Identification of Anti-Neuroinflammatory Bioactive Compounds in Essential Oils and Aqueous Distillation Residues Obtained from Commercial Varieties of Cannabis sativa L.

Abstract Neuroinflammation, which is mainly triggered by microglia, is a key contributor to multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Natural products, and in particular Cannabis sativa L., due to its richness in phytochemical components, represent ideal candidates to counteract neuroinflammation. We previously characterized different C. sativa commercial varieties which showed significantly different chemical profiles. On these bases, the aim of this study was to evaluate essential oils and aqueous distillation residues from the inflorescences of three different hemp varieties for their anti-neuroinflammatory activity in BV-2 microglial cells. Cells were pretreated with aqueous residues or essential oils and then activated with LPS. Unlike essential oils, aqueous residues showed negligible effects in terms...

Neonatal outcomes associated with in utero cannabis exposure: a population-based retrospective cohort study

Please use this link to access this publication: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937823020343 Abstract Background The full spectrum of associations between in utero cannabis exposure and adverse neonatal outcomes is still unclear. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the associations between in utero cannabis exposure and neonatal outcomes. Study Design This population-based retrospective cohort study of singleton births among Kaiser Permanente Northern California members (January 1, 2011–July 31, 2020) included parent–infant dyads in which the pregnant parent was screened for cannabis use as part of standard prenatal care, generally upon entrance into care. Data were ascertained from electronic health records. Generalized estimating equation models were adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, other non-cannabis prenatal substance use, medical and...

Unraveling the Link: Cannabis Use Disorder and Pulmonary Embolism-Related Hospital Outcomes in Female Breast Cancer Survivors

Please use this link to access this publication: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006497123139188 Abstract Background: The use of cannabis in cancer patients has gained significant attention due to its analgesic properties, which help alleviate cancer-related pain. Studies have also shown the interference of cannabis with the coagulation system. We aimed to study the impact of cannabis use disorder (CUD) and Pulmonary embolism (PE) on outcomes in female breast cancer survivors, considering reports suggesting significant overlap between recreational and medicinal use. Our objective was to compare outcomes in CUD+ (with cannabis use disorder) and CUD- (without cannabis use disorder) cohorts to gain critical insights into this group and understand the...

Therapeutic use of medical Cannabis in neurological diseases: a clinical update

Abstract The use of medical Cannabis has increased in recent years due to changing legal circumstances in many countries. Approval exists only for a few neurological conditions such as rare forms of epilepsy or spasticity in multiple sclerosis. Beyond that, however, medical Cannabis is used for a wide range of neurological conditions and symptoms. In Germany, in parallel with new legislation that has simplified the prescription of medical Cannabis, an accompanying survey has been implemented for which initial data are now available. In this context, our review provides an overview of the evidence for the therapeutic use of medical Cannabis in neurology, the potential benefits, and side effects.

Mental health adverse events with cannabis use diagnosed in the Emergency Department: what are we finding now and are our findings accurate?

Abstract We have previously reviewed the types and numbers of cannabis-associated adverse events that have mental health presentations that are encountered in the Emergency Department. A particular challenge in examining these events is disentangling cannabis use adverse events from adverse events associated with use of multiple recreational substances. Since that review was published, cannabis legalization for recreational use has greatly expanded world-wide and with these changes in the legal climate has come clearer information around the frequency of adverse events seen in the Emergency Department. However, as we examined the current state of the literature, we also examined some of research designs and the...

The relationship between cannabis use, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder: a genetically informed study

Please use this link to access this publication: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(23)00143-8/fulltext Summary Background The relationship between psychotic disorders and cannabis use is heavily debated. Shared underlying genetic risk is one potential explanation. We investigated the genetic association between psychotic disorders (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) and cannabis phenotypes (lifetime cannabis use and cannabis use disorder). Methods We used genome-wide association summary statistics from individuals with European ancestry from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, UK Biobank, and International Cannabis Consortium. We estimated heritability, polygenicity, and discoverability of each phenotype. We performed genome-wide and local genetic correlations. Shared loci were identified and mapped to genes, which were tested for functional enrichment....

Subjective, behavioral and neurobiological effects of cannabis and cannabinoids in social anxiety

Please use this link to access this publication: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/revneuro-2023-0078/html Abstract Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating disorder, characterized by fear and anxiety in social situations. Evidence suggests that the levels of SAD are rising, in particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors and cognitive-behavioral therapy are effective treatments for SAD. Nevertheless, a significant number of patients do not respond well to these therapeutic options. During the last years, Cannabis and cannabinoid-containing products have been investigated for the treatment of different neuropsychiatric disorders. Nevertheless, their efficacy for the treatment of anxiety disorders is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this review was...

Cannabis sativa-based oils against aluminum-induced neurotoxicity

Abstract The use of terpenoid compounds in different neural-related conditions is becoming useful for several illnesses. Another possible activity of these compounds is the reduction of nervous impairment. Cannabis sativa plants are known for their concentration of two important terpenoids, the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). CBD and THC have central peripheral activities already described and their usage in different brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. Aluminum (Al) is known as an important neurotoxic compound, the physiological action of Al is not known already, and in high concentrations can lead to intoxication and cause neurotoxicity. Here we evaluated the potential effect of two different...

Weight loss outcomes are not compromised in bariatric patients using cannabis

Please use this link to access this publication: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00464-022-09453-x Abstract Background The legalization of cannabis in several states has led to increased documented use in the population. Bariatric surgery patients are no exception with estimates of anywhere from 6 to 8%. Cannabis is known to be associated with increased appetite, mood disorders, hyperphagia, and rarely, hyperemesis, which can potentially affect post-surgical weight loss. We aim to study the differences in bariatric surgery outcomes between cannabis users and non-users. Methods A retrospective review identified patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Patients were divided into two groups, cannabis users (CU) and non-cannabis users (non-CU). Cannabis users (defined as using...
