Introduction: Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially among active-duty service members (SMs), affecting up to 35% of patients with chronic TBI. Persistent PTH is disabling and frequently unresponsive to treatment and is often migrainous. Here, we describe a trial assessing whether dietary modifications to increase n-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and reduce n-6 linoleic acid (LA), will alter nociceptive lipid mediators and result in clinical improvements in persistent PTH.

Design: Three arm, parallel group, randomized, modified double blind, controlled trial.
Setting: Ambulatory, academic medical center in the United States over 16 weeks.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the lifetime and pre-18 sexual partnering patterns of populations with physical disabilities from adolescence to early adulthood and how these patterns further vary by biological sex, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
Methods: Data were from 13,458 respondents to Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Poisson regression models were used to assess differences in pre-18 and lifetime sexual partner counts among populations with physical disabilities compared with those without disabilities.
Article Synopsis
- Non-Hispanic black (NHB) infants are at a higher risk for rapid weight gain in early life, prompting a study to assess the effectiveness of a home-based intervention called "Mothers & Others."
- The randomized controlled trial involved NHB women and their study partners, focusing on responsive feeding practices, while an attention-control group received child safety guidance.
- Findings showed that while infants in the obesity prevention group (OPG) had lower weight-for-age z-scores compared to the injury prevention group (IPG), the differences were not statistically significant across the study's follow-up points.
Background: Headache diaries and recall questionnaires are frequently used to assess headache frequency and severity in clinical and research settings.
Methods: Using 20 weeks of data from an intervention trial with 182 participants, we evaluated concordance between an electronic headache diary administered on a daily basis and designed to capture the presence and severity of headaches on an hourly basis (the headache diary) and a recall questionnaire, with retrospective estimation of the number of headache days assessed on a monthly basis. We further examined whether the duration or severity of headaches assessed by the electronic diary impacted concordance between these two measures.
