: Pediatric primary chronic headache disorders are often associated with sensitivities to light (photosensitivity) and sound (phonosensitivity) that may trigger or worsen headache pain. These sensory sensitivities may result in changes to activity participation or environmental modifications to avoid visual and auditory stimuli. Over time, avoidance behaviors can inadvertently increase functional disability, suggesting the importance of their thorough consideration.

The adult also has a calcareous endoskeleton with a multimetameric pattern of continuously added elements, among them the namesake of this phylum, spines. Nearly all echinoids have both large primary spines, and an associated set of smaller secondary spines.

- - The study examines how mental capacity assessments relate to decision-making in patients with severe mental disorders (SMD) and highlights the importance of neuropsychological evaluations in this context.
- - It involved 110 adult patients, comparing those with decision-making capacity modification (CM) and those without, revealing common cognitive dysfunctions, especially in memory and executive functions, particularly among males.
- - Findings suggest that individuals with CM struggle with verbal learning and overall functioning, while mnemonic encoding may serve as a potential predictor for assessing decision-making capacity in these patients.
