Smoking increases depression symptoms in

adolescents especially in those who smoke to

combat sadness.

A group of researchers in the University of Toronto

has published findings about Addictive Behaviours.

 The findings are part of the article entitled

'Nicotine Dependence in Adolescents'( NIDL , by

its initials in English ) , which develops long-term

Research Center , University Hospital in Montreal.

According to principal investigator of this study ,

Michael Chaiton, professor at the Research Unit

Snuff, University of Toronto, this observational

study is one of the few examining perceived

emotional benefits of smoking in adolescents.

 "Although cigarettes appear to have similar effects

as a ' self-medication 'or improve mood in the long

term we have seen adolescents who reported more

symptoms of depression," he adds.

As part of a larger study , some 662 high school

teenagers completed a questionnaire of about 20

questions about their consumption of cigarettes and

how they affect the mood.

The institutes were selected to obtain a mixture of

French and British participants, from rural and

urban centers located in neighborhoods with low

socioeconomic levels , medium and high.

The teens were divided into three groups : those

who had never smoked , smokers who claimed not

to use snuff for ' self-medication ' and improve their

physical or psychic, and acknowledged that

smokers who smoke to feel better.

Depressive symptoms were greater among

adolescents who got emotional benefits of smoking.

Symptoms of depression were measured using a

scale that asked participants how often they were

too tired to do things; had trouble going to sleep or

staying awake were unhappy, sad or depressed and

felt hopeless about their future; nervous or tense,

and too concerned for some reason.

The association between depression and tobacco

use was mainly among adolescents who smoke to

feel better". Importantly, depressive symptoms

were greater among adolescents who acknowledged

getting emotional benefits begin smoking after the

habit ,"he stresses.

Researchers at McGill University in Canada, say

that smoking cannabis can help people with

chronic pain to alleviate their condition.

Besides improving your mood and help them

sleep, according to research results published by

the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

The research sought to examine the analgesic

effect of inhaled cannabis or THC in 21

participants from more than 18 years who had

chronic neuropathic pain, tested with different

levels of active drug ( 2,5, 6 and 9.4 % THC ),

and placebo.

The findings showed that patients had better

quality sleep with increasing the content of

cannabis, while their anxiety and depression also

fell by 9.4 % THC group compared with the

placebo group .

It is the first clinical trial showing that cannabis

provides clinical benefit in patients with chronic

pain.

As explained by the principal investigator, Alan

Edwards, "shows that 25 milligrams of cannabis

herb , with 9.4 % THC , administered in a single

inhalation smoked three times a day for five days,

significantly reduces pain intensity, while

detected statistically significant improvements in

sleep quality and anxiety".

For the moment, it is the first clinical trial

showing that cannabis provides a clinical benefit

in these patients, as acknowledged by Edwards,

but notes that there are other ongoing

investigations.

Following this discovery, the scientific objective

of this research is to continue to raise levels of

THC, increase monitoring and dosing more

flexible.

According to the doctor at the

University Eye Institute in Ottawa

Hospital (Canada ) May Griffith,

leader of the study, "with more

studies, the approach could help

restore the sight of millions of people

waiting for donated human cornea to

undergo a transplant".

The artificial cornea is a thin,

transparent layer of collagen and cells

that act as a 'window' within the

eyeball.

Must be fully transparented to allow

light to enter and help focus. The

diseases that cloud the cornea are the

most common causes of blindness.

A clinical trial has begun.  10

Swedish patients with advanced

keratoconus, a problem characterized

by the progressive increase of the

central cornea, are participating.

Each of these patients underwent the

operation of one of his eyes to remove

corneal tissue and replacing damaged

biosynthetic cornea.

Biosynthetic corneas became

sensitive to touch and began to

produce normal tears to keep the eye

oxygenated.

After two years of monitoring,

researchers found that cells and

nerves in the corneas of patients

themselves had grown into the

implant, resulting in a cornea '

regenerated 'similar to normal healthy

tissue.

Patients experienced no rejection or

immunosuppression needed a long,

two serious side effects associated

with the use of donated human tissue.

Moreover, vision improved in six of

these 10 patients and after contact

lenses are adjusted, the vision was

comparable to that achieved with a

conventional corneal transplantation

of human tissue donation.
