The Health Hazards of Legalizing Marijuana
In a dramatic example of government yielding to public opinion the Senate has introduced legislation to legalize cannabis on the federal level. Though passage before the November election is unlikely, this long overdue legislative action seeks to update a statute stemming [pun intended] from marijuana’s demonized image as depicted in the 1936 documentary film “Reefer Madness” and better reflect public opinion and liberal social trends. Currently, under the Federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970, cannabis is considered to have “no accepted medical use” and a high potential fo...

AI stroke software differences don't affect thrombectomy eligibility
Although two commercially available AI software applications can yield different volume estimations on stroke CT perfusion (CTP) studies, the differences aren't significant enough to affect patient eligibility for thrombectomy, researchers reported in an article published May 2 in the Journal of Stroke Cerebrovascular Diseases. However, there are still important issues to be aware of. In a study involving 362 stroke cases, researchers led by first author Benjamin Alwood, MD, in the department of vascular neurology at the University of Florida in Jacksonville, and colleagues, compared core and penumbra volumes estimated by...

Major budget cuts to two high-profile NIH efforts leave researchers reeling
When the U.S. government’s spending bills for this year were belatedly finalized in March, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) largely escaped the major cuts that struck some other several science agencies. But because of a quirk in their funding arrangement, two high-profile NIH programs in neuroscience and genomic medicine will be cut by more than one-third, receiving $462 million less than their 2023 total of $1.2 billion. For the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, a decade-old project to map neural circuitry and develop devices to treat or prevent brain di...
