Headache and Comorbidities in Childhood and Adolescence Headache Headache Series Editor: Paolo Martelletti Vincenzo Guidetti Marco A. Arruda Aynur Ozge Editors Headache and Comorbidities in Childhood and Adolescence Headache Series Editor Paolo Martelletti Roma, Italy [email protected] The purpose of this Series, endorsed by the European Headache Federation (EHF), is to describe in detail all aspects of headache disorders that are of importance in primary care and the hospital setting, including pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, comorbidities, and issues in particular patient groups. A key feature of the Series is its multidisciplinary approach, and it will have wide appeal to internists, rheumatologists, neurologists, pain doctors, general practitioners, primary care givers, and pediatricians. Readers will find that the Series assists not only in understanding, recognizing, and treating the primary headache disorders, but also in identifying the potentially dangerous underlying causes of secondary headache disorders and avoiding mismanagement and overuse of medications for acute headache, which are major risk factors for disease aggravation. Each volume is designed to meet the needs of both more experienced professionals and medical students, residents, and trainees.

The prevailing tendency has been to frame this pathology as the direct consequence of personal or familiar psychological suffering. The inad- equate availability of pharmacological tools assessed for primary headaches in the developmental age has eased this approach. Moreover, every decade the biological vision of primary headache changes its mechanism of action highlighting how a clear marker of illness, detectable and reliable on large populations, is still missing. Therefore, new drugs face the hard task of finding a direct application on adoles- cents, both for strictly regulatory reasons and for preferential rules of clinical activ- ity in these patients. This fifth product of the European Headache Federation Headache Book Series rigorously faces these problems and highlights the clinical and mechanistic features conjugating all the aspects related to headache in the childhood, even the ones shared with other pathologies. The common denominator, ‘comorbidity’, offers a comprehensive interpretation of this headache area and the renowned authors of these contributions guarantee a high, independent and trustworthy profile. I am honoured to introduce this valuable volume edited by Vincenzo Guidetti, Marco A. Arruda and Aynur Ozge, and acknowledge the umpteenth support by the European Headache Federation to the systematization and the dissemination of the headache culture. Rome, Italy Paolo Martelletti v [email protected] Preface “The cure for the headache was a kind of a leaf, which required to be accompanied by a charm, and if a person would repeat the charm at the same time that he used the cure, he would be made whole; but that without the charm the leaf would be of no avail.” Socrates, according to Plato [1] The expressive development of childhood headache knowledge can be easily visual- ized through a mere PubMed search. Using the keywords headache, child and ado- lescent, and solely the age filter, the reader can check the volume growth of publications year by year, decade by decade. The same advance can be observed by limiting the search to only clinical trials. From the first paper on childhood head- ache registered in this digital archive in 1948 to the early 1990s, we have a total of 1121 papers, number that doubles throughout the “Decade of the Brain” reaching 1253 at the beginning of 2010, up to now 1748. The same occurs with migraine as shown in the following PubMed publications’ timeline. vii [email protected] viii Preface A milestone in this trajectory is the pioneering and seminal work of Professor Bo Bille of Uppsala University in Sweden who in 1962 published his thesis Migraine in Schoolchildren [2]. The evolution of knowledge occurred in several areas, however, in an expressive way in the classification, diagnosis, and epidemiology of childhood headache. Particularly noteworthy are the emergence of prevalence studies around the world, studies on the impact of headache in children and adolescents, and the identification of comorbidities of migraine in this age group. The impact of this breakthrough was notable in clinical practice. From the 196 possible headache diagnoses that appear in the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) [3], 113 have been described in pediatric population [4]. The studies have provided evidence that not only migraine but also other primary and even secondary headaches have a peculiar clinical pre- sentation in childhood and adolescence. The study of migraine comorbidities in childhood and adolescence, the reason for this book, is extremely important in clinical practice, both for diagnostic issues and for the management and treatment efficacy of these patients [5, 6]. It is critical to recognize the presence of comorbid conditions in the clinical assessment of headache patients, especially in children and adolescents, as early identification of these symptoms may lead to improved headache management [7, 8]. Moreover, the identification of comorbid disorders in headache could provide modern treatment options and improve the knowledge about causes and conse- quences of headache [9]. A striking and distinctive aspect of this book is the editorial norm of the author- ship of chapters being entrusted to authors from different countries, often different continents, which resulted in a cooperative work that contemplates different medi- cal realities. This experience is certainly reflected in these pages that we hope to please the reader. Ribeirão Preto, Brazil Marco A. Arruda Mersin, Turkey Aynur Ozge Rome, Italy Vincenzo Guidetti References 1.

  • Definition a Migraine Is a Common Type of Headache That May Occur
    Definition A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, usually vision disturbances, that serve as a warning sign that a bad headache is coming. Most people, however, do not have such warning signs. See also: • Migraine without aura (no warning symptoms) • Migraine with aura (visual disturbances before the headache starts) • Mixed tension migraine (features of both migraines and tension headache) Alternative Names Headache - migraine Causes, incidence, and risk factors A lot of people get migraines -- about 11 out of 100. The headaches tend to start between the ages of 10 and 46 and may run in families. Migraines occur more often in women than men. Pregnancy may reduce the number of migraines attacks. At least 60 percent of women with a history of migraines have fewer such headaches during the last two trimesters of pregnancy. Until the 1980s, scientists believed that migraines were due to changes in blood vessels within the brain. Today, most believe the attack actually begins in the brain itself, and involves various nerve pathways and chemicals in the brain. A migraine attack can be triggered by stress, food, environmental changes, or some other factor. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. Migraine attacks may be triggered by: • Allergic reactions

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

Knight Department of German Duke University Date:_____March 1, 2011_______ Approved: ___________________________ William Collins Donahue, Supervisor ___________________________ Matthew Cohen ___________________________ Jochen Vogt ___________________________ Jakob Norberg An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of German in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Mary L. Knight 2011 Abstract This study investigates how an ambivalence surrounding men and masculinity has been expressed and exploited in Pop literature since the late 1980s, focusing on works by German-speaking authors Christian Kracht and Benjamin Lebert and American author Bret Easton Ellis. I compare works from the United States with German and Swiss novels in an attempt to reveal the scope – as well as the national particularities – of these troubled gender identities and what it means in the context of recent debates about a “crisis” in masculinity in Western societies. My comparative work will also highlight the ways in which these particular literatures and cultures intersect, invade, and influence each other. In this examination, I demonstrate the complexity and success of the critical projects subsumed in the works of three authors too often underestimated by intellectual communities.

  • The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on the Number of Migraine Days, Duration
    Lemmens et al. The Journal of Headache and Pain (2019) 20:16 The Journal of Headache https://doi.org/10.1186/s10194-019-0961-8 and Pain REVIEWARTICLE Open Access The effect of aerobic exercise on the number of migraine days, duration and pain intensity in migraine: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis Joris Lemmens1, Joke De Pauw1, Timia Van Soom1, Sarah Michiels1,2,3, Jan Versijpt4, Eric van Breda1, René Castien5,6 and Willem De Hertogh1* Abstract Background: In patients with frequent migraine, prophylactic treatments are used. Patients often request non- pharmacological alternatives. One treatment option can be aerobic exercise. The value of aerobic exercise as prophylactic treatment however needs to be determined. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate the result of aerobic exercise on the number of migraine days, duration and pain intensity in patients with migraine. After screening three online databases, PubMed, Cochrane library and Web of Science, using predefined in- and exclusion criteria, six studies were retained. Pooling of data was performed when possible. Results: Significant reductions in the number of migraine days after aerobic exercise treatment were found with a mean reduction of 0.6 ± 0.3 migraine days/month. Other outcomes were too variable to pool due to heterogeneity of outcome measurements. Unpooled data revealed small to moderate reductions in attack duration (20–27%) and pain intensity (20–54%) after aerobic exercise intervention. Various exercise intensities are applied. Conclusion: There is moderate quality evidence that in patients with migraine aerobic exercise therapy can decrease the number of migraine days.
