Drug Interactions in People on Cannabidiol: Is There Cause for Concern?
Cannabis Cannabinoid Res
November 2024
Mater Research Institute, University of Queensland, Raymond Terrace, Brisbane, Australia.
Cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits multiple therapeutic properties, but its use in advanced cancer patients raises concerns about potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) due to polypharmacy. This study aims to look for evidence of DDIs between concomitant medications and CBD oil in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of CBD oil for symptom control (MedCan-1 parent study). Surrogate measures were used to identify possible drug interactions: (1) the maximum mL of oil self-selected by patients in CBD or placebo groups in relation to opioids, specific drug groups, or individual agents; (2) the occurrence of any new or worse adverse effect in relation to the study arm and the concomitant medication classes/medications of interest.

Head Neck
April 2024
Division of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A 46-year-old male with a benign thyroid nodule underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) but developed complications, including dyspnea and skin blistering in the neck area post-procedure.
- After experiencing further issues, an MRI revealed that the nodule had extended and caused tracheal deviation.
- The case marks the first report of a thyroid nodule rupture following RFA, leading to the formation of a thyro-cutaneous fistula that necessitated surgical intervention.
A retrospective audit of young adults who received permanent pacemakers at a teaching hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa.
Introduction: While most pacemaker implantations occur in older individuals, younger patients also receive pacemakers. In these, degenerative conduction system disease is less likely to be the cause of atrioventricular block (AVB), with other diseases being more common. There is, however, a paucity of data on this group as well as on younger pacemaker recipients that have undergone pacemaker implantation for reasons other than AVB.

Stroke Res Treat
February 2023
Department of Medical Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Namibia, Namibia.
Background: Despite stroke being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, there is a dearth of information on the burden and outcomes of stroke in sub-Saharan Africa and Namibia in particular.
Methods: A hospital-based, retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyse non-electronic medical records of all consecutive stroke patients who were admitted to one of the highest tertiary-level hospitals in Namibia for 12 months (2019-2020). The primary outcome of the study was to establish the in-hospital mortality, stroke subtypes, and associated complications.
SARS-CoV-2-specific nasal IgA wanes 9 months after hospitalisation with COVID-19 and is not induced by subsequent vaccination.
EBioMedicine
January 2023
National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK. Electronic address:
Background: Most studies of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 focus on circulating antibody, giving limited insights into mucosal defences that prevent viral replication and onward transmission. We studied nasal and plasma antibody responses one year after hospitalisation for COVID-19, including a period when SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was introduced.
Methods: In this follow up study, plasma and nasosorption samples were prospectively collected from 446 adults hospitalised for COVID-19 between February 2020 and March 2021 via the ISARIC4C and PHOSP-COVID consortia.
