Purpose Of Review: The current review aims to provide an overview of migraine treatment strategies in medically complex patients, including those with renal, liver, and cardiovascular disease.
Recent Findings: In cardiovascular disease, gepants are likely safe for acute therapy; NSAIDs, ergotamines, and triptans are not recommended. Beta-blockers, ACEi/ARBs, and verapamil have potential cardiovascular benefits in addition to migraine preventive benefit. Frovatriptan requires no dose adjustments in kidney disease or in mild to moderate liver disease. Gepants are safe acute and preventive treatment options in mild and moderate renal and hepatic disease. TCAs and valproic acid require no dose adjustments in renal disease. OnabotulinumtoxinA is likely safe in cardiac, renal, and hepatic impairment. Although CGRP monoclonal antibodies are likely safe in renal and hepatic disease, further study is needed in these conditions as well as in cardiac disease, and no dosing recommendations are available. Effective options are available for those with complex medical comorbidities. Further research is required on the safety of newer migraine-specific therapies in these complex populations.

Background: Cannabis-based therapies have gained interest in treating different ailments in the elderly population, including severe or chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and more recently Alzheimer's Disease. This raises the importance of understanding the influence of age on the pharmacokinetics ("PK") of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC"). IGC-AD1 comprises THC at a low concentration and melatonin.

Introduction: Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition resulting from fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac, leading to decreased cardiac output and shock. Various etiologies can cause cardiac tamponade, including liver cirrhosis, which may be induced by autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic inflammatory liver disease characterized by interface hepatitis, elevated transaminase levels, autoantibodies, and increased immunoglobulin G levels.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis is one of the most pathogenic zoonoses caused by the larval forms of . It is endemic in central Europe, but from 2001 to 2018, eight European countries reported their first cases of alveolar echinococcosis. These numbers testify to unprecedented spread of the infection.

Hypervitaminosis D leads to toxic effects, including hypercalcemia, which can cause severe damage to various organs. Fetuin-A, a glycoprotein with anti-inflammatory properties, may protect tissues from such damage. This study explores the role of Fetuin-A in mitigating hypervitaminosis D-induced damage in renal, hepatic, and cardiac tissues.
