Abstract: Cognition, memory and behavioural changes associated with the use of psychoactive substances are typically modelled in murine models. This study involved a modelling the use of caffeine and cannabis to provide information potential effects on learning and behavioural aberrations in users [humans]. The natures of memory retention and anxiety levels were observed in juvenile experimental animals after caffeine and cannabis treatment for 21 days. The investigation was conducted to observe the influence of caffeine and cannabis at various dosages on memory and anxiety which are key behavioural and cognition parameters and the regimen was particularly modelled to simulate human conditions of scenarios of these substances uses. Seventy two adult Wistar rats were divided into six groups. Group A was the control group; the Group B received 100mg/kg body weight of caffeine; Group C received 50mg........

Abstract: Objective: To assess prevalence of breastfeeding in a sample of Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients and methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted on 150 female patients diagnosed with RA according to 2010 ACR /EULAR criteria. Age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), breast feeding status, smoking history, and using of oral contraceptive pills were recorded. Result: Prevalence of patients with breast feeding history was 116 (77 %) and those not breastfed was 34(23%).
There was no significant association between breast feeding and the activity of RA (p>0.05). However, we found a dose response relationship between an increasing duration of breast feeding and higher risk of having active RA (adjusted odds ratio [OR 2.0], 95% confidence interval 0.9 – 4.5). There was no significant association between breast feeding and other variable except for parity (p<0.005)........
