Strengthening Workplace Learning in Medical and Health Profession Education: Medical Educators’ Perspective
Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Suhoyo Yoyo
Published: March 2024

The profession of medicine is a challenging one considering the pace with which medical knowledge continues to expand on a daily basis. The purpose of the current review was to explore the significance of workplace learning from the perspective of different stakeholders. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out on the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines, and a total of 26 articles were selected based on their suitability with the current review objectives. Keywords used in the search include workplace learning and medical education in the title alone only. The workplace offers an opportunity for medical students to apply their acquired knowledge and participate in the process of patient care. Workplace learning gives a platform for medical students to not only participate in patient care but also gradually move forward on the path to becoming an effective member of the health workforce. We must realize that it is not only the students who derive benefits from workplace learning but also the teachers who can optimize their teaching and facilitation skills. To conclude, acknowledging the scope and merits attributed to workplace learning for different stakeholders, there is a definitive need to strengthen the overall process. Medical teachers have a crucial role to play in the strengthening and reinforcement of workplace learning in different contexts, and thus, they should be supported in their task to eventually improve the quality of medical doctors that we are producing.

Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Maulida Anisa Putri
Published: March 2024

Mentoring in the field of medical education plays a defining role in ensuring the personal and professional growth of medical students by creating a nurturing environment for them to thrive and prosper. Portfolio mentoring is a relatively novel approach to mentor students, wherein a portfolio occupies the central stage to ensure interaction between the two stakeholders. The employment of a portfolio as a tool for mentoring gives precise, concrete details about the work and accomplishments of the student, which was missing in traditional mentoring. Whenever an institution takes a call to introduce mentoring through a portfolio, prerequisites should be met before the start of them. If we want mentoring through portfolio to work in our settings, the most essential factor will be the amount of trust and rapport between the mentors and the mentees. In conclusion, the use of portfolios for mentoring medical students can be acknowledged as a wonderful approach to augment their educational experience. Portfolio provides them an opportunity to showcase their work, achievements, and growth, and through effective mentoring, we can empower future doctors and shape their path to success in years to come.
Molar Pregnancy with a Coexistent Fetus following Assisted Reproductive Techniques: A Review of Literature of the Clinical Course and Sequelae
Authors: Rai Seema , Yasaswi K. , Hiremath Ravishekar N. , Raj Rishi
Published: March 2024

The clinical course and sequelae of molar pregnancy pose several diagnostic and management challenges, especially conceiving after assisted reproductive technology. A review of the literature was conducted on molar pregnancy with a coexistent fetus following assisted reproductive techniques, its clinical course, and sequelae. The literature review was conducted using search terms “coexistent fetus,” “hydatidiform mole,” “twin,” “assisted conception” AND “persistent gestational trophoblastic disease (PGTD)” OR “chemotherapy” in PubMed. A literature search identified 26 reported cases conceived following assisted conception. Management guidelines for hydatidiform mole with live fetuses are very vague and do not give specificity due to the fact that it is often associated with complications and bad obstetric outcomes. It also requires continuous monitoring and follow-up in a tertiary care center anticipating disease progression to postnatal PGTD. To assess the risk of continuation of pregnancy, multicentric studies with larger sample sizes are required to have a valid finding.
Advanced Prospects for Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: An Updated Comprehensive Review
Authors: Khan Mohammad Kamran
Published: March 2024

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is negatively affecting the health of people and their quality of life. This breathing disorder has a multifactorial etiology. However, orofacial factors in OSA patients have been reported to be relatively more significant factors for its etiopathogenesis and its progression. Polysomnography has been a conventional diagnostic modality for OSA. However, in recent years, various novel and modern detection and diagnostic options have been reported in the current literature. Adenotonsillectomy, positive airway pressure therapy, oral appliances (e.g. mandibular advancement device), and pharmacological drugs (intranasal corticosteroids, etc.) have been known as some of the common treatment modalities for OSA. However, recently several modern therapeutic ways for OSA have been reported in the current literature. The aim of this review article is to comprehensively appraise and highlight the current and recent literature about several aspects of OSA, particularly its modern and novel detection methods and therapeutic options.
Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine versus Clonidine in Attenuating Hemodynamic Instability in Surgeries Performed Laparoscopically: A Randomized Single-Blinded Trial
Authors: Prasad T. Krishna , Rahul S. S. , Lysander Sheerin , Priyadharsini K. Soundarya
Published: March 2024

Background:

Various surgeries are being performed laparoscopically since the last decade owing to its collective benefits, yet pneumoperitoneum-related complications are plenty. Hemodynamic instability that is observed in surgeries performed laparoscopically impacts clinical recovery to a greater extent. Therefore, this study was devised to tackle this complication using drugs that suppressed this sympathetic response using alpha-2 sympatholytic agents.

Aim:

The aim was to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and clonidine infusion in maintaining stable hemodynamics during the intraoperative period and possible adverse effects in the postoperative period in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.

Materials and Methods:

This was a randomized single-blinded trial done in a tertiary care center. We included 52 patients (26 patients per group) who underwent laparoscopic surgeries, fit under the American Society of Anesthesiologists (I and II), and 18–60 years age group. Group 1 received intravenous (IV) infusion of dexmedetomidine at 0.3 μg/kg/h, and Group 2 received IV infusion of clonidine at 2 μg/kg/h. The baseline vital parameters and the changes after pneumoperitoneum were systematically recorded and compared.

Results:

Group 1 had significantly lower blood pressure with the similar trend even during the latter part of the surgery. Whereas pain scores were lower in Group 2.

Conclusion:

We conclude that both the drugs were similarly effective in attenuating the hemodynamic changes in response pneumoperitoneum with quite minimal or no apparent adverse effects.

Authors: Sajan Cyril , Saggu Varun Singh , Maheshwari Rajesh , Jacob Elizabeth
Published: March 2024

First case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 was detected in Wuhan province of china. Within a year, the vaccine development process accelerated and emergency approval was rolled out for vaccines. Covishield, an adenovirus vector-based vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India, was granted emergency use approval by the subject expert committee under Drug Controller General of India in India in the month of January. Numerous adverse effects are still under study following vaccination. Among them, a very rare complication reported is Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). The relation between coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccine and GBS is still not clear. Here, we present a case of a 32-year-old female with no comorbidities, presented with complaints of bilateral weakness in lower limbs which gradually progressed to upper limbs along with bilateral facial palsy. She had taken her first shot of Covishield vaccine last month. She has no risk factors for GBS, which suggests that it was caused by the vaccine. She was admitted to intensive care unit for further management. This report might help physicians to be more vigilant in evaluating GBS cases especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic era.

Authors: Abdullah K. Sheik , Prasad T. Krishna , Narayanan S. Vijay , Jaffar Mahnoor
Published: March 2024

Introduction:

Regional anesthesia is a better alternative whenever general anesthesia is undesirable or contraindicated. Peribulbar block is considered preferable over retrobulbar block in achieving anesthesia for intraocular and extraocular surgeries. It is widely used because it is easier to perform.

Objectives:

This study compares the efficacy of levobupivacaine over lignocaine for peribulbar anesthesia in cataract surgery.

Methods:

A prospective, randomized double-blinded study comparing levobupivacaine for peribulbar anesthesia in cataract surgery was done with 30 patients in each group. Included patients were randomly categorized into Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 received lignocaine with adrenaline and Group 2 received 0.5% levobupivacaine with main outcome variables of the study intraoperative and postoperative pain, motor sensory onset, akinesia score, and analgesia duration.

Results:

In both the groups, there was no significant difference in terms of age and gender. There was statistical significance between the two groups in terms of motor blockade. There is a significant mean difference between Group 1 and Group 2 when compared with akinesia score with P < 0.05. The pain was less in Group 2 than Group 1. There is no significant difference in both when compared with verbal pain score. Heart rate and blood pressure showed a difference.

Conclusion:

Topical anesthesia with levobupivacaine was more effective than lignocaine surgeries with better analgesia and lesser complication.

A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Use of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Prognostic Marker for Severe Acute Cholecystitis
Authors: Prabhu Tanvi Pravinkumar , Togale Manoj D.
Published: March 2024

Context:

Acute cholecystitis (AC) is one of the most common afflictions of the gastrointestinal system presenting to hospitals whose delayed diagnosis can lead to severe complications. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a new and inexpensive predictor of severe AC that can be used as prognostic biomarker for the stratification of patients for appropriate management.

Aims:

The aims of the study are to determine the usefulness of the NLR as a prognostic marker and to find range that distinguishes between grades of AC and to compare NLR use with white blood cell, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and radiological modalities in the diagnosis of severe AC.

Settings and Design:

This is a 1-year prospective observational study in tertiary care center.

Subjects and Methods:

Demographic data, investigations, and management of 110 patients diagnosed with AC were collected. Categorization in mild, moderate, or severe AC group was based on Tokyo guidelines and NLR was calculated as absolute neutrophil count/absolute lymphocyte count.

Statistical Analysis Used:

One-way analysis of variance.

Results:

Sixty-four were male and 46 were female. 23.64% had severe AC, 30.91% had moderate, and 45.45% had mild AC. Mean hospital stay and intensive care unit stay were more in severe cholecystitis group. Diabetes mellitus was commonly associated comorbidity in severe cholecystitis (35.48%). As per the study, NLR ranges <6.5 in mild, 6.5–10 in moderate, and >10 in severe AC (sensitivity of 97% and specificity of 88%). The cardiovascular system was most commonly affected in severe AC, followed by renal derangement.

Conclusions:

NLR has proved to be a prognostic marker to determine disease severity in patients with AC which will help in appropriate management and better patient outcome.
Structure of singularities in the nonlinear nerve conduction problem
Authors: Karakhanyan Aram
Published: March 2024

We give a characterization of the singular points of the free boundary

\partial \{u>0\}

for viscosity solutions of the nonlinear equation

F(D^{2} u)=-\chi_{\{u>0\}},

where

F

is a fully nonlinear elliptic operator and

\chi

is the characteristic function. This equation models the propagation of a nerve impulse along an axon. We analyze the structure of the free boundary

\partial\{u>0\}

near the singular points where

u

and 

\nabla u

vanish simultaneously. Our method uses the stratification approach developed in Dipierro and the author’s 2018 paper. In particular, when

n=2

we show that near a flat singular free boundary point,

\partial\{u>0\}

is a union of four

C^{1}

arcs tangential to a pair of crossing lines.

Exploring the Relationship between Colonial Education and Nationalism in Indonesia: A Reading of Pramoedya A. Toer’s This Earth of Mankind
Authors: Sunardi FX Dono , Retnaningdyah Pratiwi , Setiawan Slamet
Published: March 2024

Objective: The research investigates the relationship between participation in colonial education and the emergence of nationalism in Indonesia. To better understand this relationship, it mainly analyzes the main character's portrayal of Pramoedya A. Toer's novel, This Earth of Mankind (1990). Method: The study uses a literary analytical approach to explore and interpret the main character's experiences and reactions within the colonial educational system as depicted in the novel. Results: The research concludes that merely undergoing colonial education does not directly lead to the rise of nationalism in Indonesia. Instead, individuals' complex and subjective experiences within this system, particularly navigating identity amidst challenges, foster nationalist sentiments. The protagonist's journey, as depicted in the novel, showcases how these subjective experiences contribute to developing nationalist feelings. Novelty: A distinctive aspect of the study is its emphasis on subjectivity, highlighting how individuals can autonomously and uniquely respond to challenging situations. The research also offers a nuanced perspective on the influence of colonial education on the growth of nationalism in Indonesia, addressing gaps in existing literature and building upon Viswanathan's (1989) inquiry into the mechanisms through which colonial education impacts nationalist sentiments.

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma (SAF): A Case Report
Authors: Aldás Eduardo Garzón
Published: March 2024

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma (SAFM) is a benign soft tissue tumor characterized by the presence of stellate and spindle-shaped cells arranged in a storiform and fascicular pattern. This tumor is relatively rare, benign and slow-growing. If often involves peri- and subungual regions of fingers and toes in middle-aged adults, with a male predominance. This acral fibrous tumor is poorly known and its histology may suggest myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma, which carries a completely different prognosis and treatment. Thus, immunohistochemistry is extremely important to differentiate SAFM from other acral fibrous tumors. We present a case of SAFM that involved the nail matrix with canalicular dystrophy of the nail plate. This finding has not been described in the literature as of the date of publication of this case report. Hence, we believe that it is important to note this presentation so that this disease can be considered in the differential diagnosis of diseases that produce this type of nail dystrophy.

This paper explores the multifaceted aspects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children and adolescents within educational contexts. It investigates the complexity of diagnosing PTSD in this demographic, recognizing the role of cognitive function, expression barriers, and parental influence. Considering the diverse and unique presentations of PTSD symptoms in children, the study highlights the challenges in identifying and treating PTSD among school-age children and adolescents, especially among highly vulnerable populations such as refugees. Through an extensive review of existing literature, the paper compares and contrasts the criteria from DSM-5 and ICD-11 for PTSD diagnosis and evaluates the efficacy of treatment options such as EMDR, CBT, and school-based interventions. The impact of PTSD on academic performance and social integration is emphasized, underlining the implications for educators, mental health professionals, and policy makers. Furthermore, the study calls attention to the co-occurrence of PTSD with other mental health conditions and the significant effects beyond educational achievement, including developmental, social, and cognitive domains. Drawing on current research, it advocates for integrated intervention strategies that promote socio-emotional learning, and underscores the importance of a secure, supportive educational environment.

Authors: Lupea Cristina , Rus Mihaela , Sandu Mihaela Luminița , Rus Ciprian Vasile
Published: March 2024

The choice of this topic is motivated by the crucial relevance of family support in the context of the development of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). In the current educational paradigm, the family is an essential nucleus in facilitating the cognitive, emotional and social progress of these children. The contribution of the family in building a strong foundation of support and motivation can decisively influence the developmental path and social integration of children with ESD. It is therefore imperative to explore in depth the function of the family in the context of these children's lives, as the literature has consistently illustrated the beneficial impact of family involvement on their social, emotional and academic development. Families are catalytic agents in promoting self-confidence, autonomy and adaptability, as well as being a vital support in navigating the intrinsic challenges associated with ASD. This study aims to deepen our understanding of family dynamics and their essential contribution to the education of children with ASD, recognizing the central role they play in shaping their educational and social trajectories. Adopting a holistic perspective in the education of children with ESD requires a synergy between the family, educational institutions and professionals from various fields. A detailed understanding of the role and contribution of the family can facilitate the development of optimised educational strategies and the setting of convergent educational goals aimed at holistically supporting children's development. In addition, the family is a fundamental pillar in promoting the social integration and inclusion of children with ESC. Through family networks, children are supported in developing social skills, establishing interpersonal links and actively participating in community initiatives. This underlines the need for an integrated approach, where family, school and community work closely together to ensure an inclusive and developmental environment for children with SEN.
A Historical Review of Research on the Density-Size Correlation of the Observable Universe
Authors: Thomas Thomas , Nagendra Nipun , Garimella Sreekar , Mitra Shyamal
Published: March 2024

This literature review explores the correlation between the density and size of celestial objects - a key subject in understanding their formation, evolution, and the potential existence of higher-order clusters. It draws attention to the two seminal papers - E. F. Carpenter's density-size correlation study and Gerard De Vaucouleurs's study on matter density in groups and clusters. While acknowledging the limitations and outdated nature of Carpenter's body of work, it underscores the need for a more contemporary, comprehensive examination across various scales from neutron stars to galaxy clusters. The review highlights how such a study can clarify questions surrounding the size and shape of the universe, address Olbers' Paradox, and contribute to theories that describe the universe's origins and dynamics.
The Limitations of Pooling Data - A Review of the Relationship Between Meta-analysis and the Challenges to Finding Non-Medical Ways to Cure Depression
Authors: Shirsekar Niva , Phillips Sophie
Published: March 2024

Meta-analyses are currently the best method available to combine results from different studies and test the efficacy of various treatments. However, many issues such as different forms of treatment or publication bias affecting which results are available arise when trying to combine results from studies testing the effectiveness of a therapy on mental illness. We review three meta analyses studying non-drug therapies for depression. We identify major issues in study quality, publication bias, and heterogeneity between studies within each review, and discuss strategies and limitations for overcoming these issues. We highlight the need for standardized methods to better focus efforts to find effective non-drug therapies.

Furthermore, this paper specifically focuses on hospitals and patients that are directly affected by the impact of ransomware attacks. This writing also includes information about noteworthy attacks in the health sector that have caught the attention of people around the world and how they were addressed. An aspect of Bitcoin has been added as cyber criminals demand ransom money in this currency from their victims. Lastly, this paper mentions steps that can be taken by hospitals to reduce the risk of getting infected by ransomware or what to do during a ransomware attack, such as having preventative safety measures in place with the use of antivirus software and Artificial Intelligence security systems as well has having a response plan during an attack. Apart from the Information Technology team in hospitals practicing these preventative measures, businesses and individuals should put in the time to implement these precautionary steps to ensure that they aren’t victims of ransomware attacks and that no one can gain access to any of their classified information. This paper was written by the researcher in a limited amount of time and the researcher was not able to conduct any of their own trials.  Hence, all the information and data included has been previously collected from researchers around the world.
Who, or Rather, What Painted This? Generation Z's Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Artworks
Authors: Park Juliette , McGee Rhonda
Published: March 2024

Throughout art history, the exact boundaries of what can and cannot be considered art has long been debated, and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that produce artworks has rekindled this debate in the context of technology. History indicates that the answer to what is considered “art” largely depends on the evaluator’s personal definition of creativity and their perception of the artist, which gives reason to investigate people’s attitudes towards AI art. Pre-existing research has discovered a negative perception bias towards AI artists in adult generations. However, no studies have been conducted on Generation Z specifically. Gen Z possesses a close association to technology which distinguishes them from previous generations, and could therefore produce differing attitudes towards AI art. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate: what are Generation Z’s attitudes towards AI art? This study defined “attitudes” to combine attitudes towards the artist, and attitudes towards the artworks. Therefore, a mixed method study consisting of 1) a ratings test to examine any perception biases towards AI artists, and 2) a questionnaire to investigate the criteria Gen Z used to determine value in AI artworks were combined to answer this question. It was concluded that Generation Z had a neutral attitude towards AI artists and responded rather well to AI art styles of landscape paintings.
From Crisis to Consolidation: Hyperinflation’s Role in Hitler’s Rise and Germany’s Economic Resurgence
Authors: Yang Seoyoung
Published: March 2024

The economic trajectory of Germany, transitioning from the Weimar Republic to Nazi dominance, starkly highlights the intimate nexus between political events and economic paradigms. The Weimar Republic, once a beacon of post-war resurgence, grappled with a storm of hyperinflation, misguided economic choices, and the crippling Treaty of Versailles, creating an environment rife with unemployment, social discord, and dwindling trust in governance. This tumultuous backdrop paved the way for Adolf Hitler, whose ascent wasn’t solely a product of charisma but also his pledges of economic rejuvenation and nationalistic fervor. Hitler’s economic overhaul was immediate and transformative: Hjalmar Schacht’s innovative MEFO bills, designed to invigorate the economy without triggering inflation, and the Four-Year Plan, underscoring German autarky, showcased a nation intent on self-sustenance and industrial fortification. Yet, the crux of Hitler’s economic vision lay in a robust rearmament program. While ostensibly an avenue for job creation and industrial revival, this program was unmistakably a blueprint for Hitler’s expansive European ambitions. This narrative encapsulates a rollercoaster journey from the Weimar’s chaotic economic downfall, through Hitler’s opportunistic rise amidst despair, to the Nazi regime’s intricate economic strategies, culminating in a rearmament policy that, while promising prosperity, ominously heralded global conflict. Through this lens, we gain insights into the complex economic machinations that influenced one of history’s most defining epochs.

Authors: Manek Aarav
Published: March 2024

India is home to the world’s 3rd largest startup ecosystem and has produced a plethora of successful startups in the past decade, including Boat, Paytm, and Ola. However, the resurgence of the Angel Tax may hinder current growth and prevent India from reaching its goal of becoming the largest startup ecosystem in the world by 2030. This paper explores the questions: How will the tax affect start-up’s fund-raising efforts? What is the status of representations made by the various stakeholders who have raised genuine concerns on the amendment? Could there be ways to circumvent the hurdles that could impede genuine and legitimate growth in the startup ecosystem? Answering these questions is key to understanding how India’s economy will grow start-ups into world leading companies and as whole progress.
Reasons behind Sleep Deprivation among Adolescents: Evidence from Beijing
Authors: Zhang YuMeng
Published: March 2024

Although current studies have examined the association between multiple variables and sleep deprivation among adolescents, such as the use of electronic devices and stress, few studies managed to disassociate the variables and examine the impact of each one on sleep individually. The objective of this study is to examine which factor between the use of electronic devices, workload, stress and basic psychological needs of an individual has the most impact on sleep duration and quality of adolescents. 16 participants volunteered for this research measuring their sleep and deep sleep through commercially available smart band provided. They self-reported the sleep data recorded along with the amount of time spent on electronic devices and schoolwork, and a rating of workload and stress on a scale of 1-10 through a period of 38 days. Participants then completed a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire and a Self-Determination Theory questionnaire. Results show that stress has the most impact on both sleep duration and quality. The fulfillment of an individual’s psychological needs highly correlates with sleep: the unmet psychological needs directly influence other variables such as stress level which will affect sleep. This research shows inconsistency during data analysis when different method is applied potentially due to time constrain of this research, future research is needed to prove the validity of the finding.
Who Owns the Past? Through the Lens of the Bird of Prophecy
Authors: Yang Ruihan , Cabrita Joel
Published: March 2024

The colonial era saw the forced removal of thousands of objects of African cultural patrimony.  In the decades since the end of the colonial era on the African continent, innumerable calls have been made for the restitution of plundered and looted objects of cultural patrimony currently held by major western museums and private collectors. Through a case study of one such object, the Idiophone: Bird of Prophecy, this paper asks who should have jurisdiction in representing objects of cultural patrimony and the historical narratives in which they are rooted, and considers the role that the return of objects plays in the process of decolonization. This paper also presents an analysis of arguments against, and obstacles to, repatriation, in order to argue that museums today have a responsibility to repatriate objects acquired through looting or other exchanges which exploited colonial indigenous power dynamics.
Socioeconomic Prerequisites and Baseball Participation: Exploring the Dynamics of Youth Involvement and Access
Authors: Nam Eric , DeMarco Michelle
Published: March 2024

Youth participation in baseball has witnessed a decline, with notable losses of 3.7 million players aged 7 to 17 reported from 2002 to 2013. This decline can be attributed to various factors, including the intricate interplay of socioeconomic status, accessibility, and other pertinent dynamics. The sport's demanding financial requirements, coupled with the formidable challenges of achieving collegiate recruitment, compound the issue. This study endeavors to scrutinize the impact of diverse socioeconomic factors and access to sports facilities on the participation in baseball. The analysis revolves around a purposive sample comprising 43 collegiate baseball players, with the aim of unraveling the intricate connections between these factors and their influence on baseball involvement. Through rigorous data collection, meticulous analysis, and thoughtful comparisons against U.S. averages and benchmarks, the study paints a comprehensive picture. The results consistently reveal a compelling correlation between the necessity for socioeconomic advantages and the feasibility of pursuing collegiate baseball. Evidently, parental income analysis underscores that collegiate baseball players exhibit higher average incomes compared to the national median income. An overwhelming majority—90%—of survey participants conform to this higher parental income trend. Subsequent investigations into various other factors converge to a consistent conclusion: securing socioeconomic advantages is pivotal for individuals aspiring to engage with baseball at the collegiate level. In essence, this research shed light to socioeconomic prerequisites that intertwine with the pursuit of collegiate baseball participation, emphasizing the pressing need for equitable access to opportunities within the realm of baseball.
The Connection between Dopamine and Marijuana
Authors: Kulkarni Aastha
Published: March 2024

Known as the most commonly used illegal drug, marijuana has upheld its infamous reputation for decades. This psychoactive drug instills feelings of euphoria and energy when smoked or consumed. As its popularity increases, the perception of the harm induced by marijuana is declining. Uninformed individuals continue to smoke marijuana without considering it risky behavior. Without being aware of the risks that marijuana poses, more individuals are likely to develop addictions. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that has many key roles for both the body and the brain. It is responsible for satisfaction, motivation, motor control, and arousal. Through examination of the molecular structure of dopamine, the molecular structure of marijuana, and dopaminergic pathways in the brain, it is evident that there is a connection between marijuana use and decreased levels of dopamine. Long-term usage of marijuana has been shown to dysregulate the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. The mesolimbic pathway is a branch of neurons projecting from the ventral augmented area to the ventral striatum. Major functions of this pathway include addiction, pleasure, and reward-seeking behavior. Based on these defenses, there is a reasonable conclusion that chronic marijuana use leads to lower levels of dopamine in the brain.
