Cannabis has a history of medical use dating back millennia; however, the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes fell out of favor in the middle of the last century. There is currently a renewed interest in the potential medicinal value of this plant, as well as individual compounds produced by Cannabis (as well as synthetic analogs). Currently, nearly 50 countries permit the medical use of cannabis, and over a dozen other countries have legalized cannabis-based products (CBD, Sativex, Dronabinol, etc.) for medical use. While there exists a plethora of anecdotal reports indicating that cannabis can treat a variety of diseases, there is a limited amount of strong, evidence-based scientific data to support these claims. This Special Edition of Biomedicines, "Therapeutic Potential for Cannabis and Cannabinoids", was dedicated to providing evidence for the medicinal value of cannabis to treat human illness and disease. Topics included, but were not limited to, preclinical animal models examining the efficacy of cannabis and cannabinoid derivatives on pain, anxiety, cancer, and other diseases; and cell and molecular models of cannabinoid pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions, and disease treatment. These studies are of great importance not only for progressing the cannabis field, but also for validating the use of cannabis and cannabinoids as therapeutics.

La dramathérapie, ou thérapie par le théâtre, est une pratique émergente qui puise ses sources dans l'art, dans la psychanalyse et dans la psychologie an-glo-américaine. Par la catharsis, la fiction, le dédoublement, la théâtralité, des patients peuvent trouver le moyen de se dire et de dépasser leurs souffrances. Certaines formes privilégiées par les dramathérapeutes sont particulièrement étudiées dans cet ouvrage : l'improvisation, la marionnette, la commedia dell'arte, le conte, l'écriture théâtrale, la gestualité non verbale, le masque, le psychodrame, la théâtralisation des rêves ou des souvenirs ... Cette pratique ne va pas sans contre-indications. C'est pourquoi Jean-Pierre Klein met notamment en garde contre certains pièges à éviter.

Design and Applications of Theranostic Nanomedicines reviews the composition and design of various nanomedicines for theranostic applications, helping readers to make informed decisions when exploring novel treatments for disease. This book introduces readers to theranostic nanostructures as nanomedicines, beginning with a balanced look at the associated challenges, costs and benefits. The next section goes on to detail a range of different theranostic nanomedicines and their design, from nanodispersions and nanogels to exosomes and polymeric micelles. A variety of applications is covered, including in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, neurological disorders, cancers and more. The book also takes a look at the toxicological implications of nanotheranostics, an important aspect of any therapy or treatment. Design and Applications of Theranostic Nanomedicines provides a snapshot of the state-of-the-art, and will be of use to materials scientists, biomedical engineers and pharmaceutical scientists with an interest in nanotechnology and theranostics.
