Twenty patients with complex neuropsychologic symptoms associated with classic migraine were selected from a group of 200 patients with vascular headache. Twenty types of symptoms were found and grouped into six categories (language, visual symptoms, cognitive-dysmnesic symptoms, olfactory-gustatory hallucinations, automatisms, and somatosensory symptoms). Some of the symptoms found have appare...

One hypothesized cause of low-tension glaucoma is chronic or intermittent ischemia of the optic nerve. Since the optic nerve and brain are both parts of the central nervous system and share a common blood supply, the authors wondered if patients with low-tension glaucoma might also have clinical or radiographic evidence of cerebral atrophy. In this study, 27 patients with low-tension glaucoma w...

BACKGROUND Headache is a common complaint in children. With the proliferation of brain imaging centers and the increasing patient demand for CT or MRI studies, brain imaging has become widely used to evaluate headache and exclude malignant lesion. The objectives of this descriptive study were to assess the appropriateness and outcomes of computed tomography brain scanning for headaches in paedi...

background: the prevalence of migraine headaches significantly increased in girls after menarche. this indicated that there is a closely relation between hormonal changes especially the estrogen level with migraine headaches. objectives: the aim of this work was to determine the frequency of migraine and its associated factors in medical students affected with premenstrual syndrome (pms). mater...

background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...

The effects of ergotamine and dihydroergotamine on cerebral blood flow was investigated 4 hours after i.v. injection as these drugs might be of importance for migraine treatment. Eight normal male volunteers (not suffering from migraine) received 0.5 mg ergotamine and 1 mg dihydroergotamine i.v. Cerebral blood flow was measured by the xenon-133 inhalation method and single-photon-emission compu...

This article is devoted to two different generalizations of projective Boolean algebras: openly generated Boolean algebras and tightly σ-filtered Boolean algebras. We show that for every uncountable regular cardinal κ there are 2 pairwise non-isomorphic openly generated Boolean algebras of size κ > א1 provided there is an almost free non-free abelian group of size κ. The openly generated Boolea...

We report clinically rare and serious adverse reactions that occurred after the co-administration of ranitidine, ibuprofen and ciprofloxacin: completely reversible aseptic meningitis and irreversible bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibulopathy. Recurrent urinary inflammations treated with antibacterials, classic familial migraine, and allergy to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxaz...
