In this cross-sectional study, we assess the risk perception to medicinal marijuana in a sample of medical students. Discuss this article Methods. To estimate risk perception, a visual scale that ranges from 0 cm Comments (0) (without risk) to 10 cm (totally risky) was used. Risk perception was expressed as the median of the cm marked over the scale. Differences among groups was tested with the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, as appropriate.

  • Perception of the Risk of Medicinal Marijuana in Postgraduate Medical Residents[Version 1; Peer Review: Awaiting Peer Review]
    F1000Research 2019, 8:381 Last updated: 14 MAY 2021 RESEARCH NOTE Perception of the risk of medicinal marijuana in postgraduate medical residents [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review] Sandra Castillo-Guzmán , Dionicio Palacios Ríos, Teresa Adriana Nava Obregón, Daniela Alejandra Becerril Gaitàn, Keren Daniela Juangorena García, Danya Carolina Domínguez Romero, Misael Jerónimo Reyes Rodríguez Pain and Palliative Care Clinic, Anesthesiology Service, Hospital Universitario Dr.Jose Eleuterio González y Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Monterrey, Nuevo León, 66463, Mexico v1 First published: 04 Apr 2019, 8:381 Open Peer Review https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.17394.1 Latest published: 04 Apr 2019, 8:381 https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.17394.1 Reviewer Status AWAITING PEER REVIEW Any reports and responses or comments on the Abstract article can be found at the end of the article. Background: Drugs can often cause adverse reactions, and the perception of the risk of prescription drugs could influence prescription behaviour. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of the perception of postgraduate physicians in training of the risk of using medical marijuana, comparing it with their perception of paracetamol and sedatives. A visual analogue scale with ranges from 0 (no risk) to 10 (totally risky) was used. Results: A total of 197 postgraduate students were evaluated; 48 women and 149 men took part, with a mean age 27.8 years. Among the different specialties, there was a difference with regard to the perception of medical marijuana and paracetamol and all perceived a greater risk with sedatives. There was no evidence of a risk perception of marijuana in relation to factors such as alcohol consumption and smoking.

  • AM404, Paracetamol Metabolite, Prevents Prostaglandin Synthesis in Activated Microglia by Inhibiting COX Activity Soraya Wilke Saliba1,2*, Ariel R
    Saliba et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2017) 14:246 DOI 10.1186/s12974-017-1014-3 RESEARCH Open Access AM404, paracetamol metabolite, prevents prostaglandin synthesis in activated microglia by inhibiting COX activity Soraya Wilke Saliba1,2*, Ariel R. Marcotegui3, Ellen Fortwängler1, Johannes Ditrich1, Juan Carlos Perazzo3, Eduardo Muñoz4, Antônio Carlos Pinheiro de Oliveira5 and Bernd L. Fiebich1* Abstract Background: N-arachidonoylphenolamine (AM404), a paracetamol metabolite, is a potent agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) and low-affinity ligand of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1). There is evidence that AM404 exerts its pharmacological effects in immune cells. However, the effect of AM404 on the production of inflammatory mediators of the arachidonic acid pathway in activated microglia is still not fully elucidated. Method: In the present study, we investigated the effects of AM404 on the eicosanoid production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in organotypic hippocampal slices culture (OHSC) and primary microglia cultures using Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. Results: Our results show that AM404 inhibited LPS-mediated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)productioninOHSC, and LPS-stimulated PGE2 release was totally abolished in OHSC if microglial cells were removed. In primary microglia cultures, AM404 led to a significant dose-dependent decrease in the release of PGE2, independent of TRPV1 or CB1 receptors. Moreover, AM404 also inhibited the production of PGD2 and the formation of reactive oxygen species (8-iso-PGF2 alpha) with a reversible reduction of COX-1- and COX-2 activity. Also, it slightly decreased the levels of LPS-induced COX-2 protein, although no effect was observed on LPS-induced mPGES-1 protein synthesis.
