In Part 2 of this Hope With Answers series on CBD, Cannabis, and Lung Cancer, we discuss the differences between CBD oil and hemp oil and what's happening on the CBD clinical trials horizon. Once again, Jacquelyn Bainbridge, a clinical pharmacist at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, joins us to talk about her clinical research, including work on cannabis clinical trials with hopes that CBD could help lung cancer patients. “CBD potentially, or has a potential, to alter the immune environment and stimulate a response. So where that may be helpful is in patients with non-small cell lung cancer because it seems to be more responsive to immunotherapy. So it might be more likely to help that population.” - Jacquelyn Brainbridge, PharmD, FCCP Guest: Jacquelyn Bainbridge, PharmD, FCCP: Clinical Pharmacist at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus Show Notes | Watch the video | Transcript LCFA's mission is the improvement in survivorship of lung cancer patients through the funding of transformative science. While raising funds to support lung cancer research, LCFA will raise the public's awareness and serve as a resource for patients or anyone seeking answers, hope, and access to updated treatment information, scientific investigation, and clinical trials.

In this webinar Zoran Radić, Adjunct Professor at UC San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, shares insights into the catalytic core of Acetylcholinesterase and the new perspective on molecular analysis enabled by Virtual Reality.Atomic details of molecular 3D structures reveal the basis for understanding the catalytic power of enzyme molecules. This is why the correct perception of macromolecular architecture is greatly facilitated by immersive visualization and molecule manipulation in VR.When offending inhibitors compromise the optimally evolved geometry of enzymes finding out appropriate correcting tools becomes a challenge. Prof. Radić peek into the active center of one of the most powerful biological catalysts, the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase, and dissect approaches his research team uses to recover enzyme catalytic activity upon covalent modification by some of the most toxic inhibitors, such as Novichok organophosphate poisons.Highlights: - Understanding spatial impaction of Novichok-inhibited acetylcholinesterase is greatly facilitated by VR- 3D structures of Acetylcholinesterase help explain its catalysis and provide a template for structure-based design while revealing an unexpected paradox- Structure-based analysis aided by VR accelerates the creation and refinement of antidotes against acetylcholinesterase poisoning

Did you know that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine recently published an extensive report reviewing the research on the health effects of cannabis? http://nationalacademies.org/hmd/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2017/Cannabis-Health-Effects/Cannabis-conclusions.pdf Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Pharmacist, Laura Borgelt, PharmD, Associate Dean, Skaggs School of Pharmacy, and Professor in the Departments of Clinical Pharmacy and Family Medicine at the University of Colorado – Denver. Borgelt discusses the research, risks and benefits of medical and recreational marijuana, including special considerations for edible products, and medical conditions. Dr. Borgelt recently spoke at the annual meeting of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She has extensive knowledge of cannabis with regards to its pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic effectiveness, and potential risks. Her interest began about seven years ago when she was asked clinical questions about its use in pregnant and lactating women. As more states legalize medical and recreational marijuana, consumers need a solid understanding of how the body metabolizes and utilizes cannabinoids, and the differences between various products in the marketplace.

There are many factors that impact infectious disease for senior adults. We know that seniors are more likely to acquire CAP (community acquired pneumonia ) and to have more serious complications than younger patients, including hospitalization. Vaccination is the best line of defense for seniors. Drug therapy for prevention against influenza for elderly patients at high risk may also be initiated for seniors who have household exposures. Smoking cessation support should also be offered because seniors who smoke or have smoke exposure are at a significantly higher risk of upper respiratory infections. Even with the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, seniors are consistently heavily impacted by the illnesses. It seems that some flu seasons are worse than others. Stress can make patients of all ages more susceptible to illness and seniors with diminished lung function have difficulty clearing mucus. I always recommend following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's every day recommendations to decrease the spread of infections. Seniors should avoid others with known illness, seek medical care as soon as symptoms appear, avoid contact with others if possible to avoid spreading the flu, cover nose/mouth when sneezing/coughing, place all tissues in the trash after use, wash hands frequently with soap and water and clean potentially infected surfaces frequently.

Enjoy the two features we offer today, June 4: Feature #1 (start time 5:36): Cancer drugs are much more targeted than they were many years ago. But researchers are still trying to find a way to deliver drugs much more precisely to cancer cells, partly to avoid damaging, sometimes lethal, side effects. A huge obstacle has been getting nucleic acids to cross the membrane of cancer cells. A new study has brought researchers closer to crossing this big hurdle. Dr. Tom Anchordoquy, a lead author of the study, speaks with co-host Susan Moran about the study and what it means for cancer patients and researchers. Dr. Anchordoquy is an investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver and a professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Feature #2 (start time 15:02): Being an astronaut is a risky job, but perhaps one of the less-known risks is the high levels of radiation beyond the relatively protective cocoon of Earth’s magnetic field. This will be a particularly important problem to address for long-duration deep-space flight such as going to Mars. Until recently there have not been a lot of measurements available of the interplanetary radiation field for the types of radiation that could affect humans. But on the Curiosity rover of the Mars Science Laboratory, there is a radiation detector designed to make those important measurements. The instrument team recently published their initial results. Dr. Don Hassler, Science Program Director at Southwest Research Institute’s Boulder office and the Principal Investigator for the Radiation Assessment Detector on the Mars Curiosity rover, talks with co-host Joel Parker about the results.
