Dissociation between CSD-Evoked Metabolic Perturbations and Meningeal Afferent Activation and Sensitization: Implications for Mechanisms of Migraine Headache Onset.

Only registered users can translate articles

The onset of the headache phase during attacks of migraine with aura, which occur in ∼30% of migraineurs, is believed to involve cortical spreading depression (CSD) and the ensuing activation and sensitization of primary afferent neurons that innervate the intracranial meninges, and their related

Celecoxib reduces CSD-induced macrophage activation and dilatation of dural but not pial arteries in rodents: implications for mechanism of action in terminating migraine attacks.

Only registered users can translate articles

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), commonly known as COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors, can be effective in treating mild to moderate migraine headache. However, the mechanism by which these drugs act in migraine is not known, nor is the specific contribution of COX-1 versus COX-2 known. We sought

Atypical presentation of cat scratch disease: Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome with facial nerve paresis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 28-year-old man presented to our clinic over the course of 3 weeks with symptoms that progressed from mild headaches to fever, fatigue, myalgia and an enlarged right preauricular lymph node with ipsilateral conjunctivitis and upper eyelid weakness. Our differential included Epstein Barr

Systemic cat scratch disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Systemic cat scratch disease (CSD) is often associated with prolonged fever and microabscesses in the liver and/or spleen. We report a case of systemic CSD with hepatic, splenic and renal involvement in an aboriginal child in Taiwan. A previously healthy 9-year-old girl had an intermittent fever for

[Bartonella neuroretinitis : An atypical manifestation of cat scratch disease].

Only registered users can translate articles

Cat scratch disease (CSD) typically manifests as a febrile lymphadenopathy and is caused by a Bartonella henselae infection after contact with cats. This article describes the case of an atypical presentation of CSD in a 52-year-old patient with acute unilateral loss of vision and headache without

Disseminated Cat Scratch Disease in Pediatric Patients in Hawai'i

Only registered users can translate articles

Cat scratch disease is known to be a generally benign, self-resolving illness associated with non-specific symptoms, including lymphadenopathy, fever, fatigue, anorexia, and headaches. However, it can also cause disseminated disease with a wide range of manifestations, including liver and spleen

Life-threatening cat-scratch disease in an immunocompromised host.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe a renal allograft recipient with cat-scratch disease in whom refractory hypotension, severe metabolic acidosis, pulmonary infiltrates, and encephalopathy developed. The patient first presented with a history of cat bites and scratches, fever, headache, and arthralgias. Four weeks later,

Cat scratch disease complicated with aseptic meningitis and neuroretinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a self limited condition characterized by fever, lymph node enlargement and less often eye involvement. Central nervous system involvement by Bartonella henselae infection is possibly an important cause of morbidity; its role as an agent of aseptic meningitis is unknown.

Cat Scratch Disease in kidney transplant receptors: is it a rare or underdiagnosed pathology?

Only registered users can translate articles

Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) is an infectious disorder which appears after cat scratching particularly in children and adolescents. Bartonella henselae is the etiologic agent more frequently involved. There are only a few recent reports demonstrating the disease after transplantation, although the

Is there a correlation between spreading depression, neurogenic inflammation, and nociception that might cause migraine headache?

Only registered users can translate articles

The time course of propagation of scotoma and blood flow changes during migraine aura parallels the phenomenon of cortical spreading depression (CSD). It was proposed that CSD generates a sterile neurogenic inflammation in the meninges, which may then lead to the activation or sensitization of

Pathophysiology of medication-overuse headache: implications from animal studies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent animal experiments have shown that chronic medication exposure profoundly affects the function of several areas in the nervous system related to headache pathogenesis. These changes include upregulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, and nitric oxide synthase in trigeminal

Neural hyperactivity in the amygdala induced by chronic treatment of rats with analgesics may elucidate the mechanisms underlying psychiatric comorbidities associated with medication-overuse headache.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with medication-overuse headache suffer not only from chronic headache, but often from psychiatric comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. The mechanisms underlying these comorbidities are unclear, but the amygdala is likely to be involved in their pathogenesis. To investigate the

Involvement of pro-nociceptive 5-HT2A receptor in the pathogenesis of medication-overuse headache.

OBJECTIVE To determine the involvement of 5-HT(2A) (5-HT(2A)) receptor in the process of trigeminal plasticity induced by chronic analgesic exposure and in the process of inflammatory-induced thermal hyperalgesia. BACKGROUND Derangement in 5-HT(2A) serotonin receptor has been reported to implicate

Encephalopathy with retinitis due to cat-scratch disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cat-scratch disease is one of several diseases known to be caused by Bartonella species. Some infections due to Bartonella resolve spontaneously without treatment with antibiotics, but in other cases the disease can be fatal without treatment. This case study reports a 7-year-old male who presented

Bartonella clarridgeiae, a newly recognized zoonotic pathogen causing inoculation papules, fever, and lymphadenopathy (cat scratch disease).

Only registered users can translate articles

Shortly after adopting a 6-week-old cat, a veterinarian was bitten on the left index finger. Within 3 weeks, he developed headache, fever, and left axillary lymphadenopathy. Initial blood cultures from the cat and veterinarian were sterile. Repeat cultures from the cat grew Bartonella-like organisms
