Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may benefit migraine improvement, though prior studies are inconclusive. This study evaluated the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on episodic (EM) prevention. Seventy individuals with EM participated in a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial from March 2020 and May 2022. They were randomly assigned to either EPA (N = 35, 2 g fish oil 1.8 mg as stand-alone treatment daily), or placebo group soybean daily). Migraine...
Background and Purpose— Previous studies have shown regional temporal variations in epidemiological features of moyamoya disease, but population-based regions other than Japan are limited. We investigated the incidence patients characteristics disease during 12 years Taiwan using claims databases a universal health insurance system. Methods— From inpatient National Health Insurance program, we identified subjects who had an initial hospitalization with been underwent cerebral angiography as...
Objective ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP), member 1 (ABCB1) is a drug transporter protein expressed on the epithelial cells of intestine and endothelial blood–brain barrier. Intestinal ABCB1 actively transports drugs from cell membrane prevents them entering blood stream whereas barrier central nervous system. In this study, we tested whether genetic polymorphisms within gene are associated with severity depression effectiveness antidepressant, escitalopram (S-CIT), in treating...
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are characterized by obesity, menstruation irregularity, hirsutism and infertility, prevalent cardiometabolic comorbidities, but population-based studies on the risk of developing coronary artery disease limited.
