Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of Anion Exchange Resin (AER) in reducing serum levels of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in adults exposed to high levels of PFAS.
- It was a controlled crossover trial with 45 participants, where one group received AER and the other was observed for 12 weeks.
- Results showed that treatment significantly decreased PFOS levels by a mean of 115 ng/mL (60%), with no serious side effects, indicating AER could be a viable treatment option for PFOS elimination.
Article Synopsis
- PFAS are man-made chemicals that have been widely used since the 1950s for their water- and grease-repellent properties and resistance to heat.
- These substances are extremely persistent in the environment and have been linked to various health issues, including immune problems, hormonal disruptions, and certain cancers.
- The text reviews PFAS pollution in Denmark, focusing on human exposure, potential health effects, and how patients are managed in environmental medicine.
Objectives: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most prevalent primary headache disorder. We assessed the cross-sectional impact of TTH on health related quality of life (HRQoL) in a general population. We also examined the association of HRQoL scores with headache frequency, disability, medication overuse, poor self-rated health, psychiatric comorbidity, and pain sensitivity in individuals with TTH.

Method: A population of 796 individuals completed a headache interview based on ICHD criteria and provided data of interest in a self-administered questionnaire.

Objectives: People with migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) have psychiatric comorbidities. We aimed to test differences in mental health constructs by type and frequency of primary headache and associated pain sensitivity.
Materials And Methods: Data on headache features, neuroticism (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire) and depression (Major Depression Inventory) were obtained from 547 individuals classified into chronic (≥15) or episodic (<15 headache days/month) and into pure migraine (n=43), pure tension type headache (TTH, n=97), migraine and TTH (n=83) and no headache diagnosis (controls, n=324) groups.
