- A significant number of individuals with migraines, 45.1%, hesitate to seek medical care, which could limit effective treatment and management of their condition.
- The OVERCOME (US) survey utilized machine learning and regression models to identify key factors influencing this hesitation, such as stigma and personal management efforts.
- Common reasons for not seeking help include a desire to self-manage migraines and beliefs that their headaches might not warrant professional attention.
Squamate reptiles are central for studying phenotypic correlates of evolutionary transitions from oviparity to viviparity because these transitions are numerous, with many of them being recent. Several models of life-history theory predict that viviparity is associated with increased female size, and thus more female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Yet, the corresponding empirical evidence is overall weak and inconsistent.

Aerobic respiration is the main energy source for most eukaryotes, and efficient mitochondrial energy transfer greatly influences organismal fitness. To survive environmental changes, cells have evolved to adjust their biochemistry. Thus, measuring energy metabolism at the subcellular level can enhance our understanding of individual performance, population dynamics, and species distribution ranges.

- The study explores migraine-related stigma and social burden in Japan, examining perspectives from both individuals with and without migraines.
- A web survey collected responses from over 19,000 participants, revealing that while many with migraines do not feel stigma, a significant percentage hide their condition and feel misunderstood by employers.
- Results indicated a correlation between higher stigma and increased disability among those with migraines, while people without migraines displayed stigmatizing attitudes towards those who suffer from them.
Objective: Utilize machine learning models to identify factors associated with seeking medical care for migraine.
Background: Migraine is a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet many people with migraine do not seek medical care.
Methods: The web-based survey, ObserVational survey of the Epidemiology, tReatment and Care Of MigrainE (US), annually recruited demographically representative samples of the US adult population (2018-2020).
