Medicinal cannabis has been trialled for Tourette syndrome in adults, but it has not been studied in adolescents. This open-label, single-arm trial study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability and signal of efficacy of medicinal cannabis in adolescents (12-18 years), using a Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol:cannabidiol ratio of 10:15, with dose varying from 5 to 20 mg/day based on body weight and response. The study demonstrated feasibility of recruitment, acceptability of study procedures, potential b

This study explores the complex relationship between addiction and well-being among youth by examining social, behavioral, and economic factors. It aims to identify the key determinants influencing addiction and their impact on young individuals’ physical, mental, and social well-being. Utilizing a dataset including variables such as social isolation, academic decline, financial issues, and mental and physical health problems, the study applies correlation analysis and hierarchical clustering te
Researchers have found considerable evidence in the past 20 years that perinatal opioid exposure leads to an increased risk of developmental disorders in offspring that persist into adulthood. The use of opioids to treat pain concerning pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum complications has been rising. As a result, communities have reported a 300-400 % increase in Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). NOWS represents the initial stage of several behavioral, phenotypic, and synaptic deficit
Marijuana use is on the rise in the United States, with 18-29-year-old people being the most likely age group to indulge in the illegal drug’s use (Hrynowski, 2019). Similarly, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has increased in recent decades for those aged 18 and older (Goodwin et al., 2020). Little research has been conducted to establish a link between these two trends of growth, although researchers have tested THC doses in animals, which proved to elicit anxiety-related responses (Sharpe e
Psychotropic medication is commonly used for the treatment of mental health conditions. However, the genetic factors that influence psychotropic medication responses in children have not been thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, a systematic review and thematic analysis were conducted to examine the genetic impact of psychotropic medication response in children. The Down and Blacks and Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) checklists assessed the quality o

Abstract Following the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, various reports suggest that there has been a significant increase in substance abuse due to social distancing and related issues. Several reports have suggested the impact of chronic substance use on individuals’ physiological and psychological health. Therefore, there is a need to know the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on persons with substance use disorders. Individuals with substance use disorders are the most vulnerable groups and are at a high risk of
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease in which progressive memory loss occurs and presents cognitive symptoms. Currently, the number of studies with Cannabidiol as a treatment alternative for Alzheimer's disease is growing due to its neuroprotective factor. Research indicates that cannabidiol has the ability to control microglial and neuroinflammation function, favoring the survival rate of cells by combining its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, which act
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold>Endometriosis causes significant personal and societal burden. Despite this, research funding lags behind other chronic conditions and therefore determining where to prioritise these limited funds is vital. Research priorities may differ between affected individuals and clinicians/researchers. The aim of this research project is to explore research priorities and determinants of endometriosis research from the perspective of people with endometrios
Today, more than 70 million people around the world suffer from autism, and scientists around the world are working hard to invest in research into autism treatment, hoping to identify the possibility of a cure among the various attempts. At present, there are a large number of studies on various treatment options for autism, but not many summaries of the studies. Due to the complex causes of autism, this research only summarizes some of the therapeutic and training programs that have made progr
Five years after the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is still a significant number of people who have survived COVID-19 but never fully recovered from the disease. They go through an odyssey of doctor visits and a multitude of diagnostic tests, which ultimately do not provide concrete correlations and answers to the question of how exactly long COVID (LC) affects both physical and mental health, and performance. Often, not even highly technical and highly spec
Cannabis A Novel (Old) Herbal with many applications, the dried leaves to be used for medicinal purposes is derived from the hemp plant marijuana and has been considered a wonder weapon in all diseases. purpose of this review is to look at the current scientific literature on marijuana and its overall effects in different medical areas (neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, pain management/cancer-related symptoms/cardiovascular/metabolic diseases). While we know that compounds like THC
A possible correlation between neurologic AEs and polymorphisms of <i>DOP2</i> was observed; therefore, studying this gene could contribute to the safety of this population's prescriptions. The following studies are underway to maximize statistical power and have a better representation of the population.
Pain management is a critical aspect of healthcare, encompassing a broad spectrum of therapeutic strategies designed to alleviate suffering, improve quality of life, and restore functional capacity. This review explores the current landscape of pain management, focusing on the latest advancements, emerging therapies, and multi-disciplinary approaches to treatment. Pain can be classified into acute and chronic, with the latter being particularly complex due to its multifactorial nature, often inv
Abstract The purpose of the work was to evaluate the effect of buspirone (BUS) on social isolation induced anger, aggression and suicidal tendencies in rats. The male Wistar rats were randomized in 6 groups (n = 6) and caged individually for 14 days to elicit anger and aggression. They were then divided into the following groups vehicle control (no isolation), Stress control (SC), fluoxetine (Flx; 30 mg/kg, p.o), BUS (10 mg/kg, p.o), BUS (20 mg/kg, p.o), BUS (40 mg/kg, p.o). All treatments were

Background: Medical cannabis is available to patients by physician order in two-thirds of the United States (U.S.) as of 2020, but remains classified as an illicit substance by federal law. States that permit medical cannabis ordered by a physician typically require a diagnosed medical condition that is considered qualifying by respective state law. Objectives: To identify and map the most recently (2016-2019) published clinical and scientific literature across approved conditions for medical ca
