Nanoparticle Drones to Target Lung Cancer with Radiosensitizers and Cannabinoids

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Nanotechnology has opened up a new, previously unimaginable world in cancer diagnosis and therapy, leading to the emergence of cancer nanomedicine and nanoparticle-aided radiotherapy. Inhalation (INH) (air) versus traditional intravenous (“sea”) routes of navigating physiological barriers using such drones is assessed. Results and analysis suggest that INH route may offer more promise for targeting tumor cells with radiosensitizers and cannabinoids from the perspective of maximizing damage to lung tumors cells while minimizing any collateral damage or side effects

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that can cause cognition, mobility, and sensory impairments. It is considered one of the most common non-traumatic causes of disability in the world. The aim of the present article was to review the clinical evidence related to medicinal plants in the management of MS symptoms.

Daily cannabis and reduced risk of steatosis in human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus co-infected patients (ANRS CO13-HEPAVIH)

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Liver steatosis is common in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) co-infected patients. Some recent studies have found that cannabis use is negatively associated with insulin resistance in the general population and in HIV-HCV co-infected patients. Given the causal link between insulin resistance and steatosis, we hypothesised that cannabis use has a positive impact on steatosis.

Review of the current literature suggests states that implement MC policies could reduce POM-associated mortality, improve pain management, and significantly reduce health care costs. However, MC research is constrained by federal policy restrictions, and more research related to MC as a potential alternative to POM for pain management, MC harms, and its impact on POM-related harms and health care costs should be a priority of public health, medical, and nursing research.

The Current Landscape of Marijuana and Pharmacogenetics

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

The treatment of medical conditions with cannabis and cannabinoid compounds is advancing. Although there are numerous reports related to the genetic variations of the cannabinoid receptor, a lack of studies that examine the relationship between other pharmacogenetic markers and health outcomes currently exists. Legalisation of marijuana is needed in order to perform more randomised controlled trials to help elucidate the role of other pharmacogenetic targets and cannabis for use in clinical practice.

Is cannabis an effective treatment for joint pain?

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Cannabis has been used to treat pain for thousands of years. However, since the early part of the 20th century, laws restricting cannabis use have limited its evaluation using modern scientific criteria. Over the last decade, the situation has started to change because of the increased availability of cannabis in the United States and many other countries for either medical or recreational purposes. The preclinical and human data that do exist indicate that the use of cannabis should be taken seriously as a potential treatment of joint pain.

Differences in behavioural health disorders and unmet treatment needs between medical marijuana users and recreational marijuana users: Results from a national adult sample

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

Available data suggest that medical marijuana users may have more mental health problems than recreational marijuana users. There is limited information about differences in behavioural health disorders and unmet treatment needs between medical and recreational marijuana users. Different approaches tailored to individuals’ sex and motives for marijuana use is needed for the prevention and treatment of behavioural health problems

A Review of the Therapeutic Antitumor Potential of Cannabinoids

Canna Clinical TrialsLeave a comment

The aim of this review is to discuss cannabinoids from a preclinical and clinical oncological perspective and provide the audience with a concise, retrospective overview of the most significant findings concerning the potential use of cannabinoids in cancer treatment.Further studies require extensive monitoring of the effects of cannabinoids alone or in combination with standard anticancer strategies. With such knowledge, cannabinoids could become a therapy of choice in contemporary oncology.
