Mental Health and Dispositional Predictors of Simultaneous Versus Concurrent Cannabis and Alcohol Use in a Canadian Context.

Objective: Cannabis has become more available in Canada since its legalization in 2018. Many individuals who use cannabis also use alcohol (co-use), which can be used either at the same time such that their effects overlap (simultaneous use) or at different times (concurrent use). Though studies have identified predictors of co-use relative to single-substance use, less is known about the predictors of specific types of co-use.

Cell density quantification of high resolution Nissl images of the juvenile rat brain.

Nissl histology underpins our understanding of brain anatomy and architecture. Despite its importance, no high-resolution datasets are currently available in the literature for 14-day-old rats. To remedy this issue and demonstrate the utility of such a dataset, we have acquired over 2000 high-resolution images (0.

Regulation of abscisic acid receptor mRNA stability: involvement of microRNA5628 in PYL6 transcript decay.

Phytohormone signaling is fine-tuned by regulatory feedback loops. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays key roles in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance. PYRABACTIN RESISTENCE 1/PYR1-LIKE/REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ABA RECEPTOR (PYR/PYL/RCAR) receptors sense ABA, and in turn, ABA represses their expression.

Efficacy of treatment with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as adoptive cell therapy: an integrative review.

Objective: This integrative review article examines the efficacy of adoptive cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, with a particular focus on the treatment of melanomas and other solid tumors.

Methods: The methodology encompasses theme definition, comprehensive database searches, and a critical review of pertinent literature. Of the 1,947 articles initially identified, 15 were meticulously selected based on stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The influence of social support, oral health beliefs and health behaviours on dental caries in children living in deprived neighbourhoods.

Introduction: This study assessed the influence of social support, oral health beliefs and health behaviours on dental caries incidence among children living in underprivileged neighbourhoods.

Methods: Data from a cohort study with 12-year-old schoolchildren (N=312) selected from public schools in Manaus, Brazil, and their parents or guardians was analyzed. Socioeconomic characteristics, sex, oral health beliefs, social support (SSA questionnaire), oral health-related behaviours (sugar consumption, frequency of toothbrushing, use of fluoride toothpaste) and dental caries (DMFT index) were assessed at age 12 years.
