Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are at least as effective as other oral analgesics (opioids, acetaminophen) in relieving pain in the first few days after an acute musculoskeletal injury.

Prenatal cannabis use is associated with neurodevelopmental deficits, likely due to exposure to the psychoactive cannabinoid, (-)-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol, and its active metabolite, (±)-11-OH-Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol. To determine causality, preclinical studies mimicking human fetal cannabinoid exposure must be conducted. Here we show cannabinoid concentrations across gestation in maternal plasma and paired fetal tissues in trimester 1 and 2 and maternal plasma and fetal umbilical venous plasma in trimester 3.
