Migraine attacks rarely occur spontaneously in the absence of any possible precipitating factors. A systematic literature review of 25 publications revealed a consistent set of stimuli that have been identified as factors associated with the onset of a migraine attack. The weighted average of the "Top 10" trigger factors was determined. Stress was cited as the overall most common migraine precipitating factor, which was identified as a trigger factor by 58 % of 7187 migraineurs. The incidence of migraine precipitating factors, across various populations globally, demonstrates the clinical consistency of migraine in the human population. Future efforts aimed at mitigating these precipitating factors have the potential to significantly improve migraine management. However, the current healthcare system is unlikely to be able to develop detailed personalized management plans. There is a need to develop a novel approach to the identification and management of multiple trigger factors in individual migraineurs.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for treating symptomatic cholelithiasis due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery, but it is not without risks. A key component of this procedure is the creation of pneumoperitoneum. This is achieved by insufflating the abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2).

Background: Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and is associated with dire prognosis, characterized by a substantial risk of limb amputation and diminished life expectancy. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic interventions, the underlying mechanisms precipitating the progression of PAD to CLTI remain elusive.

Methods: Considering diabetes is one of the main risk factors contributing to PAD exacerbation into CLTI, we compared hind limb ischemia recovery in HFD STZ vs.

Background: Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics. There is limited evidence regarding tunnel-based procedures combined with connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for treating recession-associated NCCLs.
