Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Two synthetic agonists of THC,...

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral Encephalitis

Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its effects by...

Summary

Cannabis arteritis, a peripheral vascular disease in young adults, presents a high amputation risk. Early aspirin treatment can achieve arterial revascularization, distinguishing it from irreversible atherosclerosis.

Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Cardiology
Toxicology

Background:

Cannabis arteritis is an emerging peripheral vascular disease linked to cannabis consumption, particularly affecting young adults.
Increasing European case reports highlight the severity and potential for limb amputation.
It is frequently misdiagnosed as atherosclerosis, a condition with different treatment implications.

Observation:

A novel case of cannabis arteritis is presented.
The patient experienced complete arterial revascularization.
This positive outcome was achieved with early aspirin administration.

Findings:

Cannabis arteritis requires distinction from peripheral arterial disease due to atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis-related peripheral arterial disease is typically irreversible.

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for preventing vascular occlusion.

Implications:

Distinguishing cannabis arteritis from atherosclerosis is vital for appropriate patient management.
Timely intervention, including aspirin therapy, may prevent irreversible vascular damage and amputation.
This case underscores the importance of considering cannabis use in young adults presenting with peripheral vascular disease.
