Background And Objectives: Since the initial description of related hemiplegic migraine (HM), the phenotypic spectrum has expanded from mild episodes in neurotypical individuals to potentially life-threatening events frequently seen in individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. However, the overall longitudinal course throughout childhood remains unknown.
Methods: We analyzed HM and seizure history from electronic medical records in individuals with -related HM, delineating frequency and severity of events in monthly increments through a standardized approach.
Objective: Obesity is related to the recurrence of breast cancer. In-person groups or individual telephone counseling currently comprise the behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs tested for cancer survivors. Group support via telehealth may be convenient and provide support from fellow survivors, but feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy testing are needed.

- - The GET-WEL Program aimed to help Black and White breast cancer survivors (BCS) lose weight but saw lower enrollment and weight loss among Black participants compared to White participants, prompting the need for understanding barriers and facilitators to equitable participation.
- - A study conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 BCS who did or did not participate in GET-WEL, revealing no major differences between Black and White participants in their experiences, but highlighting common barriers like lack of program awareness and challenges accessing healthy food.
- - Findings suggest that increasing awareness of the program and providing resources for healthy food access and work/life balance could improve enrollment and support healthy lifestyles for minoritized BCS in future GET-WEL implementations.
