Long Term Adverse Effects

The term ‘pollution’ is taken in its broadest sense and effects are recognized to be due to interference, tainting and toxicity. Each of these types of impact is discussed and assessed. It is concluded that no long-term adverse effects on fish stocks can be attributed to oil but that local impacts can be extremely damaging in the short term and that produce from specific localities can be tainted and unmarketable for long periods. In some coastal areas oil can be one among several contributors to reduced water quality, and the implications of this are discussed.

Long Term Adverse Effects

Cannabis is the most-used recreational drug worldwide, with a high prevalence of use among adolescents. In animal models, long-term adverse effects were reported following chronic adolescent exposure to the main psychotomimetic component of the plant, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). However, these studies investigated the effects of pure THC, without taking into account other cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant. Interestingly, cannabidiol (CBD) content seems to mitigate some of the side effects of THC, at least in adult animals. Thus, in female rats, we evaluated the long-term consequences of a co-administration of THC and CBD at a 3:1 ratio, chosen based on the analysis of recently confiscated illegal cannabis samples in Europe. CBD content is able to mitigate some of the long-term behavioral alterations induced by adolescent THC exposure as well as long-term changes in CB1 receptor and microglia activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We also investigated, for the first time, possible long-term effects of chronic administration of a THC/CBD combination reminiscent of “light cannabis” (CBD:THC in a 33:1 ratio; total THC 0.3%). Repeated administration of this CBD:THC combination has long-term adverse effects on cognition and leads to anhedonia. Concomitantly, it boosts Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase-67 (GAD67) levels in the PFC, suggesting a possible lasting effect on GABAergic neurotransmission.

Abstract Background While advances in treatment have dramatically improved the lives of people living with HIV (PLHIV), a number of important unmet needs remain. We conducted an international survey of PLHIV to explore their treatment experience and emotional challenges of ART. Methods Qualitative in-depth interviews were performed with PLHIV to identify key hypotheses. A steering group (led by community members) developed the survey tool which was fielded online from November 2016 to July 2017 in 8 high-income countries in North America (NA), Europe, and Australia. A mixed sampling/recruitment approach was used to ensure a broad cross-section of PLHIV. Respondents were screened for eligibility prior to receiving access to the online survey. Results 1111 PLHIV were surveyed (74% male, 41% 35–49 years; 39% from NA). The majority (98%) were currently taking ARTs with 53% taking a single tablet regimen. Of those on treatment, 87% were satisfied with their current ART. Overall, results for NA respondents were similar to the global results. Many participants reported emotional challenges associated with their daily HIV treatment experience: 66% agreed taking ART every day was a reminder of their HIV status; 25% agreed being tied to a daily medication limited their day-to-day life; and 29% agreed they felt stressed and under pressure to take their HIV medication at the right time every day. Those not “open” about their HIV status were more likely to feel stressed by their medication and felt that it limited them. 37% of participants frequently or quite often hid their HIV medication to avoid revealing their HIV status, particularly amongst those who reported experiencing stigma or high emotional impact of HIV. 89% felt that advances in treatment will improve their quality of life. Reducing long-term adverse effects of ART and lowering dosing frequency were considered the most important areas for improvement; this was similar across demographics such as country, age, and gender. Conclusion In this international survey of PLHIV, despite overall satisfaction with current ART, significant emotional burden and daily impact of treatment persists. PLHIV consider the reduction of long-term adverse effects and dosing frequency important areas for improving ART. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
