Newest firstBackground The main causes of death in avalanche victims are asphyxia, trauma, and hypothermia. However, most evidence is based on epidemiological studies with inconsistent forensic data. We aimed to integrate current evidence on causes of death and types of injuries in avalanche victims undergoing postmortem examination. Methods We conducted a scoping review of studies reporting forensic data on avalanche-related…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) affects 18.6%-59% of persons with Parkinson disease (PD), and recent studies provide evidence that oral cannabidiol (CBD) therapy could reduce sebum production in addition to improving motor and psychiatric symptoms in PD. Therefore, oral CBD could be useful for improving symptoms of both commonly co-occurring conditions. Objective This study investigates whether oral CBD ther…
Open article record in new tab ↗Extrapyramidal (EP) symptoms are a known feature in a subpopulation of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Concomitant EP symptoms with FTD-like neuropsychiatric symptoms are also core features in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). This complicates the early diagnosis of these disorders. Our retrospective register study aimed to discover imaging…
Intake of synthetic cannabinoids (SC), one of the largest classes of new psychoactive substances, was reported to be associated with acute liver damage but information about their hepatotoxic potential is limited. The current study aimed to analyze the hepatotoxicity including the metabolism-related impact of JWH-200, A-796260, and 5F-EMB-PINACA in HepG2 cells allowing a tentative assessment of different SC subcla…
Open article record in new tab ↗In light of legislative changes and the widespread use of cannabis as a recreational and medicinal drug, delayed effects of cannabis upon brief exposure during embryonic development are of high interest as early pregnancies often go undetected. Here, zebrafish embryos were exposed to cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) until the end of gastrulation (1-10 h post-fertilization) and analyzed later in…
The cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), is part of the plant's natural defense system that when given to animals has many useful medicinal properties, including activity against cancer cells, modulation of the immune system, and efficacy in epilepsy. Although there is no consensus on its precise mode of action as it affects many cellular targets, CBD does appear to influence mitochondrial function. This would suggest…
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has been widely used in clinical practice, and recently developed compressed-sensing accelerated MRCP (CS-MRCP) has shown great potential in shortening the acquisition time. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical feasibility and image quality of optimized breath-hold CS-MRCP (BH-CS-MRCP) and conventional navigator-triggered MRCP. Data f…
Open article record in new tab ↗There is evidence that long-term cannabis use is associated with alterations to glutamate neurotransmission and glial function. In this study, 26 long-term cannabis users (males=65.4%) and 47 non-cannabis using healthy controls (males=44.6%) underwent proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in order to characterize neurometabolite alterations in cannabis users and to…
