Purpose Of Review: Several innovative digital technologies have begun to be applied to diagnosing and treating migraine. We reviewed the potential benefits and opportunities from delivering migraine care through comprehensive digital clinics.
Recent Findings: There are increasing applications of digitization to migraine diagnosis and management, including e-diaries, and patient self-management, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions in stellar binary systems, and important sources of Al and Na. While γ rays from the decay of the former radioisotope have been observed throughout the Galaxy, Na remains untraceable. Its half-life (2.

However, for several mutations, the phenotype has been described in a few individuals only; thus, the knowledge of the clinical course and the outcome after therapeutical interventions such as liver transplantation is limited. We describe the phenotype associated with five rare amyloidogenic TTR mutations that lately were discovered in Sweden: ATTR Val30Leu, Ala45Ser, Leu55Gln, Gly57Arg and Tyr69His of which ATTR Gly57Arg is previously unknown.

This trend has been attributed to both anthropogenically induced climate change and natural variability, but the primary cause remains uncertain. Changes in the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in the past can provide insights into the factors that influence hurricane activity, but reliable observations of hurricane activity in the North Atlantic only cover the past few decades.

This study investigates the potential of using changes of interannual luminescence intensity in hermatypic Montastraea coral skeletons in the northeastern Caribbean as a proxy of precipitation and (trade) wind speed. In order to find wavelength pairs that are well suited to detect variations in the concentration of incorporated terrestrial humic substances in coral skeletons, and thus to reconstruct past run-off and rainfall, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectra of seawater samples were investigated on their relationships to local precipitation. Three prominent excitation-emission peaks at 310/430, 425/480 and 390/530 nm were identified.
