Efficacy and safety of erenumab for nonopioid medication overuse headache in chronic migraine

JAMA Neurology

2024-09-16
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this study, monthly, 140 mg erenumab injections safely and effectively achieved medication overuse headaches remission in patients with nonopioid chronic migraine and medication overuse headaches within 6 months.

Quote from corresponding author Stewart J. Tepper, MD:

“Those patients with medication overuse headache (MOH) have higher disability and a significant unmet clinical need. Erenumab proved effective versus placebo in significantly higher rates of MOH remission and marked reduction in days in which acute migraine treatment was taken in a randomized controlled trial, with these benefits sustained through a one- year open label treatment period.

“The change for clinical care will be that practitioners can start patients with MOH on erenumab and expect a likelihood of MOH remission for most without other interventions, such as planned wean, inpatient detoxification, or behavioral therapies. This will simplify and improve care of MOH patients.”

Neighborhood food access in early life and trajectories of child BMI and obesity

2024-09-16
About The Study: Residence in low-income, low–food access neighborhoods in early life was associated with higher subsequent child body mass index and higher risk of obesity and severe obesity. Future studies should examine the effectiveness of investments in neighborhood resources to improve food access in preventing child obesity.

Real-time exposure to negative news media and suicidal ideation intensity among LGBTQ+ young adults

2024-09-16
About The Study: This intensive longitudinal cohort study found that suicidal ideation intensity modestly increased in the hours immediately following exposure to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) negative news or media among LGBTQ+ young adults. These findings have timely implications for research and intervention, particularly within sociopolitical and geographic contexts where news or media coverage about LGBTQ+ topics is intensified.

Study finds food insecurity increases hospital stays and odds of readmission 

Study finds food insecurity increases hospital stays and odds of readmission 
2024-09-16
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Sept. 16, 2024 – Food insecurity, which is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food, is associated with poor health outcomes and the increased need to use health care services. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, food insecurity impacts 10.2% of U.S. households. In families with children in the home, food insecurity is even higher, at 12.5%.  A new study from researchers at Wake Forest ...

Food insecurity in early life, pregnancy may be linked to higher chance of obesity in children, NIH-funded study finds

Food insecurity in early life, pregnancy may be linked to higher chance of obesity in children,  NIH-funded study finds
2024-09-16
Children who faced food insecurity during early childhood—or whose mothers experienced it during pregnancy—had a higher body mass index (BMI) and more than 50% increased chance of developing obesity or severe obesity in childhood and adolescence, according to a new study funded by the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program. While previous research has linked food insecurity to obesity in adults, its impact on children is less clear. ECHO Cohort researchers explored how food insecurity during early life and pregnancy may ...

NIH study links neighborhood environment to prostate cancer risk in men with West African genetic ancestry

2024-09-16
What: West African genetic ancestry was associated with increased prostate cancer among men living in disadvantaged neighborhoods but not among men living in more affluent neighborhoods, according to a new study led by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The findings suggest that neighborhood environment may play a role in determining how genetic ancestry influences prostate cancer risk. The study was published Sept. 16, 2024, in JAMA Network Open. In the United States, most Black Americans have West African genetic ancestry, the researchers noted. Previous studies have shown that West African genetic ancestry is linked to increased prostate cancer risk among Black men, ...

New study reveals changes in the brain throughout pregnancy

2024-09-16
(Santa Barbara, Calif) — Pregnancy is a transformative time in a person’s life where the body undergoes rapid physiological adaptations to prepare for motherhood — that we all know. What has remained something of a mystery is what the sweeping hormonal shifts brought on by pregnancy are doing to the brain. Researchers in Professor Emily Jacobs’ lab at UC Santa Barbara have shed light on this understudied area with the first-ever map of a human brain over the course of pregnancy. “We wanted to look at the trajectory of brain changes specifically within the gestational window,” said Laura Pritschet, lead ...

15-minute city: Why time shouldn’t be the only factor in future city planning

15-minute city: Why time shouldn’t be the only factor in future city planning
2024-09-16
[Vienna, September 13 2024] – The 15-minute city, a concept where essential services are accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, has become increasingly popular in urban planning in recent years. This is because it offers solutions to several pressing challenges in urban areas, such as traffic, pollution, social isolation, and quality of life. With more than half of the world's population now living in cities—and this figure steadily increasing—these issues are becoming ever more critical. In a recent study, published ...
