We describe a case which initially presented as persistent and untreatable probable migraine, which was subsequently diagnosed as neurosyphilis during the clinical evaluation. All symptoms regressed after appropriate treatment. We suggest that the possibility of neurosyphilis should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of a persistent headache which does not respond to medication.

Development and verification of a nomogram for recurrence risk of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in middle-aged and older populations.

Department of Neurology, First Hospital of Changsha, Changsha, China.
Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, with frequent recurrence, particularly pronounced among middle-aged and elderly populations, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for recurrence in middle-aged and older patients with BPPV and to develop a nomogram prediction model based on these predictors.
Methods: This retrospective study included 582 participants aged ≥45 years who were selected from the electronic medical records system of the First Hospital of Changsha between March 2021 and March 2024.
Mendelian randomization analysis reveals causal effects of migraine and its subtypes on early-onset ischemic stroke risk.

Previous observational studies have suggested at a potential link between migraine, particularly migraine with aura, and the susceptibility to early-onset ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the causal effects of genetically determined migraine and its subtypes on the risk of early-onset ischemic stroke using the two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Genetic instrumental variables associated with migraine and its subtypes were acquired from two sources with the largest sample sizes available.

Objective: To test an associations of online phenotypes of depressive symptoms with polygenic risk scores (PRS) for selected somatic diseases in a population-based cohort.
Material And Methods: Participants in a Russian population-based cohort (=4520) underwent online phenotyping based on the originally developed questionnaire using DSM-5 criteria (DSM phenotypes) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire (HADS phenotypes). After DNA genotyping with microarrays, PRS were calculated using summary statistics from large-scale GWASs (mostly from UK Biobank) for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), coronary heart disease (narrow and broad phenotypes) (CHD), ischemic stroke (IS),diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) and migraine (MG).

Aims: Migraine and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are both twice as common in women as men. Cross-sectional studies have shown associations between migraine and several psychiatric conditions, including PTSD. PTSD is disproportionally common among patients in headache clinics, and individuals with migraine and PTSD report greater disability from migraines and more frequent medication use.
