Association between DMFT and primary headaches: a study based on the Rafsanjan cohort study.

Background: Although primary headaches are common disorders, there is little research on the possible relationship between primary headaches and oral health (decayed, missing, and filled teeth: DMFT). The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the DMFT index and primary headaches.

Method: This descriptive study was performed on 8682 cases from the Rafsanjani cohort population based on the Rafsanjani cohort study (RCS) and Oral Health Branch of the Rafsanjan Cohort Study (OHBRCS).

Chronic treatment with coenzyme Q10 mitigates the behavioral dysfunction of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.

Objectives: The Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) phenomenon has a critical role in brain injuries induced by some kinds of stroke. The current study investigates the effects of Coenzyme Q10 (Q10) on global cerebral I/R in rats.

Materials And Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were used in this study.

Long-term metformin therapy improves neurobehavioral functions and antioxidative activity after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.

Metformin (MET),an antidiabetic drug, has shown antioxidative and neuroprotective effects. In the present investigation, we aimed to study the probable effects of MET on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Rats underwent cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and MET was administered orally at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg for 56 days.
