Abstract
Background Stroke is an important cause of morbidity in pediatrics. Large studies are needed to better understand the epidemiology, pathogenesis and risk factors associated with pediatric stroke. Large administrative datasets can provide information on risk factors in perinatal and childhood stroke at low cost. The aim of this hypothesis-generating study was to use a large administrative dataset to assess for prevalence and odds-ratios of rare exposures associated with pediatric stroke. Methods The data for patients aged 0-18 with a diagnosis of either ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage were extracted from the Cerner Health Facts EMR Database from 2000 to 2018. Prevalence of various possible risk factors for pediatric and adult stroke was assessed using ICD 9 and 10 codes. Odds ratios were calculated using a control group of patients without stroke. Results 10,688 children were identified with stroke. 6339 (59 %) were ischemic and 4349 (41 %) were hemorrhagic. The most frequently identified risk factors for ischemic stroke across age groups were hypertension (29-44 %), trauma (19-33 %), and malignancy (11-24 %). The most common risk factors seen with hemorrhagic stroke were trauma (32-64 %), malignancy (5-19 %) and arrhythmia (9-12 %). Odds ratios across all age groups for dyslipidemia (17-64), hypertension (20-63), and tobacco exposure (3-59) were high in the ischemic stroke cohort. Conclusion This is the largest retrospective study of pediatric stroke of its kind from hospitals across the US in both academic and non-academic clinical settings. Much of our data was consistent with prior studies. ICD codes for tobacco exposure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension all had high odds ratios for stroke in children, which suggest a relationship between these conditions and pediatric stroke. However, ascertainment bias is a major concern with electronic health record-based studies. More focused study is needed into the role of these exposures into the pathogenesis of pediatric stroke.

Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders was developed by WHO to address the worldwide challenges and gaps in provision of care and services for people with epilepsy and other neurological disorders and to ensure a comprehensive, coordinated response across sectors to the burden of neurologic diseases and to promote brain health across life-course. Headache disorders constitute the second most burdensome of all neurological diseases after stroke, but the first if young and midlife adults are taken into account. Despite the availability of a range of treatments, disability associated with headache disorders, and with migraine, remains very high. In addition, there are inequalities between high-income and low and middle income countries in access to medical care. In line with several brain health initiatives following the WHOiGAP resolution, herein we tailor the main pillars of the action plan to headache disorders: (1) raising policy prioritization and strengthen governance; (2) providing effective, timely and responsive diagnosis, treatment and care; (3) implementing strategies for promotion and prevention; (4) fostering research and innovation and strengthen information systems. Specific targets for future policy actions are proposed. The Global Action Plan triggered a revolution in neurology, not only by increasing public awareness of brain disorders and brain health but also by boosting the number of neurologists in training, raising research funding and making neurology a public health priority for policy makers. Reducing the burden of headache disorders will not only improve the quality of life and wellbeing of people with headache but also reduce the burden of neurological disorders increasing global brain health and, thus, global population health.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Family History of Major Thrombotic Events in Children with Migraine: A 12-Year Retrospective Single-Centre Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12072582. [PMID: 37048668 PMCID: PMC10095463 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Migraine is one of the most frequent primary headaches in childhood. The role of thrombotic predisposition in its pathogenesis is debated. Our aim was to analyse the cardiovascular risk factors and family history of major thrombotic events in children with migraine. METHODS A retrospective, single-centre study was performed over 12 years. Our headache centre record database was screened for migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO) on the basis of the ICHD-II (until 2013) and III criteria. A control group of otherwise healthy children was recruited. Descriptive and multivariate analyses are provided; significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Migraine was diagnosed in 930 children (24.7% MA); 73.3% were 9-14 years old. Children with MA were older (p < 0.001). A family history of cerebral ischemic events at ≤50 years old was more commonly reported by children with MA than those with MO (p < 0.001) and those in the control group (p = 0.001). Children with MA showed a higher risk of a family history of cerebral ischemic events at ≤50 years old than children with MO (OR: 2.6) and those in the control group (OR: 3.1). When comparing the family history of DVT, we observed a significantly increased risk for MA vs. MO (OR: 2.9). CONCLUSION A family history of cerebral ischemic events at ≤50 years old leads to an increased risk of MA. Further studies are needed to explore such an association.

Abstract
From the point of view of prevention, it is convenient to explore the association between eating behavior and the obese phenotype during school and adolescent age. The aim of the present study was to identify eating behavior patterns associated with nutritional status in Spanish schoolchildren. A cross-sectional study of 283 boys and girls (aged 6 to 16 years) was carried out. The sample was evaluated anthropometrically by Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body fat percentage (%BF). Eating behavior was analyzed using the CEBQ "Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire". The subscales of the CEBQ were significantly associated with BMI, WHtR and %BF. Pro-intake subscales (enjoyment of food, food responsiveness, emotional overeating, desire for drinks) were positively related to excess weight by BMI (β = 0.812 to 0.869; p = 0.002 to <0.001), abdominal obesity (β = 0.543-0.640; p = 0.02 to <0.009) and high adiposity (β = 0.508 to 0.595; p = 0.037 to 0.01). Anti-intake subscales (satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating, food fussiness) were negatively related to BMI (β = -0.661 to -0.719; p = 0.009 to 0.006) and % BF (β = -0.17 to -0.46; p = 0.042 to p = 0.016).

Abstract
Previous studies suggest that the most common cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in children and adolescents is arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). However, an update containing recently published data on pediatric spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages is lacking. The aim of this study is to systematically analyze the published data on the etiologies and risk factors of pediatric spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. This systematic review was performed in compliance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A search in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library was conducted aiming for articles published in year 2000 and later, containing data on etiology and risk factors of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages in unselected cohorts of patients aged between 1 month and 18 years. As a result, forty studies were eligible for data extraction and final analysis. These included 7931 children and adolescents with 4009 reported etiologies and risk factors. A marked variety of reported etiologies and risk factors among studies was observed. Vascular etiologies were the most frequently reported cause of pediatric spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages (n = 1727, 43.08% of all identified etiologies or risk factors), with AVMs being the most common vascular cause (n = 1226, 70.99% of all vascular causes). Hematological and systemic causes, brain tumors, intracranial infections and cardiac causes were less commonly encountered risk factors and etiologies.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Early detection of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) plays a crucial role in reducing negative effects on everyday life, including academic failure and poor social functioning. Children who survive ischemic strokes risk major disabilities, but their risk of ADHD has not been studied in nationwide cohorts. OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of ADHD in children after pediatric ischemic stroke. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Participants in this Swedish nationwide cohort study included 1320 children diagnosed with ischemic stroke recorded in linked Swedish national registers from January 1, 1969, to December 31, 2016, without prior ADHD diagnosis. Ten matched controls were identified for each index case, and first-degree relatives were identified for index individuals and controls. Analyses were stratified by perinatal and childhood strokes and presence of comorbid adverse motor outcomes and/or epilepsy. End of follow-up was the date of ADHD diagnosis, death, or December 31, 2016, whichever occurred first. Data analyses were performed August 1 to 28, 2021. EXPOSURES Pediatric ischemic stroke. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder identified using codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, and/or prescribed ADHD medication recorded in the Medical Birth Register, National Patient Register, or Prescribed Drug Register after stroke. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for ADHD after pediatric stroke, adjusting for parental age and ADHD in first-degree relatives. RESULTS Of 1320 children with stroke included in the analysis (701 boys [53.1%]), 75 (45 boys [60.0%]) were diagnosed with ADHD after stroke compared with 376 (252 boys [67.0%]) among the controls (aHR, 2.00 [95% CI, 1.54-2.60]). The risk was increased after both perinatal (aHR, 2.75 [95% CI ,1.65-4.60]) and childhood (aHR, 1.82 [95% CI, 1.34-2.48]) strokes and were similar if children born preterm or small for gestational age were excluded. Compared with controls, risks of ADHD were higher among children with perinatal stroke and adverse motor outcomes and/or epilepsy (aHR, 6.17 [95% CI, 2.80-13.62]) than among those without these comorbidities (aHR, 1.65 [95% CI, 0.80-3.42]). However, findings were similar in childhood stroke for children with adverse motor outcomes and/or epilepsy (aHR, 1.80 [95% CI, 1.12-2.89]) and among those without these comorbidities (aHR, 1.92 [95% CI, 1.28-2.90]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This cohort study of 1320 children with pediatric ischemic stroke suggests that there is an increased risk of ADHD, particularly in children with adverse motor outcomes and/or epilepsy, compared with controls. The risk increases after childhood strokes regardless of comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of studies have shown an association between migraine and cardiovascular disease, in particular cardio- and cerebro-vascular events. METHODS Three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and Scopus) were searched from inception to May 22, 2021 for prospective cohort studies evaluating the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular mortality in migraine patients. A random effects meta-analysis model was used to summarize the included studies. RESULTS A total of 18 prospective cohort studies were included consisting of 370,050 migraine patients and 1,387,539 controls. Migraine was associated with myocardial infarction (hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.23-1.51; p = < 0.001), unspecified stroke (hazard ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.07-1.60; p = 0.01), ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03-1.78; p = 0.03) and hemorrhagic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.07-1.92; p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis of migraine with aura found a further increase in risk of myocardial infarction and both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, as well as improved substantial statistical heterogeneity. Migraine with aura was also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.14-1.42; p = < 0.001). CONCLUSION Migraine, especially migraine with aura, is associated with myocardial infarction and stroke. Migraine with aura increases the risk of overall cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Migraines are one of the emerging causes of disabilities experienced worldwide, and strokes are the second leading cause of death globally. Migraines with aura have been reported to be associated with a higher risk of ischemic strokes, whereas hemorrhagic strokes are more closely associated with migraines without aura, possible mechanisms that link migraines to strokes. These can be categorized into vascular mechanisms such as vasospasm, endothelial and platelet dysfunction, and alteration in the vessel wall seen in migraineurs, further perpetrated by vascular risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemias. Cerebral hypoperfusion that occurs in migraines can cause an electrical aberrance, leading to a phenomenon known as "spreading depression" which can contribute to strokes. In this review, we discuss bloodstream elevation in procoagulants such as antiphospholipid antibodies, homocysteine, von Willebrand factor, and prothrombin. Maintaining pregnant women who actively experience migraines with aura under close observation may be of some value in achieving better outcomes. Women who experience migraines after starting hormonal contraception are at a higher risk of experiencing strokes and stand to benefit from being switched to non-hormonal methods. In this article, we discuss the mechanisms linking migraines and strokes, briefly discuss the pathogenesis, and explore the risk factors contributing to the association therein. In addition, we examine the relationship between migraines and ischemic strokes, as well as hemorrhagic strokes, and review management considerations.

Abstract
Migraine headache is a common cause of pain and disability in children and adolescents and is a major contributor to frequently missed school days and limitations in activities. Of children and adolescents with migraine headache, approximately one-third have migraine with aura (MA). MA is often considered to be similar to migraine without aura (MO), and thus, many studies do not stratify patients based on the presence of aura. Because of this, treatment recommendations are often analogous between MA and MO, with a few notable exceptions. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current evidence demonstrating the unique pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, co-morbidities, and treatment recommendations and responses for pediatric MA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2021 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, the global burden of cardiovascular disease, and further evidence-based approaches to changing behaviors related to cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Each of the 27 chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policy makers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Migraine and stroke are common, disabling neurological conditions with several theories being proposed to explain this bidirectional relationship. Migraine is considered as a benign neurological disorder, but research has revealed a connection between migraine and stroke, predominantly those having migraine with aura (MA). Among migraineurs, females with MA are more susceptible to ischemic stroke and may have a migrainous infarction. Migrainous infarction mostly occurs in the posterior circulation of young women. Although there are several theories about the potential relationship between MA and stroke, the precise pathological process of migrainous infarction is not clear. It is assumed that cortical spreading depression (CSD) might be one of the essential factors for migrainous infarction. Other factors that may contribute to migrainous infarction may be genetic, hormonal fluctuation, hypercoagulation, and right to left cardiac shunts. Antimigraine drugs, such as ergot alkaloids and triptans, are widely used in migraine care. Still, they have been found to cause severe vasoconstriction, which may result in the development of ischemia. It is reported that patients with stroke develop migraines during the recovery phase. Both experimental and clinical data suggest that cerebral microembolism can act as a potential trigger for MA. Further studies are warranted for the treatment of migraine, which may lead to a decline in migraine-related stroke. In this present article, we have outlined various potential pathways that link migraine and stroke.

Abstract
Objective: Recurrent headaches and ADHD are prevalent in the pediatric population. Herein, we assess if ADHD is comorbid to headaches overall, to headache subtypes (e.g., migraine), and to headache frequency. Method: Informed consent and analyzable data were obtained for 5,671 children aged 5 to 12 years (65.9% of the target sample). Parents and teachers were interviewed using validated questionnaires based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5). Relative risks were modeled using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: As contrasted to nonheadache controls, the prevalence of ADHD was significantly higher in children with migraine (p < .001) but not in those with tension-type headaches. In children with migraine, risk of ADHD increased as a function of headache frequency (p < .05). Conclusion: Migraine and frequent migraine are comorbid to ADHD. Future studies should focus on the impact of the association on the burden to the children and their families.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenolic that has been emerging in epilepsy treatment. Despite its pharmacological properties, the poor bioavailability of resveratrol has been an important barrier that hinders its application as an anticonvulsant. The aim of this work was to improve resveratrol's anticonvulsant effects by micronizing this compound through supercritical fluid micronization technology, which promotes an increase of the particles' surface area and allows significantly reduced particle size to be obtained. We obtained commercial and micronized resveratrol and investigated the anticonvulsant effects of resveratrol as commercially found and micronized resveratrol in a pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure model in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae. Diazepam was used as the positive control. Also, animals had their locomotor and exploratory activity analyzed 24 h after the seizure occurrence. The occurrence of the tonic-clonic seizure stage was only prevented by diazepam and micronized resveratrol, unlike the non-processed compound. The seizure development was significantly slowed by diazepam and micronized resveratrol, while non-micronized resveratrol was not able to increase the latency of seizure stages. In addition, diazepam and micronized resveratrol prevented the deleterious effects of pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures on animals' locomotor and exploratory behaviour. Obtained data demonstrates that the micronization process potentiates the anticonvulsant effect of resveratrol. Micronized resveratrol achieved a similar effect to the classical drug diazepam, with the benefit that it may be a safe drug candidate to be used during the neurodevelopmental stage.

Abstract
The efficient targeting of cancer cells depends on the success of obtaining the active targeting of overexpressed receptors. A very accurate design of nanoconjugates should be done via the selection of the conjugation strategy to achieve effective targeted nanoconjugates. Here, we present a detailed study of cetuximab-conjugated nonspherical gold nanocages for the active targeting of triple-negative breast cancer cells, including MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468. A few different general strategies were selected for monoclonal antibody conjugation to the nanoparticle surface. By varying the bioconjugation conditions, including antibody orientation or the presence of a polymeric spacer or recombinant protein biolinker, we demonstrate the importance of a rational design of nanoconjugates. A quantitative study of gold content via ICP-AES allowed us to compare the effectiveness of cellular uptake as a function of the conjugation strategy and confirmed the active nature of nanoparticle internalization in cancer cells via epidermal growth factor receptor recognition, corroborating the importance of the rational design of nanomaterials for nanomedicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Memory function disorder is a major health problem in geriatric patients. Physical exercise has the potency to decrease the incidence of many degenerative and chronic health problem, related to cognitive deterioration (dementia). AIM This research aimed to observe the effect of physical exercise in various doses and duration on memory function by analysing the role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) as a regulatory protein affected by exercise. METHODS This was an analytical observational study with a cohort design. Thirty participants were included in each group, classified as exercise and non-exercise group. The exercise was in the form of jogging for at least fifteen minutes every day. The observation was done for sixty days. Cognitive function assessment was done by using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. Meanwhile, the BDNF level was assessed by ELISA. Statistical analysis was done using Independent T-test. RESULTS Exercise group showed better MMSE score (28.56 ± 1.76), and a higher concentration of BDNF (235.34 ± 12.56 pg/mL), both were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Physical exercise was able to maintain geriatric cognitive function performance by BDNF protein regulation.

Abstract
Background New-onset headache after stroke is common among adult stroke survivors. However, pediatric data are limited. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of new-headache after pediatric ischemic stroke. Secondary outcomes were to describe the characteristics of patients experiencing poststroke headache and the association between poststroke headache and stroke recurrence. Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study on children aged 30 days to 18 years with a confirmed radiographic diagnosis of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2016. Patients were identified from an internal database, with additional data abstracted from the electronic medical record. Poststroke headache (occurring >30 days after stroke) was identified through electronic searches of the medical record and confirmed by chart review. Results Of 115 patients with confirmed AIS, 41 (36%) experienced poststroke headache, with headache developing a median of 6 months after stroke. Fifty-one percent of patients with poststroke headache presented to the emergency department for headache evaluation; 81% of the patients had an inpatient admission for headache. Older age at stroke (odds ratio [OR] 21.5; p = 0.0001) and arteriopathy (OR 8.65; p = 0.0029) were associated with development of poststroke headache in a multivariable analysis. Seventeen patients (15%) had a recurrent stroke during the study period. Poststroke headache was associated with greater risk for stroke recurrence (p = 0.049). Conclusions Remote poststroke headache is a common morbidity among pediatric stroke survivors, particularly in older children. Headaches may increase health care utilization, including neuroimaging and hospital admissions. We identified a possible association between poststroke headache and stroke recurrence.

[PMID: 30686627 DOI: 10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2018.11.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2018] [Revised: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 11/20/2018] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with Sturge-Weber syndrome can experience severe headache with or without transient hemiparesis. Flunarizine, a calcium antagonist, has been used for migraine. The experience with flunarizine for headache in a cohort of children at a national center for Sturge-Weber syndrome is reviewed, reporting its efficacy and adverse effect in this population. METHODS We collected data from health care professionals' documentation on headache (severity, frequency, duration) before and on flunarizine in 20 children with Sturge-Weber syndrome. Adverse effects reported during flunarizine treatment were collated. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine the significance of pre- versus post-treatment effect. RESULTS Flunarizine was used for headache alone (13) or mixed migrainous episodes and vascular events (7). The median duration of treatment was 145 days (range 43 to 1864 days). Flunarizine reduced headache severity (z = -3.354, P = 0.001), monthly frequency (z = -2.585, P = 0.01), and duration (z = -2.549, P = 0.01). Flunarizine was discontinued owing to intolerable adverse effects in a minority (2). Sedation and weight gain were the most common side effects. There were no reports of behavior change or extrapyramidal features. CONCLUSIONS The most effective management for headaches in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome has not been established. This retrospective observational study found benefit of flunarizine prophylaxis on headache severity, frequency, and duration in children with Sturge-Weber syndrome without severe side effects. Flunarizine is not licensed for use in the United Kingdom, but these data support its off-license specialist use for headache prophylaxis in Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between headaches and migraine with physical and mental disorders in a large pediatric registry. STUDY DESIGN In total, 9329 youth aged 8-21 years from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort were included. Physical conditions, including headache, were ascertained from electronic medical records and in-person interviews. Modified International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II) criteria were used to classify migraine symptoms. Forty-two other physical conditions were classified into 14 classes of medical disorders. Mental disorders were assessed using an abbreviated version of the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia. RESULTS Lifetime prevalence of any headache was 45.5%, and of migraine was 22.6%. Any headache was associated with a broad range of physical disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (OR 1.2 [95% CI 1.1-1.4]), and behavior disorders (1.3 [1.1-1.5]). Youth with migraine had greater odds of specific physical conditions and mental disorders, including respiratory, neurologic/central nervous system, developmental, anxiety, behavior, and mood disorders than those with nonmigraine headache (OR ranged from 1.3 to 1.9). CONCLUSIONS Comorbidity between headaches with a range of physical conditions that have been associated with adult migraine demonstrates that multimorbidity occurs early in development. Comorbidity may be an important index of heterogeneity of migraine that can guide clinical management, genetic investigation, and future research on shared pathophysiology with other disorders.

Risk factors in childhood arterial ischaemic stroke: Findings from a population-based study in Germany. Eur J Paediatr Neurol 2018; 22:380-386. [PMID: 29370976 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpn.2018.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2017] [Revised: 11/22/2017] [Accepted: 01/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute treatment of childhood arterial ischaemic stroke and prevention strategies for recurrent stroke episodes depend strongly on each child's individual risk profile. The aim of this study is to characterize risk factors for childhood stroke, their occurrence in isolation or combination, and to identify possible common risk factor patterns. METHODS This population-based study was conducted via ESPED, a surveillance unit for rare paediatric diseases in Germany. Children aged >28days and <18 years with an acute arterial ischaemic stroke occurring between January 2015 and December 2016 were included. RESULTS Among 99 reported children with arterial ischaemic stroke, 56 children were male. Male predominance was significant in adolescents from 12 years old onward. Arterial ischaemic stroke was more common in very young children <2 years of age and in adolescence. No risk factor was identified in 27 children. Hypercoagulable states (29%), cardiac disorders (24%), and arteriopathies (21%) were the most common risk factors. Some risk factor categories were more likely to be identified in isolation (i.e. cardiac disorders, prothrombotic abnormalities and chronic head and neck disorders) than others. The number of risk factors (n = 0-4) per patient and risk factor categories did not differ by age. CONCLUSION Although we could not identify common patterns of risk factor combinations, several risk factors occurred more likely in isolation than others. Further research should focus on the impact of isolated presumed childhood stroke risk factors like certain prothrombotic abnormalities, migraine or a patent foramen ovale. With regard to different age groups, stroke mechanisms in male adolescents require particular attention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform an updated meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes among migraineurs. SETTING A meta-analysis of cohort studies performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. DATA SOURCES The MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for relevant articles. PARTICIPANTS A total of 16 cohort studies (18 study records) with 394 942 migraineurs and 757 465 non-migraineurs were analysed. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), stroke (ie, ischaemic, haemorrhagic or non-specified), myocardial infarction (MI) and all-cause mortality. The outcomes were reported at the longest available follow-up. DATA ANALYSIS Summary-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were calculated by random-effects Der-Simonian and Liard model. The risk of bias was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Migraine was associated with a higher risk of MACCE (adjusted HR 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26 to 1.60, P<0.001, I2=40%) driven by a higher risk of stroke (adjusted HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.61, P<0.001, I2=72%) and MI (adjusted HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.43, P=0.006, I2=59%). There was no difference in the risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.10, P=0.38, I2=91%), with a considerable degree of statistical heterogeneity between the studies. The presence of aura was an effect modifier for stroke (adjusted HR aura 1.56, 95% CI 1.30 to 1.87 vs adjusted HR no aura 1.11, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.31, P interaction=0.01) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR aura 1.20, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.30 vs adjusted HR no aura 0.96, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.07, Pinteraction<0.001). CONCLUSION Migraine headache was associated with an increased long-term risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. This effect was due to an increased risk of stroke (both ischaemic and haemorrhagic) and MI. There was a moderate to severe degree of heterogeneity for the outcomes, which was partly explained by the presence of aura. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42016052460.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies show migraineurs are at an increased risk of developing suicidal behaviors, even after controlling for comorbid depression. However, previous research has not examined the impact of psychiatric mood disorders on suicidal behaviors in migraineurs within a nationally representative sample. OBJECTIVE A cross-sectional study was used to investigate the association between migraine and suicidal behaviors and determine whether psychiatric comorbidities modify this association in a nationwide inpatient cohort. METHODS We analyzed the Nationwide Inpatient Sample of hospitalizations compiled from USA billing data. Migraine, suicidal behaviors, and psychiatric disorders were identified based on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes from hospitalization discharges (2007-2012). Weighted national estimates were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS 156,172,826 hospitalizations were included, of which 1.4% had a migraine diagnosis and 1.6% had a diagnosis of suicidal behavior. Migraineurs had a 2.07-fold increased odds of suicidal behaviors (95%CI: 1.96-2.19) compared with non-migraineurs. We repeated analyses after stratifying by depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among hospitalizations with depression, migraine was associated with a 20% reduced odds of suicidal behaviors (95%CI: 0.76-0.85). Among hospitalizations without depression, migraine was associated with 2.35-fold increased odds of suicidal behaviors (95%CI: 2.20-2.51). In stratified analyses, we noted that among hospitalizations with anxiety, migraineurs had slightly increased odds of suicidal behaviors (OR: 1.07, 95%CI: 1.02-1.13). Among hospitalizations without anxiety, migraine was associated with a 2.06-fold increased odds of suicidal behaviors (95%CI: 1.94-2.20). Similarly, in analyses stratified by PTSD, migraine was not associated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviors (OR: 1.00, 95%CI: 0.94-1.07) among those with PTSD. However, the odds of suicidal behaviors were increased among hospitalizations without PTSD (OR: 1.95, 95%CI: 1.84-2.08). CONCLUSION Chronic conditions that do not affect the current hospitalization may not have been reported. The presence of psychiatric diagnoses influences associations of suicidal behaviors with migraine in a national inpatient sample. Migraineurs with diagnosed comorbid psychiatric disorders may be receiving care that mitigates their risk for suicidal behaviors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main goal of our research was to perform an epidemiological study of migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) among high school students in the Republic of Croatia. METHODS The authors surveyed 1,876 students attending high schools in the Republic of Croatia using a self-administered 36-item questionnaire. RESULTS Among 1,876 students who completed the questionnaire, prevalence of migraine was 12.8% (17% in women and 8.1% in men) and prevalence of TTH was 38.3% (40.6% in women and 35.7% in men). Prevalence of migraine with TTH was 2.9% (3.1% in women and 2.7% in men). The authors found a significantly greater prevalence of migraine in female than in male students (OR = 2.3), as in TTH (OR = 1.23). Compared with students with TTH, migraine sufferers were more inclined to take medications (OR = 3.29) and use health care (OR = 8.12) and were more likely to smoke (OR = 2.34). CONCLUSION The prevalence of primary headaches in Croatia is similar to that in other countries of the world. TTH is the most common primary headache, occurring later in relation to migraine, and both types are more common in females. Teenagers who suffer from migraines are more likely to smoke in comparison to TTH. Although migraine patients visit the doctor and take medications more frequently than those with TTH, both headaches are being underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Abstract
Dozens of observational studies and two meta-analyses have investigated the association of migraine with the risk of stroke, but their results are inconsistent. We aimed to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between migraine and stroke risk by performing a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. PubMed and Embase were searched through July 2016 to identify studies that met pre-stated inclusion criterion and reference lists of retrieved articles were also reviewed. Information on the characteristics of the included study, risk estimates, and control for possible confounding factors were extracted independently by two authors. The random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled risk estimates. Eleven prospective cohort studies involving 3371 patients with stroke and 2,221,888 participants were included in this systematic review. Compared with non-migraineurs, the pooled relative risks of total stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and ischemic stroke for migraineurs were 1.55 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38-1.75], 1.15 (95% CI 0.85-1.56), and 1.64 (95% CI 1.22-2.20), respectively. Exception of any single study did not materially alter the combined risk estimate. Integrated epidemiological evidence supports that migraine should be associated with the increased risk of total stroke and ischemic stroke, but the relationship between migraine and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is not of certainty.

Abstract
Comorbid conditions frequently occur in pediatric headaches and may significantly affect their management. Comorbidities that have been associated with pediatric headaches include attention-deficit or hyperactivity disorder, autism, developmental disabilities, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, obesity, infantile colic, atopic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. The goal of this article is to review these comorbidities associated with pediatric headache, thereby empowering child neurologists to identify common triggers and tailor management strategies that address headache and its comorbidities.
