Introduction: Incidence of atraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is decreasing over time and its treatment is changing. We reported epidemiologic data on aneurysmal (a-) and non-aneurysmal (na-) SAH over 10 years.
Patients And Methods: Our prospective population-based registry included patients with first-ever SAH occurring from January 2011 to December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Migraine is a complex neurovascular disorder influenced by inflammatory mediators and sex steroid hormone fluctuations, which contribute to the differing impacts on men and women.
- The hormones prolactin and oxytocin play significant roles in the pathophysiology of migraines; prolactin has a pronociceptive (pain-enhancing) effect while oxytocin exhibits an antinociceptive (pain-reducing) effect.
- Effective migraine treatments may involve targeting these hormones: blocking prolactin's effects using receptor antagonists and enhancing oxytocin's effects through methods like intranasal administration, while also recognizing the unique interactions with estrogen and other pain-related pathways.
