More specifically, the maternal use of cannabis during pregnancy is associated with several adverse foetal and neonatal health consequences. While the volume of evidence is mixed, infants from women who used cannabis during pregnancy were more likely to be anaemic, have decreased birth weight and be placed in neonatal intensive care compared to infants whose mothers did not use cannabis. Findings from human and animal trials suggest that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) may be the key chemicals responsible for many of the abnormal neurodevelopment issues such as long-term impairment in cognitive function resulting from structural alterations in synaptic plasticity. There is limited information available in the literature around the assessment of safe threshold limits, the effects of cannabis exclusive of other drugs and the long-term outcomes in the offspring. As the popularity of cannabis increases, it is important that these data gaps be addressed to provide proper guidance to women and their health care team during pregnancy. Relevance: The societal trend towards cannabis use raises the probability that medical students and practicing physicians will encounter pregnant women using cannabis in some form. Understanding the potential risks of maternal cannabis exposure on foetal development and pregnancy outcomes provides the knowledge required to share appropriate information and guidance with female patients during preconception, pregnancy and lactation. This in turn allows for the implementation of more comprehensive optimum wellness plans for the mother and child. Take Home Messages: As societies and lawmakers around the world increasingly accept the use of cannabis, it’s important that medical professionals have a basic knowledge of the possible risks posed to certain vulnerable members of the population. This article provides a step in that direction.","PeriodicalId":215858,"journal":{"name":"The British Student Doctor Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121587812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Extending the frontiers of neuroimaging: an introduction to Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography","authors":"A. Mirza-Davies, J. Harrison","doi":"10.18573/BSDJ.80","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18573/BSDJ.80","url":null,"abstract":"Summary: The use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) tractography has exploded over the past two decades, proving to be a major advancement in the current methods for exploring the architecture of white matter tracts in the living human brain. Despite making up 50% of brain tissue, investigations into the function of white matter have long remained in the background of medical research. Consequently, white matter pathology cited in neuropsychiatric disease remains a heavy burden of human illness. Nonetheless, with novel diffusion MRI techniques, including DTI tractography, we are able to visualise areas of the brain better than ever before, furthering our understanding of white matter beyond the crude depictions offered by conventional MRI. Relevance: It is important that medical students have an understanding of DTI tractography because it has the potential to illuminate mechanisms that underpin cognition and emotion through the creation of connectional maps. Furthermore, advances in MR technology should not be restricted to the territory of academics. Instead, both medical students and clinicians should be able to draw upon the current research methods to improve the care and understanding of patients with white matter pathology. Take Home Messages: 1. Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a diffusion MRI technique that depicts the movement of water molecules along major white matter pathways in the living brain. 2. Using information from DTI, tractography software virtually reconstructs white matter tracts and can be used to make dissections of major fasciculi in vivo. 3. DTI tractography remains the only non-invasive method to study white matter tracts in the living human brain. 4. Results from tractography are increasingly being used in neuropsychiatric research. 5. Despite its potential, DTI tractography still faces a number of challenges. The most prominent of these being its inability to accurately map crossing fibres within a voxel.","PeriodicalId":215858,"journal":{"name":"The British Student Doctor Journal","volume":"35 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126130964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
