Background
Smoking is one of the top causes of preventable death and is linked to many serious health problems, including cancer and chronic diseases. Nurses can play a big role in helping people quit smoking by offering support through counselling, education, and mental health care. These nurse-led programs have been shown to increase quit rates. Training nurses to deliver these programs is important, and reviewing past studies helps us understand what works best.

Adi Zuloff-Shani Ph.D. Psychedelics to the Rescue

Addiction and obesity share similar neurological pathways, both linked to compulsive behaviors and the brain's reward system. Research has highlighted the potential of GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally developed for diabetes, to help manage both appetite and addictive cravings.

However, they come with potential side effects, and their long-term effects are still under investigation.

In addition, a new compound, 5-Methoxy-2-aminoindane (MEAI), is being researched for its...

Осы аптада біз ҚАДІР-дің негізін қалаушы атқарушы директоры Джефф Лимен қоштасамыз. Джефф осы салада жұмыс істейтіндерді тиісті түрде мамандандыру керектігін алға тарта отырып, алдын алудың кәсібилігін мүлтіксіз жақтаушы болды. Ол генералистер мен емдеу мамандары өз қоғамдастығының ішінде жақсы мағыналы және терең ендірілгенімен, олар ғылыми негізделген алдын алу жүйелерін әзірлеу және енгізу үшін әрдайым жақсы орналастырылмайтынын жиі еске салды.
