Presentation from speakUP! Prevention Coalition meeting on Thursday, September 5, 2013. Specifically focusing on medical marijuana. To learn more, visit www.speakupcoalition.org.
The document summarizes key points from House Bill 01 regarding the legalization of medical marijuana in Illinois. It notes that patients will be able to obtain up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 14 days, equaling about 13 joints per day. However, the bill does not specify how law enforcement will determine if someone is driving under the influence of marijuana since there is no immediate roadside test. Additionally, the bill may pose risks to youth as it allows 18-year-olds to obtain medical marijuana without parental consent.

I helped create this article that was published in the Grapevine in Rancho Cucamonga where there is currently a Social Host Ordinance in place to protect youth and parents.
Underage drinking parties have party hosts. These hosts are either participating in providing the environment and the alcohol to minors or are aware that minors are consuming alcohol in their homes or on their property.
Among San Antonio secondary students (Texas School Survey 2012)
• The average age of first use of alcohol is 11.3
• 60% of students said it is somewhat or very easy to get alcohol
• 63% of students reported they obtain alcohol in social settings (home, friends, family members, and parties)

Illinois compassionate usage of medical cannabis Joann Haase
HB 30 would create a limited medical cannabis program in Illinois. It would allow patients with qualifying conditions like cancer, HIV/AIDS, PTSD and others to purchase cannabis from regulated nonprofit dispensaries with a doctor's certification. Dispensaries would be restricted to one per state senate district and subject to oversight by the Department of Public Health. Patients could possess up to 2.5 ounces at a time unless approved for more, and driving or public use while high would remain illegal. The goal is to provide relief to patients while preventing abuse or diversion of cannabis.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

COALITION UPDATE
3. Patients may obtain a medical marijuana (MM) certification
from the State of Illinois to purchase MM legally from a State
approved MM dispensary.
On the date HB01 becomes legal “prescription and
nonprescription medicines and drugs” includes medical
cannabis purchased from a registered dispensing organization.

House Bill 01
4. Patients will be able to obtain 2 ½ ounces of marijuana every
14 days (Section 10)
Equals 183 total joints every two weeks or 13 joints per day.
Even addicted users don’t smoke that much.

HB01
5. The bill allows for prescriptions to be written for a wide range of conditions including:
“…Crohn’s Disease and IBS (Diarrhea),
Causalgia (Pain),
Myoclonus (Muscle twitching),
Tourette’s Syndrome,
Cachexia (Anorexia), Dystonia (Writer’s Cramp),
Post Concussive Syndrome (Headaches),
and Nail-patella syndrome (Nail abnormalities)...”
Clearly the scope of this bill goes way beyond compassionate use for terminal patients.
In Colorado, 94 percent of people who use medical marijuana cite severe and chronic pain as
their reason for needing medical marijuana. This condition is allowed in the Illinios HB001 as
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I and II.

HB01
6. The bill follows the Illinois Vehicle Code Sections 11 501 and 501.2 which states:
A person shall not drive or be in actual physical control of any vehicle within this State while
under the influence of …..any other drug or combination of drugs to a degree that renders
the person incapable of safely driving……
How do you test for it?
There are no immediate testing mechanisms available for marijuana (like the breathalyzer for
alcohol) for law enforcement to determine if someone is under the influence. How will the
law be enforced?
Marijuana affects reaction times & motor skills. It is the identified drug in 14% of fatal car crashes.
(National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2010)

Driving Under the Influence
7. The bill poses serious risk & long term harm to Illinois youth
18 year olds can get a prescription without parental consent.
Adolescents equate “medical” with harmless or “safe.” i.e. “if doctors think its ok then it must be…” Thus,
medical marijuana laws normalize marijuana use, and that gives adolescents the green light to use.
Marijuana use has a direct impact on short term memory, attention span, depth perception, learning and
judgment. Marijuana alters brain development when taken during adolescence (National Institute on Drug Abuse,
2011)
Schools can’t refuse to enroll a medical marijuana patient. How will schools enforce drug free school rules if the
school has to allow medical marijuana patients into the school?

Even addicted users don’t smoke that much.
8. Is the FDA involved in policing the production and sale of Medical
Marijuana?
NO
Not distributed through pharmacies or doctor offices.
Unlike other drugs, which are carefully controlled and regulated, marijuana does not go through the FDA’s
testing procedures because you can’t get a plant through the FDA’s process.
There will be up to 22 cultivation centers. One per Illinois State Police District boundary as of 1/1/2013.
There will be up to 60 dispensaries for distribution and sale of medical marijuana.

17. Study from the Dunedin Longitudinal Study, which was conducted in Dunedin,
New Zealand.
Cohort of 1037 individuals born in 1972 and 1973, who were followed from
birth and were seen every 2 years to age 38. 95% retention rate
Participants' cannabis use was ascertained in interviews at ages 18, 21, 26, 32,
and 38 years. IQ testing was done at age 8, 11, and 13 years, before the start of
cannabis use, and again at age 38, after a pattern of persistent cannabis use had
developed. One third of the cohort had never used cannabis.
After controlling for alcohol or drug dependence, socioeconomic status, and
years of education, the researchers found that persistent cannabis use was
associated with IQ decline when it was begun during the teenage years but not
when begun in the adult years, after the age of 18.
