Palliative care: meaningful benefit in oncology care.
Palliative care addresses the symptoms of cancer throughout the course of the disease. Moreover, rather than just improving end-of-life care, palliative care also improves survival. It has long been established that a patient’s survival is dependent on the palliation of symptoms caused by cancer therapy, such as neutropenia and chemotherapy-induced nausea. However, the relief of other symptoms,...
متن کاملUnderstanding the molecular aspects of tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol as antioxidants.
An antioxidant mechanism of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) were compared with a simplified model of α-tocopherol, butylhydroxytoluene and hydroxytoluene in order to understand the antioxidant nature of THC and CBD molecules using DFT. The following electronic properties were evaluated: frontier orbitals nature, ionization potential, O-H bond dissociation energy (BDEOH), stabil...
متن کاملA metabolic interaction in vivo between cannabidiol and 1 -tetrahydrocannabinol.
The effect of pretreatment with cannabidiol (CBD; 50 mg/kg i.p.) on the distribution of radioactivity in chromatograms of ethyl acetate extracts of the brains of mice injected with tritiated Delta(1)-tetrahydrocannabinol ((3)H-Delta(1)-THC; 1.0 mg/kg i.v.) was determined. The pretreatment with CBD produced significant increases in the levels of radioactivity in the brain assigned to Delta(1)-TH...
متن کاملCannabidiol and (2)D9-tetrahydrocannabinol are neuroprotective antioxidants
The neuroprotective actions of cannabidiol and other cannabinoids were examined in rat cortical neuron cultures exposed to toxic levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Glutamate toxicity was reduced by both cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive constituent of marijuana, and the psychotropic cannabinoid (2)D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabinoids protected equally well against neurotox...
متن کاملImage-based versus atlas-based patient-specific S-value assessment for Samarium-153 EDTMP cancer palliative care: A short study
Introduction: Use of SPECT/CT data is the most accurate method for patient-specific internal dosimetry when isotopes emit single gamma rays. The manual or semi-automatic segmentation of organs is a major obstacle that slows down and limits the patient-specific dosimetry. Using digital phantoms that mimic patient’s anatomy can bypass the segmentation step and facilitate the dosi...
