BACKGROUND
In adult studies the MTHFR C677T polymorphism has been associated with an increased risk of migraine, but little research has been done in this area in children.
METHODS
A retrospective study of children referred with headache to a tertiary level Paediatric Neurology Service between 2008
A 4-year-old female patient presents to the pediatric emergency department with acute onset of ataxia and occipital headache. Initial investigation, including computed tomography imaging, failed to demonstrate any focal neurologic lesion. Subsequent studies, however, reveal an acute thrombosis of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and abnormalities of haemostasis in children and adolescents with migraine with aura (MA) compared with peers affected by other idiopathic headaches.
METHODS
We recruited 20 MA patients (10 men and 10 women; age range 8-17 years)
BACKGROUND
An association between the 677C>T polymorphism (rs1801133) in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) and cluster headache is plausible, but has not been investigated.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate this association among Caucasians.
METHODS
Case-control study among 147 cluster
A 46-yr-old airline captain with many exposures to altitude chamber, fighter, and airliner flight developed migraine-type headaches after exposure to cabin altitudes above 6,000 feet. He had no prior history of chronic headaches or migraine. Symptoms began within days of starting pravastatin for
Although controversial, diminished activity of 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), a regulatory enzyme of homocysteine metabolism, may predispose to migraine in Turkish people. In a case-control study, we determined the prevalence of two common MTHFR polymorphisms,C677T and A1298C, in
OBJECTIVE
To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, drug interactions, and dosing recommendations of dutasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
METHODS
A MEDLINE search (1966-February 2006) was conducted to extract human research data in
Homozygosity for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T mutation (MTHFR TT) has been linked to an increased risk for stroke, coronary artery disease, and migraine headaches. The authors analyzed the potential link between MTHFR 677C>T homozygosity and childhood stroke. A true
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular anomalies that develop in the central nervous system and, more rarely, the retina. The lesions can cause headache, seizures, focal neurological deficits, and hemorrhagic stroke. Symptomatic lesions are treated according to their
Recent advances in genetic analysis of migraine headache are reviewed. Point mutations of P/Q -type Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunit(CACNA1A) gene and Na-K ATPase, alpha2 (ATP1A2) gene have been identified in the familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM-1 and FHM-2, respectively). Mutations in notch-3 gene
The potential mutual interaction between cerivastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, and digoxin was assessed in this nonmasked, nonrandomized, multiple-dose study. The effect of cerivastatin 0.2 mg on mean plasma digoxin levels and the effect of digoxin on the
The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have been shown to cause marked reduction of cholesterol and offer a new and effective approach to treatment of hyperlipoproteinemia. Three agents, pravastatin (P), lovastatin (L) and simvastatin (S), have been studied with reference to long-term lipid-lowering
Migraine is a common form of the chronic headache syndromes. Although the pathogenesis of migraine still remains enigmatic, there have been remarkable progress in headache research. Point mutations of P/Q-type Ca2+ channel alpha 1 subunit (CACNA1A) gene have been identified in familial hemiplegic
Migraine patients are particularly prone to develop medication overuse headache (MOH). However, the risk factors for the transformation of migraine to MOH are still not clear. We investigated gene polymorphisms, personality traits, and characteristics of headache and lifestyle in 47 migraine
BACKGROUND
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare disease and it has different etiologies. Inherited or acquired prothrombotic state plays a key role in the development of CVT.
METHODS
A 28-year-old man who presented to our emergency department with persistent headache and accompanied by
