Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful tool that can help physicians manage primary brain tumours at diagnosis and follow-up. In this context, PET imaging is used with three main types of radiotracers: 18 F-FDG, amino acid radiotracers, and 68 Ga conjugated to somatostatin receptor ligands (SSTRs). At initial diagnosis, 18 F-FDG helps to characterize primary central nervous system (PCNS) lymphomas and high-grade gliomas, amino acid radiotracers are indicated for gliomas, and SSTR PET ligands are indicated for meningiomas...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies in headache patients measured the cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in response to photic stimulation but they have yielded contradictory results. The purpose of study was to measure CVR of both migraine and chronic tension headache (TTH) patients in response to photic stimulation. METHODS: The study included 37 migraineurs and 24 chronic TTH patients compared with 50 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Peak systolic, end diastolic, mean flow velocities and CVR (PSV, EDV, MFV, and CVR) were measured using TCD ultrasonography of the middle, anterior, posterior cerebral and vertebral arteries (MCA, ACA, PCA, and VA) before and after 100 s of 14 Hz photic stimulation...

BACKGROUND: Headache is among the most frequent symptoms of acute COVID-19 infection. Its mechanisms remain obscure, but due to its migraine-like characteristics, the activation of the trigeminal system could account for its underlying pathophysiology. METHODS: Our aim was to compare the serum levels of CGRP, as a theoretical marker of trigemino-vascular activation, in 25 COVID-19 inpatients with lung involvement experiencing headache, against 15 COVID-19 inpatients without headache and with those of 25 matched healthy controls with no headache history...

Nearly 10% of children and adolescents in the United States experience migraine. Pharmacologic treatment of migraine in adolescents is limited due to only few US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications, limited efficacy, or lack of tolerability. Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) is a nonpharmacologic abortive treatment for migraine, cleared by the FDA for patients aged 12 years and above. This study evaluated real-world efficacy of REN in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. Real-world data were collected from patients aged 12 to 17 years treated with the REN device (Nerivio) from January 1, 2021, to May 31, 2022...

BACKGROUND: Whether ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a valuable therapeutic option for the treatment of patients with chronic migraine (CM) is worth exploring. If SGB is proven to be effective for CM, the identification of potential predictors for the effectiveness of SGB warrants further investigation. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of SGB in patients with CM, and to explore the predictive factors for its treatment effectiveness. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study...

BACKGROUND: A new migraine prevention, CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), is injectable on a monthly or quarterly basis. In clinical practice, some patients reported that drug effectiveness does not last until the upcoming scheduled injection, a so-called "wearing-off" effect. We aimed to evaluate the wearing-off effect of the CGRP mAbs for migraine prevention in patients with different monthly migraine days. METHODS: We conducted a literature search for studies that reported migraine frequency after CGRP monoclonal antibody administration from MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database from inception through February 2022...

Large-scale epidemiological studies suggest that veterans may have poorer physical health than nonveterans, but this has been largely unexamined in post-9/11 veterans despite research indicating their high levels of disability and healthcare utilization. Additionally, little investigation has been conducted on sex-based differences and interactions by veteran status. Notably, few studies have explored veteran physical health in relation to national health guidelines. Self-reported, weighted data were analyzed on post-9/11 U...

BACKGROUND: Mesenteric ischemia has remained without effective pharmacological management for many years. Sumatriptan, an abortive medication for migraine and cluster headaches, has potent anti-inflammatory properties and ameliorated organ ischemia in previous animal studies. Similarly, inhibition of the kynurenine pathway ameliorated renal and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in many preclinical studies. Herein, we assessed the effect of sumatriptan on experimental mesenteric I/R and investigated whether kynurenine pathway inhibition is a mechanism underlying its action...

OBJECTIVE: The sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI) is a valid paradigm to study multisensorial perception. In the "fission" SIFI, multiple flashes are perceived when observing a single flash paired with two or more beeps. SIFI is largely dependent on visual and acoustic cortex excitability; in migraine, dysfunctional cortical excitability affects SIFI perception. Since estrogen peak occurring during ovulation can increase neuronal excitability, the present study aims to verify whether cortical excitability shifts linked to the menstrual cycle could influence SIFI...
