Newest firstBackground Cannabis use is increasingly common among collegiate athletes. While acute tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) effects are well documented, the chronic impact on game-speed cognition, defined as the ability to perceive, decide, and act within sub-second windows, remains poorly quantified. The current study examined whether chronic THC use degrades football specific game-speed cognition and reaction times. Method…
Open article record in new tab ↗The present study was focused on the experimental and machine learning approach to evaluate the diesel engine parameters behavior with hemp biodiesel blends enriched with nano additives (Al2O3, TiO2 and MWCNT's) at different loads. The Hemp biodiesel was characterized by using FTIR and GC-MS analysis. The nano additives were examined through a SEM and XRD analysis for identifying the morphological structure and cr…
This study was aimed at providing athletes a solution to replenish the muscle glycogen re-synthesis at an optimal rate with hemp seeds as a natural protein source and Bengal gram dal and its use for the preparation of gel. The gel contains the richest source of energy, and it is an effective way to provide energy and nutrients to athletes. The gel was prepared in three variations with different hemp seed concentra…
Open article record in new tab ↗Rationale Cannabidiol (CBD) is increasingly used as a sleep aid for insomnia; yet neurocognitive and subjective state effects following daily therapeutic use are unclear. Objectives To measure the effect of daily CBD use on neurocognitive performance and daily subjective mood in a population with primary insomnia. Methods This study used a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel design incorporating a single-blin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid which has been proposed to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Given the potential for perceptions of pain to limit exercise performance, the aim of the present study was to investigate if 3 weeks of daily CBD supplementation (150 mg day-1) improved performance in a 10-min performance-trial on a cycle ergometer. In a randomized, double-blind…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Rapid regeneration after intense exercise is essential for competitive athletes. Based on this assumption, supplementation strategies, focusing on food supplements, are increasing to improve the recovery processes. One such supplement is cannabidiol (CBD) which is gaining more attention in competitive sports. However, the evidence is still lacking and there are no data available about the effect of a sh…
Incorporating of agro-industrial co-products into animal nutrition could represent an opportunity to lessen the environmental impact of the food production chain. One such co-product is a hempseed cake originating from cold pressing hemp seeds to extract oil for human consumption. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the action of hempseed cake in the diet on male rabbit reproductive and some non-reproduct…
Open article record in new tab ↗Athlete performance and post-load recovery can be considered one of the most important and actively discussed topics in professional sport. One substance aimed at improving performance is cannabidiol (CBD), which has been actively gaining popularity with several studies published in recent years. The PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to April 2024 according to PRISMA recom…
In the current work, the performance properties of natural-fibre-based thermal insulation materials were examined. For this purpose, three different compositions of natural fibres were prepared: pure sheep wool (SW), wool and industrial hemp (SW/HF) fibres, and pure industrial hemp (HF) fibres. Low-melt bicomponent polylactide (PLA) fibres were used as a binding material. For specimens prepared from natural fibres…
IntroductionThe second iteration of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) has been widely adopted for predicting patient deterioration in healthcare settings using routinely collected physiological observations. The use of NEWS2 has been shown to reduce in-hospital mortality, but it has limited accuracy in the prediction of clinically important outcomes, especially over longer time periods. The increasing imple…
Open article record in new tab ↗In medical diagnosis context, consideration for missing diagnosis and false diagnosis of disease types are important clinical considerations for disease treatment decisions. Effect and impact of disease types especially on others forms the basis for critical clinical decisions. Impact and consequences varies across disease types especially for communicable and non-communicable diseases. Increasing use of predictiv…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background There is a lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of virtual simulators as a means to acquire hands-on exposure to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The present study aimed to assess the outcome and construct validity of virtual ERCP when training on the GI II Mentor simulator. Methods A group of seven experienced endoscopists were compared with 31 novices. After a short intro…
The need for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic mulches in agriculture has led to the development of various types of biodegradable mulches made from natural fibres and biopolymers to reduce environmental pollution and mitigate soil pollution caused by conventional plastic mulch usage. Degradation, impact on soil temperature and humidity, and weed suppression properties of needle-punched nonwoven mul…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Processes of redefinition of work, already in place in the pre-pandemic era, with the advent of COVID-19, have become widely required. A "model of work" that uses new technologies and the development of existing ones to improve workers' performance and satisfaction has emerged. Smart working has changed how people work and, as a result, spaces must also change to support them. The use of prefabricated…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe development of optimal strategies to treat impaired mobility related to ageing and chronic disease requires better ways to detect and measure it. Digital health technology, including body worn sensors, has the potential to directly and accurately capture real-world mobility. Mobilise-D consists of 34 partners from 13 countries who are working together to jointly develop and implement a digital mobili…
Cannabidiol supplements (CBD) are increasingly consumed by athletes to improve regeneration. However, the evidence for the pro-regenerative effects of CBD in sports is quite limited. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effects of a single CBD supplementation in a six-arm placebo-controlled crossover study after resistance training on performance and muscle damage. Before and after the resistance training, on…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Cannabis (marijuana) is undergoing extensive regulatory review in many global jurisdictions for medical and nonmedical access. Cannabis has potential impact on the health of athletes as well as on performance in both training and in competition. The aim of this general review is to identify and highlight the challenges in interpreting information with respect to elite athletic performance, and to point t…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study was conducted to determine the effects of hempseed (H) on performance, carcass traits, and antioxidant activity in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 192 quail with seven-days old were divided into four experimental groups with four replicates. The treatments were; i) Control diet (C, no hempseed); ii) 5% hempseed in diet (H5); iii) 10% hempseed in diet (H10); and iv) 20% hempseed i…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionPrevious research has shown that heavy cannabis users develop tolerance to the impairing effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on neurocognitive functions. Animal studies suggest that chronic cannabis consumption may also produce cross-tolerance for the impairing effects of alcohol, but supportive data in humans is scarce.PurposeThe present study was designed to assess tolerance and cross-tolerance…
