Cannabis in the Treatment of...

Pharmacology University

Welcome to explore this wonderful audiobook in which you will learn about the benefits of cannabis sativa as a treatment for anxiety.
At the beginning you will surely have some doubts such as: what is anxiety? How do I know if I suffer from it? Read it with us and find out.
Anxiety disorder is a collection of mental health conditions, characterized by ambiguous situations, by a disproportionate concern about future events that provoke physiological and behavioral responses, which prepare the individual for defense or flight.
Worldwide, the estimated number of people with anxiety disorders totaled 264 million in 2015, a consequence of population growth and aging. In the Americas Region, it is estimated that up to 7.7% of the female population suffers from anxiety disorders (3.6% of men). Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis for the management and control of these conditions and to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from them.
In this audiobook, you will understand how molecules derived from the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids, could be indicated for the effective treatment of patients diagnosed with this disorder. For this it is important to know the evolutionary history of anxiety, epidemiology, risk factors and how the diagnosis is made, the endocannabinoid system and its distribution in the body, its receptors and all the wonderful homeostatic-physiological functions it performs in our central nervous system, as well as clinical studies showing that phytocannabinoids, especially CBD, works as a possible anxiolytic treatment, for a satisfactory clinical evolution.
Learn more about the incredible medical cannabis and how it can improve the quality of life of those suffering from anxiety disorder. We invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

Robotics and Automation -...

Craig Dames

Robotics and automation have rapidly evolved from niche technological concepts to central pillars of modern industry and society. What once belonged to the realm of science fiction is now an integral part of how we produce, communicate, transport, and even care for one another. Understanding the foundations of these technologies is essential to grasp how they are reshaping the future of work. 
The journey of robotics dates back to ancient times with early mechanical inventions, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that programmable machines began to take shape. The term "robot" gained popularity in the early 1920s, yet the real development of industrial robotics didn’t gain momentum until the 1960s, when the first robotic arms were introduced into assembly lines. Since then, robotics has grown exponentially, encompassing everything from humanoid robots to autonomous drones and AI-driven service machines. 
Automation, often linked closely with robotics, refers to the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. While automation began with simple mechanical devices, today it incorporates advanced software, machine learning algorithms, and sensor networks. Modern automation extends beyond factories and is now seen in financial services, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, and even our homes. From smart thermostats to self-checkout systems, the influence of automation is becoming ever more visible in daily life.
