Newest firstIntroduction: Snakebite envenoming is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neglected public health issue, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Since some victims of snake bites have been reported to use Cannabis sativa to fight snakebite envenoming, the objective of this study was to examine the impact of this herb on the lethal effects of Naja naja oxiana cobra venom in mice.Materia…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aims The study aimed to explore the sustainable synthesis of metal nanoparticles using a green and eco-friendly resource. Specifically, it investigated the utilization of Cannabis sativa waste extract for the production of gold and silver nanoparticles, focusing on their antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, which are significant in nosocomial infection…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background and objectives Cannabis consumption is increasing in both the recreational and medical settings. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is known to produce cardiovascular effects, but the specific roles of THC and its metabolites THC-OH and THC-COOH in cannabinoid-induced cardiovascular effects remain unclear. We hypothesized that THC and THC-OH mediate a cannabinoid-induced increase in heart rate in either an addi…
Off-notes in plant-based sources of protein are mainly formed via the lipid oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. During gas chromatography-olfactometry analysis of pea protein isolate, previously uncharacterized old soap odors were detected. These were found to arise from a family of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes formed from the aldol condensation of pentanal and hexanal during the protein extraction process. These c…
In Italy, the law on road homicide (Law no. 41/2016) introduced specific provisions for drivers who cause severe injuries or death to a person due to the violation of the Highway Code. The use of alcohol or drugs while driving constitutes an aggravating circumstance of the offence and provides for a tightening of penalties. Our study aims to report on the analysis performed on blood samples collected between Janua…
Importance Adolescent cannabis use is a substantial public health concern given its associations with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Understanding how distinct use patterns are associated with medical care utilization in young adulthood is critical for prevention. Objective To examine the association between patterns of adolescent cannabis use and medical care utilization for mental and physical heal…
Background/Objectives: This study examined the specific vulnerabilities and experiences of persons with disabilities (PwDs) regarding sexual violence (SV) in Belgium. Methods: Data were drawn from the nationally representative UN-MENAMAIS survey (n = 4944), which included adults aged 16-99 years. SV was assessed using behaviourally specific questions based on validated international instruments. Logistic regressio…
Open article record in new tab ↗Traumatic brain injury is a global health crisis, causing significant death and disability worldwide. Neuroinflammation that follows traumatic brain injury has serious consequences for neuronal survival and cognitive impairments, with astrocytes involved in this response. Following traumatic brain injury, astrocytes rapidly become reactive, and astrogliosis propagates from the injury core to distant brain regions.…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa root has traditionally been used to relieve pain and inflammation, but its pharmacological properties remain underexplored due to low levels of psychoactive cannabinoids. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the ethyl acetate fraction of Cannabis sativa root (CSREA) using in vivo rodent pain models. Mice were subjected to formalin and acetic acid-indu…
The link between sedentary behavior and substance use is drawing increased attention, especially as marijuana use becomes more prevalent in the U.S. studies suggest that excessive sedentary behavior negatively impacts health, and this research aims to explore its relationship with marijuana use to better understand its potential health implications. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 7122 participants i…
The agri-food supply chain and other industries that convert agricultural raw materials into various consumer goods generate large quantities of by-products, most of which end up in landfills. This waste, rich in cellulose, provides a significant opportunity for the conversion of agricultural residues into valuable products. In this paper, soybean hulls and hemp waste were subjected to chemical treatments with alk…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background This paper compares risk profiles for cannabis use among large samples of youth in the school years preceding (2017-18, T1) and four years following (2021-22, T2) cannabis legalization in Canada. Methods COMPASS Study data from students across 85 secondary schools that participated in both the T1 and T2 waves were used. A novel classification tree approach examined current cannabis use (past 30-day), mo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Adolescence is a developmental period characterised by increased vulnerability to cannabis use disorder (CUD). However, previous investigations of this vulnerability have relied on cross-sectional comparisons and lack a detailed assessment of cannabis quantity, a potentially important confounding factor. Here, we aimed to investigate the one-year course of CUD in adolescents compared to adults who currently use ca…
Purpose Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major clinical marker used to diagnose glaucoma and monitor its treatment. Marijuana use can confound IOP measurements by temporarily lowering the IOP, potentially leading to missed diagnoses of glaucoma or a false sense of effective treatment. Therefore, factors that may affect diagnosis or treatment of glaucoma need to be characterized and considered. We aim to assess the…

Open article record in new tab ↗The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) has been extensively validated using Classical Test Theory, mostly relying on factor analytic methods among adult samples. The current study used Item Response Theory to validate SWLS among a sample of early adolescents in California and examine associations between SWLS and tobacco and cannabis use. Data were collected from ninth-grade students (N = 2552) attending 10 publi…
Suicide by ligature strangulation/hanging inside vehicles is uncommon, and only few cases have been reported in the literature. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of reported cases of suicide by ligature strangulation/hanging inside vehicles, analyzing the features of the death scene, of the ligature and furrow, autopsy findings, and causes of death. The comprehensive review was performed following…
Objective Despite increased recreational cannabis legalization (RCL) in the US in recent years, little is known about cannabis advice received at prenatal care visits. We aimed to examine cannabis screening and counseling occurring at prenatal care visits, including adherence of advice to current clinical guidelines and variations by RCL status. Methods In this repeated cross-sectional study, we used 2017-2020 Pre…

Despite standard treatments, survival remains only approximately 14 months. Cannabinoids have been increasingly investigated for their therapeutic potential in gliomas, particularly GBM. Although mul…
