Abstract
The website http://www.palliativedrugs.com has provided essential independent information about drugs used in palliative and hospice care for over a decade, and has over 30 000 members from 169 Countries. It contains the on-line Palliative Care Formulary (PCF) and provides free access to a Bulletin board to stimulate questions and share experiences, a Document library containing 475 items of useful information and a Syringe Driver Survey Database containing details of over 2350 different drug combinations. Territory-specific book versions (the UK Palliative Care Formulary 5th edition, Hospice and Palliative Care Formulary USA 2nd edition and Palliative Care Formulary Canadian edition) a PDF version of the PCF and subscription to the continually updated on-line PCF can also be purchased via the website. This feature provides a selection of items that have featured in the News and Latest additions sections in recent months; for additional information, please register for free on the website . ### Further measures to minimise risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw with denosumab and intravenous bisphosphonates Following a review by UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and other European regulators, denosumab 120 mg is now contraindicated in patients with unhealed lesions from dental or oral surgery. New patient reminder cards are also to be given to those receiving denosumab or intravenous bisphosphonates informing them of the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw and precautions to take before and during treatment. ### Guideline consultations UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has recently published draft guideline consultations for:
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
