 The plants of the genus Ehretia composed of about 150 species mainly distributed in tropical Asia, Africa, Australia, and North America. They have been used as traditional and folk medicines to treat various ailments in Japan, India, and China for a long time. Previous phytochemical screenings demonstrated that the Ehretia plants mainly contain fatty acids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, cyanogenetic glycosides, and benzoquinones and other constituents from different chemical classes. The pharmacological studies confirmed that the crude extracts or individual compounds from the genus showed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiarthritic, antitubercular, and antiallergic activities, as well as anti-snake venom property. In this review, we presented a summary of the secondary metabolites isolated from different species of Ehretia based on the published literatures up to March 2017. In addition to the traditional medicinal use of Ehretia plants, we focused on the known biological activities of the plants and discussed them in detail here.

Background and objective: Changes in cannabis legalization regimes in several countries have influenced the diversification of cannabis use. There is an ever-increasing number of cannabis forms available, which are gaining popularity for both recreational and therapeutic use. From a therapeutic perspective, oral cannabis containing Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) is a promising route of administration but there is still little information about its pharmacokinetics (PK) effects in humans. The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a general overview of the available PK data on cannabis and THC after oral administration. Materials and Methods: A search of the published literature was conducted using the PubMed database to collect available articles describing the PK data of THC after oral administration in humans. Results: The literature search yielded 363 results, 26 of which met our inclusion criteria. The PK of oral THC has been studied using capsules (including oil content), tablets, baked goods (brownies and cookies), and oil and tea (decoctions). Capsules and tablets, which mainly correspond to pharmaceutical forms, were found to be the oral formulations most commonly studied. Overall, the results reflect the high variability in the THC absorption of oral formulations, with delayed peak plasma concentrations compared to other routes of administration. Conclusions: Oral THC has a highly variable PK profile that differs between formulations, with seemingly higher variability in baked goods and oil forms. Overall, there is limited information available in this field. Therefore, further investigations are required to unravel the unpredictability of oral THC administration to increase the effectiveness and safety of oral formulations in medicinal use.

Recreational Use

Marijuana is considered illicit in much of the world, and is classified as a drug for recreational use, in recent decades the medicinal use of Cannabis sativa L. has grown and diversified, being considered the only therapeutic alternative in the control of serious and incurable diseases such as syndrome of Dravet. The world panorama has shown a more liberal position, since in several countries such as the United States of America, Holland, Australia, Italy, and more recently in Canada, the use of medications, or even the recreational use of this plant, have been regulated. In this context, the investigation of the modifying effects on physical activity of empirically used cannabinoids is fundamental nowadays, mainly due to the regulatory recognition of Cannabis sativa L. as a medicinal plant in a large part of the world. Therefore, the objective of this review was to verify the evidence related to the effect of cannabis on physical performance and to identify and highlight the challenges in the interpretation of information regarding the performance of practitioners of physical activity, as well as athletes, presenting new trends in this area of research to be addressed. To carry out the systematic review, a bibliographic survey of case reports was obtained through Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Academic databases. The following keywords were used to perform the research: cannabis, performance, pain, competition. The following filters were used as inclusion criteria a languages used english; species: humans; types of articles: original articles and reviews and period of publication of articles: 1981 to 2021.

Background: Research of ultrasound use in physiotherapy and daily practice has led to its use as an everyday tool. Methods: The aims were: (1) Checking the proposed systematic review protocol methodology; (2) evaluating the evidence from the last five years; and (3) coordinating the work of the team of reviewers in performing a complete systematic review. Thus, this is a pilot study prior to a full systematic review. The findings in databases related to health sciences with the meta-search engine Discovery EBSCO, Covidence, and Revman were used. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were described for eligibility. Results: Search provided 1029 references regarding the lumbar region on ultrasound scans. Of these, 33 were duplicates. After Covidence, 996 studies were left for screening. A full-text reading brought one randomized clinical trial (RCT). Conclusions: Validity and reliability references were found. The most suitable points were novice versus expert, and ultrasound versus electromyography (EMG) with just one RCT cohort, and observational and case reports. The lines of investigation increasingly endorsed the validity of using ultrasound in physiotherapy. Post-acquisition image analysis could also be a future line of research.

AbstractBackgroundLow-and middle-income countries (LMICs) not only experience the largest burden of humanitarian emergencies but are also disproportionately affected by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Interventions addressing NCDs require humanitarian entities to consider complex challenges such as continuity of care, diagnostics, logistics and cost of care for recurrent or expensive treatments, yet primary focus on the topic is lacking. We conducted a systematic review on the effects of humanitarian disasters on NCDs in LMICs with the primary aim of identifying studies on epidemiology, interventions, and treatment. Key interventions were identified and their effects on populations in disaster settings were reviewed.MethodsA systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, MEDLINE (PubMed, for in-process and non-indexed citations), Social Science Citation Index, and Global Health (EBSCO) for indexed articles published before December 11, 2017. Publications reporting on interventions targeting NCDs during disasters in LMICs were included if they incorporated core intervention components as defined by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Two separate screeners independently evaluated the titles, abstracts and full text of the eligible articles, with vetting by a third reviewer. Key intervention components including target population, phase of crisis, and measured outcomes among others were extracted into a template and synthesized using a thematic analysis approach. The full systematic review is registered at PROSPERO(CRD42018088769).ResultsOf 85 articles eligible for the full systematic review, only seven articles describing interventions met inclusion criteria. Studies focused reporting on the response (n=4) and recovery (n=3) phases of disaster, with no studies reporting on the mitigation or preparedness phases. Successful interventions conducted extensive pre-deployment risk assessments to assess the burden and distinct epidemiology of NCDs amongst affected populations, worked in close cooperation with local health services, assessed individual needs of sub-populations in disaster regions in the response phase, promoted task shifting between humanitarian and development actors, and adopted flexibility in guideline implementation. Training and capacity building of staff were found to be essential elements of successful interventions due to an assessed lack of experience of healthcare workers in disaster settings with NCDs and successfully allowed for incorporation of community health workers.ConclusionsWe found only limited interventions designed to address NCDs in humanitarian emergencies, with a particular dearth of studies addressing the mitigation and preparedness phases of humanitarian response. Delivering interventions for NCDs in humanitarian emergencies requires improved collaboration between humanitarian and development actors in addition to improved NCD training and capacity building amongst healthcare workers in disasters settings.
