Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between serum carotenoids, known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and the risk of migraines in U.S. adults.
- Out of 7,744 participants, 20.6% reported having migraines, with higher serum levels of certain carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, and lutein + zeaxanthin) linked to a lower risk of migraines.
- Results suggest that lower carotenoid levels might increase migraine risk, indicating the need for further research to explore if there's a causal relationship.
Background: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a rare disease associated with a latent risk of intracranial hemorrhage. However, due to limited evidence, the safety of recommending intravenous tissue plasminogen activators for patients with acute stroke and CCM remains uncertain.
Methods: Our study identified five patients with acute stroke and CCM treated between 2017 and 2023 across two hospitals.
