Marijuana Induced Pericarditis: An Emerging Crisis.

Background: The use of marijuana, derived from the Cannabis plant, has a lengthy history dating back thousands of years. With the recent legalization of marijuana in many US states, concerns about its health effects have grown. Despite traditional beliefs in its cardioprotective properties, there is a rising incidence of marijuana-induced pericarditis.

Adherence to antihypertensives in the United States: A comparative meta-analysis of 23 million patients.

Adherence to antihypertensives is crucial for control of blood pressure. This study analyzed factors and interventions that could affect adherence to antihypertensives in the US. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched on January 21, 2022 and December 25, 2023 for studies on the adherence to antihypertensives in the US.

Anthracyclines and the risk of arrhythmias: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There have been controversial findings from recent studies regarding anthracyclines use and the subsequent risk of arrhythmias. This study aimed to evaluate the existing evidence of the risk of arrhythmias in patients treated with anthracyclines.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched up to April 2022 using keywords such as "anthracycline" and "arrhythmia.

Association between insomnia and the incidence of myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Insomnia has been closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) including myocardial infarction (MI). Our study aims to assess the eligibility of insomnia as a potential risk factor for MI.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using terms; such as "Insomnia" and "MI.

Therapeutic effects of thymoquinone or capsaicin on acrylamide-induced reproductive toxicity in rats mediated by their effect on oxidative stress, inflammation, and tight junction integrity.

In the field of environmental toxicology, endocrine-disrupting effects have become a major concern. The present research set out to investigate the possible reproductive toxicity of acrylamide. The research was also expanded to explore the protective effects of two nutraceuticals, thymoquinone (TQ) and capsaicin, against acrylamide-induced reproductive toxicity.

Cohort retrospective study: the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as an independent predictor of outcomes at the presentation of the multi-trauma patient.

Background: Although the association of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with mortality in trauma patients has recently been shown, there is a paucity of research on the association with other outcomes. Recent studies suggest that the NLR has a predictive value of mortality in trauma patients during various times of admission. This study aimed to determine the prognostic impact of NLR at the presentation in critically ill trauma patients.
