The pharmacological treatment of migraine may be acute or preventive. Frequent, Severe, complicated and long lasting migraine attacks, more than 2 attacks in month require prophylaxis. Traditional preventive drugs such as ?-Blockers, antidepressants, calcium blockers and anticonvulsants, despite their documented efficacy, have many side effects. This study was conducted to determine the effect ...

during the past two decades, a variety of serum or cerebrospinal fluid (csf) biochemical markers in daily clinical practice have been recommended to diagnose and monitor diverse diseases or pathologic situations. it will be essential to develop a panel of biomarkers, to be suitable for evaluation of treatment efficacy, representing distinct phases of injury and recovery and consider the tempora...

mobile ad-hoc networks (manets) by contrast of other networks have more vulnerability because of having nature properties such as dynamic topology and no infrastructure. therefore, a considerable challenge for these networks, is a method expansion that to be able to specify anomalies with high accuracy at network dynamic topology alternation. in this paper, two methods proposed for dynamic anom...

panic attacks are discrete episodes of intense fear or discomfort accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, derealization and a fear of losing control or dying. although panic attacks are required for a diagnosis of panic disorder, they also occur in association with a host of other disorders listed in the 5h version of the diagnostic and statistica...

A unified method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems is theoretically introduced. It is based on estimating a dispersion measure of numerical or symbolic data on successive moving windows in time and finding the times when a relative change of the dispersion measure is significant. Appropriate dispersion measures, relative differences, moving windows, as well as tec...

The paper here presented was motivated by a case study involving high-dimensional and high-frequency tidal volume traces measured during induced panic attacks. The focus was to develop a procedure to determine the significance of whether a mean curve dominates another one. The key idea of the suggested method relies on preserving the order in mean while reducing the dimension of the data. The o...

Statistical methods for detecting changes in longitudinal time series of psychophysiological data are limited. ANOVA and mixed models are not designed to detect the existence, timing, or duration of unknown changes in such data. Change point (CP) analysis was developed to detect distinct changes in time series data. Preliminary reports using CP analysis for fMRI data are promising. Here, we ill...

We prospectively examined the relationship between individuals' belief in a just world and their desire for revenge against the perpetrators of the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. Eighty-three undergraduate students who had completed a measure of just-world beliefs prior to the terrorist attacks were assessed approximately 2 months following the attacks. The more stron...

war has devastating implications for families, communities, cultures, economies, and state infrastructure. similarly, the last decade has seen an increase in the number of attacks against health workers in conflict zones and unstable environments. unfortunately, these attacks have grave consequences for local populations which often rely on foreign aid programs for their health and well-being. ...
