Cannabis in painful HIV-associated sensory neuropathy A randomized placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: Smoked cannabis was well tolerated and effectively relieved chronic neuropathic pain from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy and an experimental pain model as discussed by the authors, which is comparable to oral drugs used for chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabinoid-opioid interaction in chronic pain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that vaporized cannabis augments the analgesic effects of opioids without significantly altering plasma opioid levels, and may allow for opioid treatment at lower doses with fewer side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continued CD4 cell count increases in HIV-infected adults experiencing 4 years of viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy.

TL;DR: Most patients who achieve and maintain viral suppression on HAART continue to experience CD4 T-cell gains through 4 years of therapy, indicating the immune system's capacity forCD4 T lymphocyte restoration is not limited by low pre-therapy CD4 counts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of workplace demands and cardiovascular reactivity in progression of carotid atherosclerosis: population based study

TL;DR: Men who showed stress induced blood pressure reactivity and who reported high job demands experienced the greatest atherosclerotic progression, showing the association between dispositional risk characteristics and contextual determinants of disease and suggesting that behaviourally evoked cardiovascular reactivity may have a role in atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaporization as a smokeless cannabis delivery system: a pilot study.
