Past-month alcohol and nicotine use is most common during the first trimester of pregnancy , during which time women may not realize that they are pregnant. Although healthcare systems are well poised to screen women of reproductive age for substance use, it is challenging to predict which women are at risk for using nicotine and…

The observed high correlation of alcohol and marijuana use may be due to a shared genetic risk for drug use
The availability of these services may have been especially important among SGM participants within our study population, as previous studies have shown that SGM youth experiencing homelessness are more likely to utilize service programs, such as STI and HIV testing, food access, street outreach teams, and counseling services compared to their heterosexual cisgender peers. Though…
Human immunodeficiency virus infection is often accompanied by chronic fatigue and disrupted sleep patterns
As such, these results reflect self-reported symptoms, and the extent to which they generalize to psychiatric diagnoses is unclear. Future work utilizing structured clinical interviews are warranted to identify diagnoses associated with conventional and ecigarette use. This is first the investigation to characterize adolescent psychiatric comorbidity in an era when the extensive popularity of e-cigarettes…
The logistic regression model used to simulate the probabilities of BLQ concentrations found that TAD was significant
Two key modifications were made to the published model based on information presented by Bansal et al.. First, the percent contributions of cytochrome P450 and UGT enzymes to CBD clearance were redefined as 20% and 80%, respectively, based on updated in vitro human liver microsome studies. Second, UGT1A7 was removed as an important contributing enzyme…
The executive network is the brain circuit used when not daydreaming but instead attending to the outside world
There are two G protein-coupled ECB receptors . CBR1 receptors are highly expressed on presynaptic neurons in the brain, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglion. CBR2 receptors are primarily expressed in immune cells . AEA maintains basal endocannabinoid tone and has a high selectivity for the CBR1 receptor over the peripheral CBR2 receptor. The CBR1 receptor…
Marijuana was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse Drug Supply Program
However, this finding contrasts with work showing that less frequent drug use was associated with lower expenditure of money earned through participating in a job training program . An important distinction in our study: Providing a MA-negative sample yielded payment, whereas in the Subramaniam et al.’s study, participants earned money in an account at an hourly…
It is important to consider the implications associated with imputing or replacing missing data
All these clinical scenarios are suggested to contribute to the high number of missing data, and as can be seen in further analyses, seems to be missing at random. Furthermore, when alcohol screen result was missing, mean total GCS was 14.13 compared to 12.38 when alcohol was present. This difference is indicative that the data…
Risk of bias in terms of selection and information was determined for each study
The literature search yielded 939 studies . After duplicates were removed, 710 records remained; studies were then eliminated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria as mentioned above. A total of 31 studies were excluded based on the following sub-categories: nine studies were excluded because they were case reports, 1 because it was a book…
A larger sample may clarify whether HIV+ and HIVgroups differ in the association between TES and cognitive function
We used Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons with alpha set at 0.008 for each comparison of two TES components. We used continuous and not dichotomous versions of our trauma, SES, and stress variables in post-hoc analyses to more precisely examine the contribution of each variable by utilizing the full range of variability in each of the…
The WEA organized the referendum against the legislation and won support from key Democratic lawmakers
My analysis builds on prior data collection efforts using IRS 990 forms from Reckhow and Snyder and Ferrare and Setari . Reckhow and Snyder collected grant-making data from the 15 largest foundations by K-12 education spending in 2000, 2005, and 2010, and coded the data by type of recipient organization. Ferrare and Setari also collected grant-making…
