Cannabis as Medicine

Cannabis as Medicine

For hundreds of years cannabis has been used as a therapeutic medicine around the world. Cannabis was an accepted medicine during the second half of the 19th century but its use declined because single agent pain medications were advocated by physicians who demanded standardization of medicines. It was not until 1964 when the chemical structure of THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol) was elucidated and its pharmacological effects began to be understood. Numerous therapeutic effects of cannabis have been reviewed but cannabis-based medicines are still an enigma because of legal issues. Many patients could benefit from cannabinoids terpenoids and flavonoids found in Cannabis sativa L. These patients suffer from medical conditions including chronic pain chronic inflammatory diseases neurological disorders and other debilitating illnesses. As more states are legalizing medical cannabis prescribers need a reliable source which provides clinical information in a succinct format. This book focuses on the science of cannabis as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement. It discusses cannabis uses in the human body for bone health/osteoporosis; brain injury and trauma; cancer; diabetes; gastrointestinal conditions; mental health disorders; insomnia; pain; anxiety disorders; depression; migraines; eye disorders; and arthritis and inflammation. There is emphasis on using the whole plant — from root to raw leaves and flowers discussing strains extraction and analysis and use of cannabis-infused edibles. Features: Provides an understanding of the botanical and biochemistry behind cannabis as well as its use as a dietary supplement. Discusses endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid receptors. Includes information on antioxidant benefits pain receptors using cannabinoids and dosage guidelines. Presents research on cannabis treatment plans drug-cannabis interactions and dosing issues cannabis vapes edibles creams and suppositories. Multiple appendices including a glossary of cannabis vocabulary how to use cannabis products a patient guide and recipes as well as information on cannabis for pets. | Cannabis as Medicine

Seaweeds as Plant Fertilizer Agricultural Biostimulants and Animal Fodder

Seaweeds as Plant Fertilizer Agricultural Biostimulants and Animal Fodder

The main effects of Seaweed extracts (Ascophyllum Fucus Sargassum Saccorhiza Laminaria Gelidium and others) when used as agricultural fertilizers are better seed germination and higher quality fruit production with longer shelf life; better use of soil nutrients; more productive crops and plants with greater resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions. Algae also have a long history of use as animal feed. They have a highly variable composition depending on the species collection season and habitat and on external conditions such as water temperature light intensity and nutrient concentration in water. In relation to ruminal fermentation a high variability of the digestibility values ​​was found among seaweed species and cannot be attributed only to the composition of different nutrients of the algae. The role of marine algae for reduction of methane production is discussed with particular emphasis on novel algae-based feed strategies that target minimal methane emissions without affecting the functionality of the microbiota and overall animal productivity.

Ethics for Bioengineering Scientists Treating Data as Clients

Ethics for Bioengineering Scientists Treating Data as Clients

This book introduces bioengineers and students who must generate and/or report scientific data to the ethical challenges they will face in preserving the integrity of their data. It provides the perspective of reaching ethical decisions via pathways that treat data as clients to whom bioengineering scientists owe a responsibility that is an existential component of their professional identity. The initial chapters lay a historical biological and philosophical foundation for ethics as a human activity and data as a foundation of science. The middle chapters explore ethical challenges in lay engineering medical and bioengineering scientist settings. These chapters focus on micro-ethics individual behavior and cases that showcase the consequences of violating data integrity. Macro-ethics policy is dealt with in the Enrichment sections at the end of the chapters with essay problems and subjects for debates (in a classroom setting). The book can be used for individual study using links in the Enrichment sections to access cases and media presentations like PBS’ Ethics in America. The final chapters explore the impact of bioengineering science ethics on patients via medical product development its regulation by the FDA and the contribution of data integrity violation to product failure. The book was developed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in bioengineering. It also contains much needed material that researchers and academics would find valuable (e. g. FDA survey and lab animal research justification). Introduces an approach to ethical decision making based on treating data as clients Compares the ethics of three professions; engineering medicine and bioengineering Provides five moral theories to choose from for evaluating ethical decisions and includes a procedure for applying them to moral analysis and application of the procedure to example cases. Examines core concepts like autonomy confidentiality conflict of interest and justice Explains the process of developing a medical product under FDA regulation Explores the role of lawyers and the judiciary in product development including intellectual property protection Examines a range of ethical cases from the historical Tuskegee autonomy case to the modern CRISPR-Cas9 patent case.

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission
