Does radical prostatectomy lower plasma vascular endothelial growth factor levels in patients with prostate cancer?

Cocaine-induced psychosis is frequent in crack cocaine smokers in Martinique, and early cannabis use is associated with the occurrence and the severity of psychotic symptoms during cocaine intoxication in this population. Patients developing psychotic symptoms during cocaine use began smoking cannabis earlier during adolescence than patients without CIP. These results confirm those of previous studies, highlighting the need to better assess early cannabis use in cocaine users, because early cannabis use is associated with severity of CIP.
