Genetic differences in two morphine-related gene sequences, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) and mu opioid receptors (MOR1), in two cancer patients whose clinical responses to morphine were very different are presented.

It is concluded that ApEn measurement can be useful to estimate sleep stages and the complexity in brain activity and the ApEn values were found to differ with statistical significance among the six different stages of consciousness.
