Background:  The recognition of food as the trigger of attacks occurs in approximately 25% of individuals with migraine. However, differentiating migraine food triggers and prodrome symptoms is still a challenge.

Objective:  To understand the association of clinical characteristics of migraine with food triggers and to identify predictors of food triggers.

Article Synopsis
  • - Migraine affects 14.4% of people globally and involves complex biological processes including brain activation and inflammation.
  • - A study of 92 migraine patients and 88 healthy controls examined the frequency of the -899C > T (rs1800587) genetic variant and its link to migraine symptoms.
  • - Results showed that the -899C > T variant was connected to aura and osmophobia in migraine patients but not to overall susceptibility to migraines.

Article Synopsis
  • Parenteral artificial nutrition (PAN) is essential for many patients, but administering the wrong drug can have serious health consequences, even leading to death.
  • Identifying PAN drugs accurately before injection is crucial, particularly because they are often turbid and hard to differentiate using basic optical methods.
  • This study introduces a novel method that combines speckle pattern imaging with artificial intelligence to accurately classify pharmaceutical suspensions used in PAN by training machine learning algorithms.

Article Synopsis
  • The silverleaf whitefly is a major agricultural pest affecting crop yields globally, with limited research on insecticide effectiveness since the introduction of Mediterranean species in Brazil.
  • The study assessed the susceptibility of three Mediterranean whitefly populations to 11 different insecticides and analyzed their bacterial endosymbionts.
  • Results indicated significant variation in insecticide tolerance among populations, particularly with imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, emphasizing the need for regular toxicity testing and integrated pest management to maintain insecticide effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study revealed that the MED whitefly is a more efficient vector for transmitting CPMMV compared to MEAM1, with the ability to spread the virus rapidly during brief contact.
  • * Understanding the dynamics of CPMMV transmission and the whitefly species' distribution is critical for developing effective management strategies to protect soybean crops in Brazil, highlighting the need for further research into these ecological shifts.
