Podcasts about Cud

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. The panel is reviewing a presentation given by Dr. Rick Grant, who was unable to be on the podcast. The presentation was based on the idea that crowding is a subclinical presence. If you manage it with people and resources, a dairy can do very well. But if something happens in that crowded situation, like a disease or heat stress, it can tip performance over the edge. Evaluating time budgets for cows can allow for the identification of places to improve. Beds are vitally important. If a cow doesn't have a bed due to crowding then she's not lying down, chewing her cud, which is what allows her to be as efficient as possible. (3:19)Jason thinks about time budgets as a tool for managing stress. Jim agrees and notes that crowding is part of every cow's day, but we can manage to minimize that time in most instances. Jason and Jim talk about some of their approaches to evaluating crowding when they work with a dairy, and where pain points are often located. (5:57)Jason liked Dr. Grant's takeaway message that the cow doesn't necessarily care she's overcrowded as long as she has a bed she doesn't have to fight for and room at the feed bunk she doesn't have to fight for. He describes a very successful client who is overcrowded, but everything else is managed well. All other stressors have been removed, so the only stressor remaining is the overcrowding. But when additional stressors compound crowding, then dairies experience issues. He adds there is a huge opportunity for error when feeding to slick bunks in an overcrowding situation. (16:15)Jim talks about different measures of efficiency. Is it milk per cow, milk per free stall, milk per parlor stall, or milk per pen? He thinks the real answer is “it depends,” and the answer might be different for each dairy. Jason notes that the bank wants to see assets on a balance sheet, and the cows are the assets. (19:24)The group discusses geographical differences in overcrowding. Jim's observations show crowding increases as one moves east in the US. Tom agrees and notes 20-30% of the available stalls are in his part of the world. Overcrowded cows eat faster, and this impacts rumen efficiency, probably leading to lower de novo fatty acid synthesis and overall lower components. The panel talks about whether or not there is such a thing as an “overcrowding ration.”(20:59)The panel relays some real-world examples of crowding where dairies would cull cows to decrease milk production, but production would remain the same because the cows were now less crowded. They talk more about other management strategies that need to be on point if a dairy is going to overcrowd. (27:50)The panel wraps up with their take-home thoughts for dairy producers and nutritionists. Jim and Jason share their contact information with the audience.

Cannabis Use Disorder Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations and 5-Year Mortality JAMA Network Open This cohort study of 11.6 million people who were studied for a median of five years investigated if individuals who have hospital-based (emergency department or hospitalization) care for a cannabis use disorder (CUD) were at increased risk of death. Researchers found that individuals with incident hospital-based care for a CUD were at a 2.8-fold increased risk of death within five years relative to the general population. These results suggest that individuals who require hospital-based care for a CUD may be at increased risk of premature death.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Association of State Cannabis Legalization With Cannabis Use Disorder and Cannabis Poisoning JAMA Psychiatry This longitudinal cohort study examined the association of state-level medical and recreational cannabis laws with cannabis use disorder (CUD) and cannabis poisonings in the adult population with employer-sponsored health insurance. The study showed that from 2011 to 2021, states with legalized medical cannabis experienced 42.7% and 88.6% increases in CUD and cannabis poisoning, respectively, compared to states without legalized medical cannabis. States with legalized recreational cannabis experienced a 31.6% increase in cannabis poisoning compared to states without legalized recreational cannabis. Thus, state medical cannabis legalization was associated with increased CUD and cannabis poisonings, and state recreational cannabis legalization was associated with increased cannabis poisoning in the adult population with employer-sponsored health insurance.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Cud w Kanie. Lekcja o tym jak zwykła woda stała się winem dzięki zaufaniu. A jaki cud może zrodzić moje zaufanie?

Cud gospodarczy!! I cud, że rośniemy. I to niestety jest o Polsce. Bo jeśli rośniemy w wyniku cudu, to wszyscy wiedzą, że cuda zdarzają się niezwykle rzadko i są raczej stanem przejściowym. Co nam zostanie po tym cudzie? Jakie mamy szanse na dalszy wzrost? Jakie szanse na wzrosty na GPW? Czy wszystko będzie drugą Japonią? Na czym polega japonifikacja w Chinach, a na czym w Europie, czyli jak będzie wyglądało życie prawie bez wzrostu PKB? REFLACJA! To jest z kolei temat głównie o Stanach Zjednoczonych, a jeśli mowa o USA, to poprosimy o opinię, jakie zachowanie rynków jest najbardziej prawdopodobne w drugiej erze Donalda Trumpa, albo turboTrumpa czy może TrumpMuska… Swoimi opiniami i poglądami na rynek oraz swoją wiedzą w czwartek dzieli się z Wami Tomasz Korab, prezes EQUES Investment TFI, w rozmowie z Robertem Stanilewiczem. Zapraszamy!!

„Rozbitkowie z telefonem”  Bardzo, ale to bardzo uwielbiam grać razem z córkami. Ich podejście i entuzjam powodują, że każda historia staje się czymś więcej - wspaniałym wspomnieniem wspólnych chwil. Nie każda gra się nadaje by rodzinnie usiąść przy planszy. Idealne są kooperacje, a najlepiej mocno związane z jakimś określonym tłem fabularne. W przeszłości świetnie sprawdziły się nam takie gry jak Opowieści z Pryncypii, Księga Cudów, czy rewelacyjne Zwierzęta z Bakerstreet.Przyszła pora na wyruszenie z Hanią na bezludną wyspę Toriki. W tej kooperacyjnej grze od Lucky Duck Games staramy się wydostać z wyspy mierząc się z dziką przyrodą i niebezpieczeństwami czyhającymi na każdym kroku. Na szczęście w tym wszystkim pomaga nam aplikacja,która prowadzi nam narrację, skanuje kody QR z kart przedmiotów oraz pozwala zapisać postępy w grze. Wyruszcie z nami na pokładzie podcastu Crash Board, by odkryć naprawdę wyjątkową przygodę zaklętą w planszy i telefonie.Nasz podcast o grach planszowych Crash Board, jest inny, ponieważ opowiadamy o grach z perspektywy taty gracza i jego córki. Ja jestem Maciek i od ponad 10 lat gram w nowoczesne gry planszowe. Nasze zbiory to ponad czterysta gier i ta liczba nadal rośnie.   Hania to moja 13-letnia córka, miłośniczka zwierząt, marzycielka, uwielbia rysować, rzeźbić oraz lepić i kolekcjonuje wszystko co się da – po tatusiu. :)  Razem tworzymy zgrany zespół, który nie zawsze się zgadza, ale zawsze dobrze się bawi nad planszą.  Gra Toriki: Wyspa rozbitków to gra dla od 1 do 4 osób. Jest przeznaczona dla graczy od 8 lat. Czas trwania przygody zależy od Was, ale całość powinna zająć Wam od 5 do 8 godzin.Jakie jest nasze zdanie o grze?  Czy Hani przygoda na bezludnej wyspie przypadła do gustu?Czy ja kręciłem nosem na wykorzystanie aplikacji?  Posłuchajcie nas i zdecydujcie czy ta gra jest dla Was i Waszej rodziny/znajomych.Jeśli macie uwagi co do podcastu lub chcecie się czymś z nami podzielić, piszcie na: crashboardpodcast@gmail.com.Nasz profil znajdziecie na Facebooku i Instagramie wpisując w wyszukiwaniu: Crash Board.

Kto z nas nigdy nie przeczytał horoskopu, nie powróżył z kart albo nie lał wosku w andrzejkowy wieczór? Kto nigdy nie obejrzał żadnego filmu, bajki w którym tajemne magiczne moce były atrybutami głównych bohaterów? Niby nic wielkiego…to tylko zabawa…są inne dużo bardziej niebezpieczne okultystyczne praktyki… A jednak Kościół na kartach katechizmu jasno przestrzega ludzi wierzących przed wszelkimi praktykami, które mają swoje jakiekolwiek konotacje z magicznymi siłami, których jedną z metod działania i wpływów jest manipulacja sacrum. Jak zatem odnaleźć się we współczesnej rzeczywistości, która choć naukę stawia na piedestale postępu jest wysoce stechnicyzowana ciągle nie chce i nie potrafi zrezygnować z magicznych praktyk? W dzisiejszym odcinku wraz z moim gościem Radosławem Brońkiem OP poruszymy niełatwe kwestie dotyczące magii we współczesnym świecie. Postaramy się zrozumieć i wyjaśnić fakt, iż pomimo diametralnych różnic magia może wkraczać w przestrzeń wiary i religii. Zastanowimy się nad tym, kiedy nasza wiara może stać się zabobonem a także poszukamy odpowiedzi na to jak reagować wobec licznych przejawów magii w popkulturze.

In Part 1 of our series on water in the Central Valley of California we visited a town called East Orosi, which has been fighting for clean water for over 20 years. This week we turn our attention to their sewage system, which is also falling apart. Why has it been so difficult for East Orosi to get clean drinking water and fix its sewage problems?  To answer that question we take a look at the entities that run things like sewage and water in unincorporated towns all across California. They're called Community Utility Districts. Community Utility Districts are often one of the only forms of self governance in unincorporated towns. But they're staffed by volunteers, they're underfunded, and they're trying to share a vital resource, water, which is also slowly disappearing in the San Joaquin Valley.  We talk about the problems with Community Utility Districts and ways to save them.  Learn more about the story and find the transcript on radioproject.org. Making Contact digs into the story beneath the story—contextualizing the narratives that shape our culture. Featuring narrative storytelling and thought-provoking interviews. We cover the most urgent issues of our time and the people on the ground building a more just world. EPISODE FEATURES: This episode features Berta Diaz Ochoa- community member of East Orosi; Janaki Anagha- Director of Advocacy, Community Water Center; Kayla Vander Schuur- Community Development Specialist, Self Help Enterprises; Carlos Sanchez- board member of the East Orosi Community Utilities District; Maricela Mares-Alatorre- Community Solutions Advocate, Community Water Center.

Associations of cannabis use, use frequency, and cannabis use disorder with violent behavior among young adults in the United States International Journal of Drug Policy An association between cannabis use and violent behavior has previously been reported, so the authors used the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to better explore this association. In adjusted models, the authors found an increased prevalence of violent behavior among males reporting daily cannabis use with and without cannabis use disorder (CUD) versus no cannabis use. However, there was no increase among males reporting non-daily cannabis use with or without CUD. Researchers found an increase in violent behavior among females reporting non-daily use with or without CUD and daily use with or without CUD. While additional research is needed to better understand this relationship and the sex differences, these findings support the importance of early screening and treatment for CUD.  Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Planety, ale czy to Twój Kosmos? Och, tak. Możesz ułożyć tu swój. Ale czy masz już swoją ulubioną planetę? Ja bym szukała po brzmieniu. Pomogą najprawdziwsze nagrania. NASA. Free licence, oczywiście. Tao oto wędrujemy w kosmosie. Ale żeby nie zachowywać się jak bezmyślny turysta – chwyćmy cienkie nici wiedzy. Bo w sumie – wciąż więcej nie wiemy, niż wiemy o kosmosie. Zaczynamy! Aha, to będą takie trzy części: zanurzenie w muzyce sfer (św. Hildegardę przy okazji, polecam. Serio. Warto sprawdzić); będzie część krótka, acz teoretyczna, potem rozmowa z moją ulubioną malarką Dorotą Roszkowską, która maluje planety. I wystawia. Ostatnio w Białymstoku w „Kwestii Czasu” www.instagram.com/restauracjakwestiaczasu (PS. Zawsze smakowicie!) Potem wiersz. Uprzedzam. To mi, jak nic, zetnie zasięgi, ale przysięgam że Kosmos wymaga poezji. Od każdego z nas. Nie tyko tej napisanej, ale szczere westchnienie zachwytu – to poezja, pokazanie palcem komuś – to iście poetycki gest. Wracając do wiedzy: Planety…. W starożytności planety rozumiano jako „gwiazdy błądzące”, które poruszały się po niebie względem stałych gwiazd. Starożytni Grecy i Rzymianie nazywali planety imionami swoich bogów, takich jak Merkury, Wenus, Mars, Jowisz i Saturn. Cud, że bogowie okazali się na tyle solidni, że dotrwali do dziś w tych nazwach. Oczywiście starożytni nie obawiali się astrologii, wręcz przeciwnie: ustalali zależności, przeliczali trajektorie. A astronomowie, tacy jak Arystoteles, Ptolemeusz i Hiparch, próbowali wyjaśniać ruchy planet za pomocą modeli geocentrycznych, czyli Ziemia w centrum wszechrzeczy, a planety krążyły po złożonych orbitach zwanych epicyklami. Elegancko, ale już nieaktualne. Sto lat temu planety rozumiano już jako ciała niebieskie, okrążające Słońce w modelu heliocentrycznym, - Kopernika, Galileusza i Keplera. A W 1930 roku odkryto Plutona, (polecam historię dzikiego plemienia Dogonów, w Afryce, którzy przed wiekami ustalili, że pluton jest i u zarania dzieją miał się dobrze). Potrzebowaliśmy trochę czasu, żeby przyznać Dogonom racę. Dzikusy, wiadomo. Wiec po odkryciu Plutona uznano za dziewiątą planetę, ale później zdegradowano do rangi planety karłowatej. A potem pojawiły się teleskopy, sondy kosmiczne i satelity, aby badać planety i odkrywać nowe fakty o ich budowie, atmosferze, klimacie, geologii, magnetosferze i księżycach. I wtedy pojawia się Dorota Roszkowska… tadam tadam!!! powiedziałabym cala w bieli, ale Dorota jest cała w złocie, i chodzi tu o planety! I tak dzięki planetom możemy skomponować swój kosmos, bo kto powiedział, że kosmos nie jest nasz? Calutki. Kto powiedział, że my jesteśmy maluścy, a planety są duże? Kwestia perspektywy.

"Cud sprawił, że mnie odratowali, tunelu nie widziałem, chociaż śmierć kliniczna była" - mówił Michał Figurski w Mellinie w Esce Rock. Dziennikarz muzyczny związany kiedyś z Eską Rock wspomina również te czasy, kiedy o jego odejściu było głośno:"ja w ogóle nie żyję przeszłością. To zresztą w moim przypadku byłoby idiotyczne, bo hamulcowego bym sobie sam zakładał. Ja postanowiłem po udarze odciąć wszelkie balasty"Figurski wykonał tytaniczną pracę, żeby wrócić do zdrowia a książka "Najsłodszy" bywa wręcz nazywana biblią cukrzyka. Figurski przyznaje, że lekceważył chorobę - dlaczego wypierał fakt, że jest cukrzykiem o tym w rozmowie z Marcinem Mellerem. Będzie też o pracy przy filmach dla dorosłych, rosyjskich korzeniach i stosunku do wojny na Ukrainie.

Derek Philpott in conversation with David Eastaugh Amazon UK https://a.co/d/5t6o7QM Amazon Worldwide For close to a decade and a half the Philpotts have been getting under the skin of musical artistes. Picking up on glaring errors in their lyrics or sometimes getting completely the wrong end of the stick (perhaps to irritate things a little further) they totally misunderstand the meaning of ‘poetic license'. Hundreds of missives have landed on the real and virtual doormats of musicians, worldwide. In return, these lyrical legends have exercised their right to reply, correcting and sometimes confirming the authors' summation of what went wrong... or right. In this book, enquiries were aimed directly at U.K. Indie bands..

Lead Story: Chronic pain, cannabis legalisation, and cannabis use disorder among patients in the US Veterans Health Administration system, 2005 to 2019: a repeated, cross-sectional study The Lancet Psychiatry The prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in patients with chronic pain is increasing. This study considered the impact of both recreational (RCL) and medical cannabis laws (MCL) on the diagnosis of CUD using a VA population with chronic pain. Results demonstrate that MCL led to a 0.135% increase in the prevalence of CUD. Enacting RCL led to a 0.188% increase in its prevalence. The authors emphasize the importance of these findings and their public health implications, with a focus on clinician monitoring and patient education.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Cud przy pompie, okupiony plagą "awarii dystrybutorów" (jak państwowy Orlen nakazał oznaczać te, w których zabrakło paliwa), gwałtownie szarpnął inflacją w dół. We wrześniu ceny ogółem w gospodarce rosły o 8,2 procent w skali roku. Wciąż sporo, ale już wyraźnie mniej niż ponad 10 procent notowane jeszcze w sierpniu. Eksperci nie mają żadnych wątpliwości: to efekt sztucznego trzymania cen paliw na jakie przed wyborami zdecydował się państwowy gigant, czyli Orlen (paliwa są o 7 procent tańsze niż rok temu!). Do tego państwo dołożyło swoją serię przedwyborczych prezentów: bezpłatne leki dla seniorów i juniorów, darmowe autostrady czy wsteczną obniżkę rachunków za prąd - i mamy przepis na odtrąbiony przez państwowe instytucje inflacyjny sukces. A że sztucznie napędzony? Ważne, że można się chwalić! Sponsorem odcinka jest OANDA TMS Brokers.

How yuhs doin'! This week we'll get Louder with some LGBTQ representation, we'll chew some Cud, and host Adam-Michael James chats with outside-the-box country crooner Lawrence Maxwell ahead of his Merle Haggard tribute show.

Lead Story: Prevalence of Cannabis Use Disorder and Reasons for Use Among Adults in a US State Where Recreational Cannabis Use Is Legal JAMA Network Open This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) among primary care patients in states with legal recreational cannabis. Patients were asked to report medical use, nonmedical use, or both, with 42.4% reporting medical use only, 25.1% nonmedical use only, and 32.5% reporting both. The prevalence of any CUD was 21.3%; for moderate to severe CUD prevalence was 6.5% overall, with 1.3% reporting medical use, 7.2% nonmedical use, and 7.5% reporting both. Those reporting medical use only tended to be older, female, and retired. Those reporting nonmedical use or both were more likely to disclose withdrawal; use in hazardous situations; use despite persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems; important social, occupational, or recreational activities given up or reduced; and use despite persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems. Hence, screening for CUD among patients who use cannabis is paramount.

Lead Story Signaling-specific inhibition of the CB1 receptor for cannabis use disorder: phase 1 and phase 2a randomized trials  Nature Medicine Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is widespread, and there is no pharmacotherapy to facilitate its treatment. AEF0117, the first of a new pharmacological class, is a signaling-specific inhibitor of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1-SSi). AEF0117 selectively inhibits a subset of intracellular effects resulting from Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) binding without modifying behavior per se. In mice and non-human primates, AEF0117 decreased cannabinoid self-administration and THC-related behavioral impairment without producing significant adverse effects. In healthy human volunteers with CUD, AEF0117 was well tolerated and did not precipitate cannabis withdrawal. These data suggest that AEF0117 is a safe and potentially efficacious treatment for CUD.

La organización 'Borrón y cuenta nueva' se dedica a cancelar las deudas de personas y empresas que cumplan con los requisitos de la buena fe concursal. El abogado Antoni Cudós es su portavoz nacional y pone como ejemplo a un autónomo que, tras endeudarse por abrir un negocio, tiene que cerrarlo por falta de éxito. "Cualquier persona que ha tenido un problema y quiere empezar una nueva vida tiene derecho a esta segunda oportunidad", afirma en los micrófonos de Radio Nacional de España. Para ello, recurren precisamente a la conocida como ley de la segunda oportunidad, que desde el mes de septiembre adquirió notoriedad en España gracias a la trasposición de una directiva europea: "Ya no es una facultad que los juzgados otorgan de forma discrecional, sino que se convierte en un derecho de todos los ciudadanos europeos". Se trata de un procedimiento judicial similar a unconcurso de acreedores. Cudós asegura que es sencillo y rápido, pese a que necesita de la intervención de un letrado. De cara a las administraciones públicas, pueden cancelarse deudas de 10.000 euros como máximo, pero frente a proveedores o bancos no hay límites: "Nosotros hemos conseguido exonerar de responsabilidad a gente que tenía deudas de 50.000 o 600.000 euros".

- Premier Morawiecki powiedział, że to nie jest zły pomysł z tym upraszczaniem podatków. Przykład mamy świetny, czyli nowy ład, polskich ład czy PiS-owski nieład. Uprościli strasznie. Ale były premier Donald Tusk, który ostatnio obiecywał kredyty za darmo, dopłaty do czynszów i jeszcze parę innych rzeczy, też jakby coś o tych podatkach wspomniał. W tym samym kierunku. Cud? No cud. No bo Konfederacja ma 13 proc. – zauważa Robert Gwiazdowski w najnowszym odcinku podcastu video „Gwiazdowski mówi Interii”.

Cud spilling or broken cud is a colloquial term for an abnormality in sheep. We typically notice dark staining around the bottom lip and jaw when the sheep is eating or chewing their cud. Affected sheep are usually culled and definitely not breed with as they usually do not grow or thrive well. But what causes cud spilling and how come it is such a mystery?What causes the staining?The staining around the mouth is due to the animal dribbling saliva and ingesta during rumination. This is most likely from an inability to control the cud efficiently. Although the nature of cud spilling is generally not understood very well in either farming or research circles there is one piece of research on the topic in the archives which we can look at to shed some light on the mystery.WIB Beveridge researched cud spilling. His research was reported in The Australian Veterinary Journal in 1936, eight out of the 13 cases examined were due to partial or complete absence of the free end of the tongue. Of the five remaining cases that Beveridge looked at, two showed no obvious structural abnormality, one had deformed cheek teeth and one had a cyst in the pharynx and one had an old fracture of the mandible (jaw bone). Beveridge concluded that the staining was most commonly caused by the partial or complete absence of the free end of the tongue. He noted that the amount of staining varied as did the degree of deformity of the tongue. The cause of the deformity of the tongue is not known. Interestingly in Beveridge's paper he suggested that the tongue issues may have been caused by foxes who are partial to lamb's tongue it seems. Other causes or theories on cud spillingDysphagia is difficulty swallowing — taking more time and effort to move food or liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Dysphagia can be painful for the animal. The technical word for cud spilling is that the sheep or lamb is dysphagic and drops it cud, this can arise for a number of reasons. It can be an indication of diseases of the teeth, gums, or conditions that would cause a sore mouth. Less commonly it has been seen in sheep with high stomach acidity or on poor feed. This arises because the acidic cud has a sharp pH, bad taste, or because of pain.If you have a sheep who is dropping cud, then the first step would be for you/your vet to perform an oral examination. The teeth, soft tissues, and bone should be examined and palpated, as you need to check for dental disease but also inflammation or abscessation of the gums, ulcerations/lacerations/vesicles of the mucosa, changes to the tongue (for example, wooden tongue) and swellings of the bone (like lumpy jaw). The lymph nodes under the jaw should be checked as these can enlarge with infectious and inflammatory causes of oral disease. The most common cause of throat injury is from improper use of a drench gun. Where anthelmintics have trace elements added, especially copper, the damaged throat lining can become ulcerated. Poor bolus administration can cause the same problem. Many with this injury do not improve.Some suggest that lambs with cud spilling will grow out of it once their mouth and teeth have developed fully. Most stud breeders have zero tolerance and simply don't risk it and cull from the first sight of cud spilling regardless. So the jury is still out on what we and the researchers think causes cud spilling.

Ludzka kreatywność jest niesamowita. Na zwykłym skrawku ziemi potrafimy tworzyć piękne i cudowne budowle. Używając naszego sprytu i umiejętności, tworzymy niesamowite rzemiosło, praktycznie od podstaw. I choć wokół nas właściwie codziennie powstają godne uwagi budowle, to są takie momenty w historii, ze cos przebija wszystko dotychczasowe. Coś na zawsze zapisuje się na kartach wieczności. I wówczas takie osiągniecie otrzymuje tytuł „cudu świata” , stając się prawdziwą celebracją ludzkiej kreatywności. Ich powalająca na kolana architektura, ich ambitne plany i jeszcze bardziej ambitna realizacja wciąż zaskakują – wielu inżynierów nawet dziś miałoby problem z powtórzeniem tych antycznych wyczynów. Pomyślcie tylko – cuda te zostały zrobione w czasie, kiedy nie było maszyn budowlanych, komputerów, programów architektonicznych, ba – nawet nie było tak rozwiniętej matematyki i fizyki. A mimo to udało się je zaplanować i zbudować. Jest wiele cudów świata, te antyczne, jak i te późniejsze. Opowiem wam dziś o tych najstarszych, starożytnych. Każdy cud świata ma odrębną historię, a także swoje tajemnice. Historia każdego z nich czego nas uczy. Każdy z nich jest inny, a łączy je jedna rzecz – ze warto mierzyć wysoko! Tak właśnie myślę o cudach świata i mam nadzieję, że wy również po wysłuchaniu dzisiejszego odcinka podzielicie moja opinie. Uruchamiamy zatem nasz wehikuł czasu!

LEM    What's them Swedes a-doin? FANSHAW    They're standing by.  Like a menacing wall of blonde. LEM    [laugh, then coughs] FANSHAW    Are you quite sure you're up for this?  The doctor said you'd worn yourself nearly into a relapse. LEM    Why you think I'm a-lyin here, stead-a being out there? MRS. DOC    [behind door] You all right in there?  May I come in? LEM    [up] Yes ma'am.  SOUND    DOOR OPENS, SHE ENTERS LEM    Jest tryin t'sort out some words as might work with these fellers. MRS. DOC    That sounds wise.  You've already done wonders.  But I have a favor--? LEM    Anythin' ma'am. MRS. DOC    [hesitant] If you can, can you perhaps get them to-- uh-- LEM    Go on? MRS. DOC    To fix my window, there?  They are the ones that broke it. LEM    I already planned on jest that, ma'am.  Donchoo worry. MRS. DOC    Mr. Roberts, you are a veritable angel. LEM    Oh, no ma'am.  Just a man of plain talkin. [laughs, then coughs a bit] MRS. DOC    Get you round a bit more of this and rest you til you're good and ready to come on out.  They can just hold their hosses. FANSHAW    I'll go and see how far the "royal progress" has come.     FADE SOUND    OUTSIDE FANSHAW    [sigh] Still out of sight.  Come along Ezra, let us see if we can catch a glimpse of this mysterious lady. EZRA    Are they gonna fight? FANSHAW    [definite] No.  My friend Lem has maneuvered them into peace talks.  EZRA    It would be fun to watch them fight, but ain't very angelic, is it? FANSHAW    No.  Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, now, would we?  EZRA    Is that the lady, in the cart?  With the big hat and veil? FANSHAW    I would assume so.  A bit of an affectation for the wilds, but everyone has their little vanities. EZRA    Why'ud a lady wear a veil?  Is she really ugly? FANSHAW    I don't know about this particular lady, but many ladies wear them to protect their delicate skin from the harsh sun. EZRA    Ain't much sun under all these trees. FANSHAW    And some ladies, well, they wear a veil to put men at a disadvantage.  No one is entirely comfortable talking to someone they cannot rightly see.  [pause]  I need to let Lem know what all is going on.  I'll be back shortly. SOUND    SHOUTS FANSHAW    What? EZRA    Thought you said they wasn't a-gonna fight! FANSHAW    They weren't supposed to!  Blast!  That looks like more of the Swedes, taking the cart! MRS. BEAMISH    [screams]  Tyke yer bleedin' 'ands off me, ye dodgy swine! FANSHAW    Not much of a lady.  And nothing much we can do here. EZRA    Oh, lookee!  That feller got punched right off the cart! SOUND    GRUNTS FANSHAW    I need to go and tell Lem.  Would you stay with them and see where they go? EZRA    [eager] That would help ya? FANSHAW    It would be very helpful. EZRA    I'm your man.  [distracted] Oh goodness!  That fellow slammed into the tree!  That's gotta smart something fierce!     FADE LEM    They here yet? DOC    No.  It's not so far from the camp that they shouldn't be in sight yet. FANSHAW    Lem!  Ambush! LEM    [quiet] Aw hell. DOC    What? LEM    [sigh, considering best way to say]  I think I ...heard something. DOC    [more joking than suspicious] You must have the plumb smartest ears I ever did encounter, Mr. Roberts.  The way you keep hearing things. LEM    [covering] Uh... Gotta be, livin' raw on the range.  Ya don't hear sumpin a-comin up on you, well, you deserve whatever ya get. DOC    I reckon so. LEM    And with the window broken, sound can get in more. DOC    What is it you heard? LEM    Fighting.  Or leastways a yell.  Sumpin that spoke "fight" to ma mind. DOC    You think there's still trouble?

FANSHAW    They're all in the kitchen, yes.  From the smells, that Beamish woman is very nearly as accomplished in the kitchen as our lady hostess, despite her lack of - ahem - refinement.  They have set the men to building a sort of cookhouse.  Just an annex big enough for her to serve out of.  The doctor's wife objected, you see, to having all these men troop through the house at mealtimes. LEM    Cain't say that I blame her.  Catch me up a bit? FANSHAW    They say the way to man's heart is through his stomach - and we now have clear evidence this works for groups of men as well as it works on individuals.  They've all become the best of chums.  And those Swedish follows are learning English, bit by bit. LEM    One more victory for-- FANSHAW    Civilization? LEM    [down]  I was gonna say salvation.  Had a might too much time to ponder my past while I been laid up here. FANSHAW    I shan't pry, but you know I will gladly listen to anything you feel the need to unburden yourself of. LEM    Thankee kindly, but my burden is my own. FANSHAW    Well.  When you are up to visting, We should make a trip to speak to the fellow who was being chased by the outlaws. LEM    Where ARE they, anyway? FANSHAW    Several of the men took them down a flatboat on the river to the next landing.  Haven't made the return yet - I gather it takes a few days. LEM    Mm.  Good. FANSHAW    But, you see... this fellow was ...killed a bit further out than I can reach.  It's very frustrating.  Ezra, though... LEM    Oh, yup - this Ezra you been talking about?  How come I ain't seen him, never? FANSHAW    I don't know.  He's a child.  A spirit.  Who prefers to think of himself an angel.  I rather think he's been here quite a long time.  And Lem... LEM    Yup? FANSHAW    I-I feel quite dreadful about this, but - you understand, I have been endeavoring to find some way to help him pass on.  But there's this--- LEM    Spit it out and let's see what color it is. FANSHAW    Ezra can go just about anywhere within the entire valley.  That is rather a long distance.  He seems to have very few of the limitations that I find myself so hampered by.  I don't understand it one bit, and I have this - notion - to try and figure out why.  Before I help him find his way onward. LEM    Guess it's a good thing I'm laid up, then, ain't it?

Associations of cannabis potency with mental ill health and addiction: a systemic review The Lancet Psychiatry Cannabis potency, defined as the concentration of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has increased internationally, which could increase the risk of adverse health outcomes for cannabis users. This is the first systematic review of the association of cannabis potency with mental health and addiction. Overall, use of higher potency cannabis, relative to lower potency cannabis, was associated with an increased risk of psychosis and Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). Evidence varied for depression and anxiety. The association of cannabis potency with CUD and psychosis highlights its relevance in health-care settings and for public health guidelines and policies on cannabis sales. Standardization of exposure measures and longitudinal designs are needed to strengthen the evidence of this association.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Getting to the Heart of Cannabis Health Risks Cell Press Cannabis has deleterious effects on cardiovascular physiology. Wei et al. (Cell 185, May 12, 2022) confirm that important inflammatory markers increase transiently after a single marijuana joint and prove a mechanistic link between THC induced vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, cellular oxidative stress, and atherosclerosis using cell-based and mouse models of atherosclerosis. They provide a pharmacological model in which THC-mediated activation of CB1 receptor signaling pathways converge on MAP kinase, TNFa, and NF-kB outputs to create a proinflammatory and atherogenic environment in endothelial cells.   That genistein can antagonize the negative effects of THC with minimal central effects is exciting because genistein is a common component of soy and is already a widely consumed dietary product.   Electronic Cigarettes Versus Nicotine Patches for Smoking Cessation in Pregnancy: A Randomized Controlled Trial Nature Medicine Pregnant smokers were randomized to use either nicotine replacement therapy with patches (NRT, n=571) or e-cigarettes (n=569) for smoking cessation. For the primary outcome, validated prolonged quit rates at the end of pregnancy, the results were 4.4% for NRT and 6.8% for e-cigarettes (P=0.08). However, 25 participants in the NRT arm who reported abstinence also used e-cigarettes. When these participants were excluded from data analysis the quit rates were 3.6% for NRT and 6.8% for e-cigarettes (P=0.02). Low birthweight was less common in the e-cigarette arm, 9.6% versus 14.8% for NRT (P=0.01). The authors conclude that “e-cigarettes were markedly more effective than patches” and do not pose more risk.   Daily Cannabis Use, Cannabis Use Disorder, and Any Medical Cannabis Use Among US Adults: Associations Within Racial, Ethnic, and Sexual Minoritized Identities in a Changing Policy Context Preventive Medicine Reports Cannabis use has steadily increased in the United States, with daily and medical use associated with cannabis use disorder (CUD) and the negative consequences more frequent among marginalized groups. In this study, the authors use the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to examine medical and daily use and CUD across the intersections of racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities. They found that sexual minorities were more likely to have medical and daily use and CUD than their heterosexual counterparts within each racial and ethnic group. However, when examining the intersection of race, ethnicity and sexual identity, there was more heterogeneity across these groups. In addition, they found that in states with medical cannabis laws (MCL) daily cannabis use was higher across all intersectional groups.     Effect of AXS-05 (Dextromethorphan-Bupropion) in Major Depressive Disorder: A Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial AJP Psychiatry Altered glutamatergic neurotransmission is implicated in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder. AXS-05 (dextromethorphan-bupropion) is an oral NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, which utilizes inhibition of CYP2D6 to increase its bioavailability. This phase 2 trial assessed the efficacy and safety of dextromethorphan-bupropion in the treatment of major depressive disorder. In patients with major depression, dextromethorphan-bupropion (AXS-05) significantly improved depressive symptoms compared with bupropion and was generally well tolerated.  The most common adverse events were dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, decreased appetite, and anxiety. Dextromethorphan-bupropion was not associated with psychotomimetic effects, weight gain, or sexual dysfunction.   Mental Health and Substance Use Among Homeless Adolescents in the US JAMA Network This study evaluated mental health and substance use outcomes among homeless and non-homeless adolescents in 2019. Alcohol, cigarette, marijuana, and binge drinking during the prior 30 days was assessed, along with lifetime use of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, ecstasy, and injection drugs or prescription opioid misuse. Results found current substance use ranging from cigarettes to alcohol were higher among homeless adolescents. Lifetime cocaine use was significantly higher among homeless adolescents, as were methamphetamine, heroin, ecstasy, and injection drug use. Homeless adolescents experience worse mental health outcomes, including depression and suicidality, and struggle with more SUDs than their counterparts.   The Importance of Federal Action Supporting Overdose-Prevention Centers NEJM In this prospective piece, the authors discuss the need for new approaches to harm reduction and substance use disorder treatment in the face of substantially increasing overdose deaths, particularly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. One such strategy they discuss is overdose-prevention centers, which operate in other countries and are associated with significant reductions in opioid-overdose morbidity and mortality. However, under Section 856 of the Controlled Substances Act, such facilities may be subject to federal legal sanctions. The authors recommend that the Biden administration declare they will not interfere with such public health interventions or declare that section 856 does not apply to legally sanctioned centers. Further, Congress should modify the Controlled Substance Act to exempt overdose-prevention centers.    Complex Persistent Benzodiazepine Dependence—When Benzodiazepine Deprescribing Goes Awry JAMA Psychiatry Benzodiazepines remain popular medications among patients due to rapid symptom relief and reinforcing effects. As clinicians and patients become more aware of potential risks, and clinical guidelines increasingly urge caution in prescribing, guidance for benzodiazepine deprescribing is needed. The authors propose a new clinical concept for patients experiencing significant psychological or functional decline during or after a benzodiazepine taper—complex persistent benzodiazepine dependence (CPBD). CPBD can be described as symptomatic or functional decompensation with or without the development of aberrant medication behaviors in the setting of benzodiazepine deprescribing–in the absence of a benzodiazepine use disorder. Further research is needed to validate this concept.    What is Success in Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder? Perspectives of Physicians and Patients in Primary Care Settings JSAT Opioid abstinence and treatment retention are typically used as measures of success of MOUD treatment. This study sought to identify other important treatment outcomes and patient-centered measures of success. Qualitative, structured interviews were conducted with physicians (n=14)  and patients (n=18) in 2 family medicine residency programs. The physicians (7 faculty and 7 residents) were experienced buprenorphine prescribers. Both patients and physicians identified 5 themes: staying sober, and improvement in physical health, mental health, relationships, and role functioning. Patients, but not physicians, identified 2 additional themes: tapering off buprenorphine, and decreased stigma and shame. The authors conclude that “clinicians and researchers need to consider a broader scope of success indicators.”
