Weed Delivery Burnaby

Weed contains in excess of 100 neuroactive synthetic substances that work with two kinds of cannabinoid receptors, type 1 (CB1) situated in the cerebrum and type 2 (CB2) situated in the mind and fringe resistant framework. Cannabinoids have strong, roundabout impacts on these receptors, yet analysts are uncertain how. Individuals with PD have less CB1 receptors than individuals who don't have PD.

With clinical pot presently legitimized in 33 states and Washington, DC, clearly there is solid interest in its helpful properties. Specialists are trying maryjane, Burnaby Weed Delivery which is likewise called marijuana, as a treatment for some sicknesses and infections, including neurological circumstances, with Parkinson's illness (PD) high on the rundown. Yet, in spite of a few clinical examinations, it has not been shown the way that marijuana can straightforwardly help individuals with PD.

The endocannabinoid framework is situated in the cerebrum and comprised of cannabinoid receptors (a receptor is sub-atomic switch outwardly of a cell that gets something going inside a cell when enacted) that are connected to neurons (synapses) that direct reasoning and some body capacities.

Scientists started to show excitement to concentrate on pot according to PD after individuals with PD gave narrative reports and posted via virtual entertainment concerning how pot supposedly decreased their quakes. A few specialists feel that weed may be neuroprotective — saving neurons from harm brought about by PD.

Cannabinoids (the medication atoms in cannabis) have additionally been read up for use in treating different side effects, as bradykinesia (gradualness brought about by PD) and dyskinesia (abundance development brought about by levodopa). In spite of a few promising preclinical discoveries, scientists have not seen as any significant or decisive advantages of weed for individuals with PD.Researchers issue alert for individuals with PD who use pot due with its impact on thinking.

Abbott coronavirus test is accurate; infected mother's breast milk may protect infants

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The following is a brief roundup of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus.

New coronavirus antibody test highly accurate

A new antibody test is highly accurate at determining whether people have been infected with the novel coronavirus, according to a study published on Friday in The Journal of Clinical Microbiology. Researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine found the test, manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, had a specificity rate of 99.9% and a sensitivity rate of 100%, suggesting little chance of incorrectly diagnosing a healthy person as having been infected and virtually no chance of a false negative readout. Abbott’s test has received emergency use authorization from the FDA and the company has already shipped more than 10 million of the tests to hospitals and labs.

Coronavirus antibodies in breast milk may protect infants

Breast milk from infected mothers may contain antibodies to the novel coronavirus that could be protective for babies, a study suggests. “Nursing mothers who are infected with the novel coronavirus should continue to breastfeed throughout their COVID-19 illness and beyond, because (other researchers) have shown transmission does not occur via milk, and we have determined that antibodies are almost certainly there, and may protect their babies from infection,” Rebecca Powell of The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, who led the study, told Reuters. Her team’s report, posted on Friday on the preprint server medRxiv, has not yet been peer reviewed or published in a medical journal. (bit.ly/2WHvJcA)

Hydroxychloroquine fails to show benefit in hospitalized coronavirus patients

In a large observational study of hospitalized coronavirus patients, hydroxychloroquine – an old malaria drug championed by U.S. President Donald Trump as a “game changer” in the fight against the virus – neither lessened patients’ need for breathing assistance nor their risk of death, according to a report published on Thursday in The New England Journal of Medicine.

“We didn’t see any association between getting this medicine and the chance of dying or being intubated,” lead researcher Dr. Neil Schluger, of New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, told Reuters. “The patients who got the drug didn’t seem to do any better.” Patients in the study were not randomly assigned to receive hydroxychloroquine or a placebo, the researchers noted, and so randomized trials, the gold standard for tests of new therapies, should continue.

Life-threatening syndrome develops in some children after coronavirus exposure

A rare, life-threatening condition is developing in some children after exposure to the new coronavirus that researchers are calling “Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome Potentially Associated with COVID-19.” Doctors are seeing clusters of children, some very young, with the disorder, which can attack multiple organs, impair heart function and weaken heart arteries. British physicians reporting on Thursday in The Lancet said the children initially have fever, rash, conjunctivitis, lower-limb swelling, pain in arms and legs, and “significant” gastrointestinal symptoms, even without testing positive for the coronavirus. The syndrome, while rare, can rapidly progress to critical illness requiring mechanical ventilation. (Links: reut.rs/3cj848U bit.ly/3cea3LK bit.ly/3cea3LK) )

Coronavirus may survive in sperm

Chinese researchers who tested the sperm of 38 men infected with COVID-19 found that six of them, or 16%, had the new coronavirus in their semen, suggesting a small chance that the virus, formally known as SARS-CoV-2, could be sexually transmitted, scientists said. Some of the men were already recovering from their illness.

“If it could be proved that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted sexually … (that) might be a critical part of the prevention,” doctors at China’s Shangqiu Municipal Hospital wrote in the medical journal JAMA Network Open on Thursday, adding that more research is needed.

Poor nasal swab technique may explain some false negative coronavirus tests

Part of the reason for some false negative coronavirus tests – tests that do not detect the virus in someone who is actually infected – may be that the test sample was not collected properly by the person using the nasopharyngeal swab, Canadian researchers say. They reanalyzed specimens from patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 whose test results had been negative or unclear and found less human DNA than they expected to see. Correct use of nasopharyngeal swabs to obtain a high quality specimen “requires training and expertise as it involves insertion of the swab to … a depth of roughly 7 centimeters (2.76 inches), followed by rotation and withdrawal,” Zabrina Brumme of Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and colleagues say. Their study, posted on Friday on the preprint server medRxiv, has not yet been peer reviewed or published in a medical journal. ( bit.ly/2yGKG6J )

Coronavirus spread affected more by public health measures than by climate

Temperature and latitude do not appear to be associated with the spread of the novel coronavirus, and humidity levels have only a weak effect, according to data collected in March from 144 regions of the world. By contrast, public health measures like social distancing, school closures and sheltering at home do make a difference and were strongly associated with reduced epidemic growth, Dr. Peter Juni at the University of Toronto and colleagues found in a report published on Friday in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

“The important effect of public health interventions needs to be weighed carefully against potential economic and psychosocial harms when deciding when and how to lift restrictions,” Juni’s team concluded in their report. ( bit.ly/2YIVmfS )

Demand for face masks on the rise amid coronavirus outbreak — but are they effective?

Demand for face masks on the rise amid coronavirus outbreak — but are they effective?

Surgical face mask sales in China jumped this week amid a deadly coronavirus outbreak.

Officials in the country urged the public to wear masks in a bid to prevent the virus — which has been detected in several countries, including the U.S. — from spreading.

People lined up to buy face masks, with many pharmacies having to limit sales to one package per customer.

All residents in the city of Wuhan, where the outbreak was first detected, have been ordered to wear masks in public places, government staff have been urged to wear them at work and shopkeepers were told to post signs for their visitors.

Photos from the city’s transport stations, which were closed on Thursday, showed virtually everyone wearing face masks.

Fears that the virus, which has not been detected in Canada, would spread has also prompted higher sales of masks at some pharmacies in B.C., which is relatively close to the first confirmed U.S. case in Seattle.

Several Metro Vancouver pharmacies contacted by Global News this week said they are flying off the shelves.

One pharmacy located in Burnaby, B.C. saw a new shipment sell out within hours. Another in nearby New Westminster said the demand has been so high that manufacturers aren’t able to fill orders.

But how much can face masks actually protect individuals against the spread of viruses?

Eleanor Fish, an immunology professor at the University of Toronto, explained there are two kinds of masks being used. The first is a traditional surgical mask and the other is called N95, which is made of thicker material and sits more tightly on the face.

“The issue with [the surgical mask] is it obviously doesn’t protect your eyes and they’re loosely fitting,” Fish said.

“There’s an opportunity for something to come within areas where it’s not tightly fitted, through your nose or neck.”

The major advantage of surgical masks, however, is that they prevent large droplets from coming in contact with parts of the face, Fish said.

Health officials have said the coronavirus is transmitted through human-to-human contact, which includes droplets produced while sneezing or coughing.

“Wearing a surgical mask, that is very well-fitted, would reduce the amount of virus you’d be exposed to,” she noted.

The N95 mask, as the name suggests, is 95 per cent effective in protecting against anything larger than 0.3 microns.

“In hospitals, health-care workers are likely, if they are exposed to an infected individual, to be using well-fitted N95 masks,” Fish explained.

More than masks, Fish said it’s more important for people to remember common hygiene practices — the same ones that prevent the spread of the regular flu.

Some useful tips include keeping your hands away from your nose and mouth, washing hands regularly, and coughing or sneezing into your elbow.

“The best thing is to stay away from somebody who is sick,” she said, noting those who are sick with viruses should also keep a low profile.

Priyanka Mishra, an immunology researcher at Simon Fraser University, agreed that surgical masks can help, but said they come with limitations.

“It will definitely give you protection, but the viruses are very tiny particles and they can move through the mask,” she explained.

Mishra added mask users should proper follow hygiene, such as changing the masks regularly and disposing of them in the right way.

“You keep it attached to your mouth and respiratory system,” she said, noting masks can get contaminated, especially in cases where viruses are around.

For members of the public who choose to wear the masks, Mishra said N95 is likely not suitable.

“It’s not recommended for the general public. They’re made for medical staff,” she said.

Dr. Theresa Tam, the chief public health officer of Canada, cautioned of the risks of wearing a mask during a media briefing Thursday.

“Wearing masks when you’re well is not an effective measure. Sometimes it can actually present some risks, as you’re putting your fingers up and down on your face, removing your mask, putting them next to your eyes,” she said.

Tam said masks are more useful for people who are “actually sick.”

“There’s not [a] recommendation to wear a mask when you’re going about your daily activities.”

The World Health Organization recommends that those who are suspected of being infected with coronavirus, their family members and other visitors, take precautions such as wearing medical masks, properly covering their nose and mouth while sneezing or coughing, and washing their hands.

The organization said Thursday that it is too soon to declare a global health emergency because of the disease, which has infected at least 500 people in China. However, that hasn’t stopped other countries, including Canada, from taking precautions.

The Canadian Border Services Agency announced Wednesday that it would implement health screening for all international arrivals at major airports in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

There are no direct flights from Wuhan to Canada, officials noted, but it is possible travellers would have stopped over in the city.

Fish said it’s not necessary for people living in Canada, where there are no confirmed cases of the illness, to take precautions such as wearing masks. But she noted that it is a personal choice individuals may choose to make.

“I think people should be warned about being too scared about all this,” Fish noted.

“In Canada, we haven’t got any cases and if there were to be cases, we’re extremely well-prepared following the SARs experience. We’ve got all kinds of procedures and protocols in place.”

Health Minister Patty Hajdu said on Thursday that several people in Canada are under observation for signs they may have contracted the illness, but that the risk to Canadians remains low.
