Article Synopsis
- * A total of 268 CLE cases were recorded, with a standardized prevalence of 43/100,000 and an estimated incidence of 5.7/100,000 person-years, showing higher rates compared to lighter-skinned populations.
- * Findings indicate that darker-skinned patients are more likely to experience severe forms of CLE and that certain clinical features may indicate a higher risk of progression to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), underscoring the need for tailored patient follow-up.
Objective: Preventing Cannabis-impaired driving involves understanding how users assess risk, monitor their use, and plan to get home safely. While extant research has shown substantial heterogeneity in patterns of cannabis use among different user groups, far less research has examined self-regulation among users. The current study aims to identify sub-groups of individuals who used or have used cannabis based on how they perceive risks, monitor their impairment, and plan to avoid driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) to examine how the different profiles relate to DUIC outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well cefazolin compares to cloxacillin for treating infective endocarditis caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococci (MSS).
- Data were collected from patients treated in six French hospitals between 2014 and 2020, measuring treatment failure based on a variety of outcomes like death and relapse within 90 days.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment effectiveness or safety between the two antibiotics, indicating that cefazolin is similarly effective as cloxacillin for MSS endocarditis.
Background: Despite thousands of licensed cannabis retail stores operating across Canada, there remains a significant illicit cannabis market. Some cannabis users continue to buy cannabis from dealers, illicit stores, and/or illicit online retailers.
