Abstract
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by dystonia, cognitive deficits, and an asymmetric akinetic-rigid syndrome. Little information is available regarding anesthetic management for CBD patients. Our patient was a 55-year-old man with CBD complicated by central sleep apnea (CSA). Due to the risk of perioperative breathing instability associated with anesthetic use, a laryngeal mask airway was used during anesthesia with propofol. Spontaneous respiration was stable under general anesthesia. However, respiratory depression occurred following surgery, necessitating insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway. Since no respiratory depression had occurred during maintenance of the airway using the laryngeal mask, we suspected an upper airway obstruction caused by displacement of the tongue due to residual propofol. Residual anesthetics may cause postoperative respiratory depression in patients with CBD. Therefore, continuous postoperative monitoring of SpO2 and preparations to support postoperative ventilation are necessary.

Looking for something to help with my…everything
I have a laundry list of conditions, both physical and mental. I am looking at a few different types of CBD, namely vape juices and flowers. I am looking for strains that help with anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, mood swings, and nerve and joint pain. I take medication for all of these things, but these conditions still plague my life. Are there any specific strains or flowers I should be looking at?

Recipes for making CBD Flower into gummies?
My wife uses the CBD flower and I was thinking about making her flower into gummies. A friend of her gave her 2 ounces of flower, but that’s way too much for her to use before it goes bad. I tried googling some stuff but it’s all pretty confusing and it was like factory production of CBD. Any info this group may have will be very helpful!
