UK Medical Cannabis Registry: a cohort study of patients prescribed cannabis-based oils and dried flower for generalised anxiety disorder.

Background: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common mental health condition. The endocannabinoid system has become a focus for new therapies, increasing interest in cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMPs). This study uses data from the UK Medical Cannabis Registry (UKMCR) to investigate real-world outcomes and safety of different CBMP formulations in GAD patients.

Awareness and Knowledge of Tobacco Use and Its Relation to Oral Cancer Among Patients Visiting Stomatology Teaching Hospital.

Background: Oral cancer (OC) is a major global health issue, with tobacco use being one of the most significant preventable risk factors. Despite its strong association with OC, public awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the awareness and knowledge of tobacco use related to oral cancer among patients referred to the Stomatology Teaching Hospital.

The Impact of Social Media in Afghanistan: A Multi-Disciplinary Study.

Background: The rapid growth of social media has profoundly transformed communication, community building, and information sharing worldwide. In Afghanistan, the proliferation of social media platforms has significantly impacted the social, cultural, and political landscape, particularly among the youth.

Objective: This multi-disciplinary study aims to explore the diverse effects of social media on Afghan youth, focusing on usage patterns, mental health implications, entertainment-driven time allocation, financial expenditures, exposure to explicit content, and academic performance.

Comparison of Traditional and Web-Based Medical Student Teaching by Radiology Residents.

Purpose: Web-based learning tools are increasingly available for use and have been described in the pedagogical literature. However, rigorous comparisons between traditional learning methods and newer collaborative online tools have not been performed. Herein, we describe a web-based curriculum hosted on the collaborative Radiopaedia.

Kinetochore Components Required for Centromeric Chromatin Assembly Are Impacted by Msc1 in .

Eukaryotic chromosome segregation requires a protein complex known as the kinetochore that mediates attachment between mitotic spindle microtubules and centromere-specific nucleosomes composed of the widely conserved histone variant CENP-A. Mutations in kinetochore proteins of the fission yeast lead to chromosome missegregation such that daughter cells emerge from mitosis with unequal DNA content. We find that multiple copies of Msc1-a fission yeast homolog of the KDM5 family of proteins-suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of several kinetochore mutants, including and , as well as , , and , components of the Constitutive Centromere Associated Network (CCAN).
