Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of two preventive treatments for chronic migraines: anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) and botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), involving 80 patients at King Fahad University Hospital.
- Both treatments resulted in significant decreases in migraine pain scores and disability after 9 months, with anti-CGRP showing slightly better results, though not statistically significant.
- Adverse effects were common in both groups, with "headache" being the most frequent; notably, more patients in the anti-CGRP group reported joint stiffness compared to those receiving BoNT.
Article Synopsis
- Artificial sweeteners (ASs) are commonly used to reduce calorie intake and combat obesity, but concerns about their safety and potential negative health effects persist.
- Numerous studies have explored the relationship between AS consumption and issues like glucose homeostasis, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, but concrete evidence linking ASs to these issues remains elusive.
- The review suggests that existing studies often have design flaws, and emphasizes the need for more rigorous research to clarify the effects of ASs on metabolic health and to determine their safety.
