morphine is a standard, and often the best, medication for keeping terminally ill patients comfortable [. . .] Having a drug available to treat those symptoms is critical in keeping individuals comfortable” (Today's Geriatric Medicine). Join us this week as we discuss morphine, the advantages is may possess for terminally ill patients, how the drug works, and how to cultivate productive conversations about it with family members in a way that minimizes fear.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
