, also known as "hemp" or "weed," is a versatile plant with various uses in medicine, agriculture, food, and cosmetics. This review attempts to evaluate the available literature on the ecology, chemical composition, phytochemistry, pharmacology, traditional uses, industrial uses, and toxicology of . So far, 566 chemical compounds have been isolated from , including 125 cannabinoids and 198 non-cannabinoids.

Recently, a single center study demonstrated the feasibility of an alternative flush solution with 10,000U of unfractionated heparin (UFH) in 1L of normal saline. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an alternative flush solution intermittently utilized at our institution.

- - The study examined the impact of an aggressive colonoscopy-based colorectal cancer screening program implemented in New York City in 2004 on African American patients, comparing outcomes before (1992-2003) and after (2004-2011) the program's introduction.
- - Researchers found that the intensive screening era led to a significant increase in insurance coverage (from 34% to 84%) and a dramatic decrease in mortality rates from colorectal cancer (from 67% to 21%).
- - Results indicated that earlier stage diagnoses and better survival rates were linked to factors like insurance status, tumor location, and gender, suggesting that improving access to screenings could further reduce disparities in cancer outcomes for African Americans.
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation is associated with a transient increased risk of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events. We hypothesized that dabigatran can be safely used as an alternative to continuous warfarin for the periprocedural anticoagulation in PVI.
Methods And Results: A total of 999 consecutive patients undergoing PVI were included; 376 patients were on dabigatran (150 mg), and 623 patients were on warfarin with therapeutic international normalized ratio.
