Alcohol and cannabinoids differentially affect HIV infection and function of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
During human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, alcohol has been known to induce inflammation while cannabinoids have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory role. For instance cannabinoids have been shown to reduce susceptibility to HIV-1 infection

Analytical Approaches to Address Challenges in the Analysis of Cannabinoids in Vascular Matrices Using Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phytocannabinoids are bioactive metabolites derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. They have garnered attention due to their recreational uses and therapeutic potential. Although various analytical strategies have been employed for their analysis, mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to chromatographic separation is superior due to its sensitivity ...

Modeling the Elastic Recovery of PET Bottles via a Free‐Blowing of Preforms Campaign

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
From free‐blown preforms to mechanical properties. ABSTRACT This study aims to quantify the elastic properties induced by biaxial stretching at different temperatures in order to simulate the complete process including the final elastic recovery. The elastic modulus is identified from geometric measurements obtained during free‐blowing experiments. PET

Integrating habitat suitability, socioeconomics, and infrastructure to assess global biological invasion risk under climate change: A case study of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...

Efficacy and Safety of Cannabis Derivates and Their Synthetic Analogs. Overview of Systematic Reviews

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of medicinal products derived from cannabis and its synthetic analogues has grown in recent years for various health conditions, which led to an increase in systematic reviews (SR) on the topic. The objective of this overview was to identify, synthesize, and critically appraise the evidence from SR on the benefits and harms of cannabis

A New Electrode Paradigm Enabled by Co‐Axial Electrospinning

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Co‐axial electrospinning creates fuel‐cell electrodes with a division of function: ionomer cores to conduct protons and tailored catalyst‐containing shells for electrochemical reactions. This separation allows a paradigm shift in materials design and functional properties for the core and shell ionomers, targeting chemistries to be tuned independently ...

Prevalence of novel psychoactive substances in selected clinical urine specimens submitted for drug monitoring

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are compounds emerging as alternatives to more established drugs of abuse. They are constantly changing and being modified, which makes their detection difficult. The study objective was to determine the prevalence of NPS in selected clinical specimens. Deidentified urine specimen remnants were analyzed that

Estimating thresholds for risk of cannabis use disorder using standard delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) units

open access: yesAddiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Lower risk guidelines for safer levels of cannabis use could help to reduce the health burden posed by cannabis use disorder (CUD). We aimed to estimate risk thresholds for CUD based on delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) consumption using standard THC units (1 unit = 5 mg THC).
