The study of cerebrovascular anatomy can be difficult and may take time due to its intrinsic complexity. However, it can also be difficult for the following reasons: the excessive description of neuroanatomy making articles hard to read, the unclear clinical application of what is written, the use of simplified or intricate schematic drawings that are not always appropriate for effective teaching, the poor quality of neuroanatomy dissections and the use of unusual views of figures that are not strictly related to the most frequent neuroimages to be interpreted in daily practice. Because of this, we designed an article that incorporates original and accurate anatomical dissections in an attempt to improve its comprehensibility. Five formalin-fixed adult cadaveric heads, whose vessels were injected with a colored silicone mixture (red for arteries and blue for veins), were dissected and examined under a microscope with magnifications from 3× to 40×. Special emphasis has been placed on correlating topographic anatomy with routine neuroimaging studies from computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The essential surgical anatomy in a neurosurgeon's daily practice is also described. The cadaveric dissections included in this study contribute to the understanding of the cerebrovascular anatomy necessary for the neurosurgeon's daily practice.

Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Atogepant in Healthy Japanese and White Adults.

Clinical Pharmacology, AbbVie Inc., 1 North Waukegan Rd., North Chicago, IL, 60064, USA.
Introduction: Atogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist approved for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults in the USA, EU, and several other countries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and dose proportionality of atogepant in healthy Japanese participants, evaluate the safety and tolerability of atogepant in Japanese participants, and explore the differences in the PK and safety of atogepant in Japanese vs white participants.
Methods: A total of 50 participants (40 Japanese and 10 white) were enrolled into five cohorts; Japanese cohorts were randomized in a 4:1 ratio to atogepant (10 mg, 30 mg, or 60 mg daily dosing and 60 mg twice daily) or placebo.

Large-scale and detailed analyses of activity in the United States (US) remain limited. In this work, we leveraged the comprehensive wearable, demographic, and survey data from the All of Us Research Program, the largest and most diverse population health study in the US to date, to apply and extend the previous global findings on activity inequality within the context of the US. We found that daily steps differed by sex at birth, age, body characteristics, geography, and built environment.

Background: Physical activity and exercise are promoted worldwide as effective interventions for healthy ageing. Various exercise initiatives have been developed and evaluated for their efficacy and effectiveness among older populations. However, a deeper understanding of participants' experiences with these initiatives is crucial to foster long-term activity and exercise among older persons.

Background: The global incidence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly rising, particularly among migrants in developed countries. Migrants bear a significant burden of diabetes. However, this study is the only to evaluate the effects of a culturally appropriate diabetes intervention for these migrants on diabetes knowledge and health outcomes, adding a novel perspective to the existing literature.

Background: The severity of recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemics has revealed the importance of development of inoculation strategies in case of limited vaccine availability. Authorities have implemented inoculation strategies based on perceived risk factors such as age and existence of other chronic health conditions for survivability from the disease. However, various other factors can be considered for identifying the preferred inoculation strategies depending on the vaccine availability and disease spread levels.
