Bipolar disorder is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease. Despite high heritability (60-80%), the majority of the underlying genetic determinants remain unknown. We analysed data from participants of European, East Asian, African American and Latino ancestries (n = 158,036 cases with bipolar disorder, 2.

We aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for ASAH in the general population to identify high-risk individuals.
Design: We used the population-based prospective cohort studies of the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank for model development and the Trøndelag Health (HUNT) Study for model validation.
Study Design: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis with downstream analyses.
Objective: To explore the genetic architecture of chronic low back pain (cLBP) and identify underlying biological mechanisms that contribute to its development.
Summary Of Background Data: Chronic low back pain is prevalent and debilitating, with many cases having no identifiable biological cause.
Background: There is a lack of up-to-date information on the prevalence and burden of headache in Norway. Here we describe the methods and validation of the diagnostic tool of the PopHEAD study, a study designed to determine the prevalence and burden of migraine, tension-type headache, and medication-overuse headache.
Method: PopHEAD is a Norwegian population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Vestfold and Telemark County in 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to explore the relationship between epilepsy and migraine in a large general population, using validated diagnostic methods instead of previous less reliable approaches.
- - It analyzed data from over 65,000 participants, finding no overall increase in migraine prevalence among those with epilepsy compared to those without; however, a higher prevalence of migraine was found in epilepsy patients with intense headache frequency.
- - The conclusion indicates that while migraine occurs at similar rates in both groups, those with epilepsy are more likely to experience frequent migraines (7 or more days a month).
