Nowadays, premortem diagnosis of NBTE possible based on echocardiographic findings. Therefore, better characterise this disease, we performed contemporary review the epidemiology, demographics, and clinical outcomes these patients. <h3>Methods</h3> Adults with seen within Mayo Clinic Enterprise from December 2014 2021 were...
People who have a disease often experience stigma, socially and culturally embedded process through which individuals stereotyping, devaluation, discrimination. Stigma has great impact on quality of life, behavior, life chances.

Hemicrania continua is an indomethacin-responsive headache disorder characterized by a continuous, moderate to severe, unilateral headache. More than 90 cases of hemicrania have been reported, but there still uncertainty about its clinical features.The authors compared 34 new (24 women, 10 men) with previously reported cases. All the patients met Goadsby and Lipton's proposed criteria. The baseline (continuous background headache) exacerbation (attacks severe periods headaches).The was...
Objective.—To determine whether there are any differences in health‐related quality of life between patients with migraine and those transformed migraine.

Data collected included Short Form‐36 (SF‐36) Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaires as well demographic information. Both these forms part initial evaluation A t test Bonferroni correction...
To compare the clinical features of patients with chronic daily headache (CDH) idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema (IIHWOP) to those normal CSF pressure.A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary center. Cases consisted 25 consecutive (24 women, 1 man, 38 +/- 6 years) IIHWOP diagnosed between June 1989 and 1996. if pressure 200 mm on two occasions there no papilledema.

Introduction: Triptans, the most commonly prescribed acute treatments for migraine attacks are, per FDA labeling, contraindicated in cardiovascular (CV) disease patients and have warnings precautions those with CV risk factors. Methods: Headache specialists, cardiologists, health economics outcomes researchers convened to identify diagnostic codes for: (1) diseases contraindicating triptans based on labeling; (2) conditions comprising “other significant underlying disease”; (3) factors...
Olanzapine, a thienobenzodiazepine, is new "atypical" antipsychotic drug. Olanzapine's pharmacologic properties suggest it would be effective for headaches, and its propensity inducing acute extrapyramidal reactions or tardive dyskinesia relatively low. We thus decided to assess the value of olanzapine in treatment chronic refractory headache.We reviewed records 50 patients with headache who were treated at least 3 months. All previously had failed four preventative medications. The daily...

1. Details of clinical, radiological, biochemical and histological investigations a case metaphysial dysostosis are presented. 2. The patient was boy seven years, showed widespread lesions (involving long bones limbs, small hands feet, pelvis, clavicles, ribs) characterised by retardation growth ossification with masses partly calcified tissue in the metaphyses. 3.

Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are benign tumors that may cause brief, severe headache and, rarely, death. We present a patient with frequent, episodic, headaches 2 weeks' duration who suddenly became obtunded. reviewed literature on symptomatology colloid and conclude any patient: less than 1‐year history suggestive ventricular cyst causing should be aggressively investigated.
