Making a joint decision: Cannabis as a potential substitute for opioids in obstetrics and gynecology.
Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol

There is a growing body of evidence that cannabis may be effective as an analgesic with potential to reduce opioid usage in chronic pain. This review synthesizes the available literature to elucidate the possible role that cannabis might play in reducing opioid use in gynecological disorders that may potentially lead to a recommendation of substituting opioids with cannabis. With reports of a decrease in opioid use after cannabis initiation, an opioid-sparing effect has been seen in gynecologic malignancies such as ovarian, uterine, endometrial, and cervical cancers, in addition to chronic pelvic pain (CPP).

- Chalcophaps is a genus of ground-dwelling doves found in regions from India to Australia and the western Pacific, and the study investigates their evolutionary history using DNA from different genes.
- The research identifies three main evolutionary lineages corresponding to the recognized species within this genus, but also finds inconsistencies in the genetic ancestry of one subspecies, sparking questions about its history.
- It highlights that geographical factors play a significant role in the diversification of Chalcophaps, yet these doves exhibit low levels of phenotypic and genetic diversity due to their ability to disperse widely across fragmented habitats.
Todiramphus chloris is the most widely distributed of the Pacific's 'great speciators'. Its 50 subspecies constitute a species complex that is distributed over 16 000 km from the Red Sea to Polynesia. We present, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of this enigmatic radiation of kingfishers.
