Background: Migraine and cluster headache are two primary headache disorders for which conventional treatments are limited. Classic psychedelic substances such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin are potentially promising new treatment candidates for these conditions.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible relationship between the lifetime use of classic psychedelics and frequent bad headaches in a large British cohort sample.
Methods: Using data ( = 11,419) collected in 1999-2000 as part of the 1958 British National Child Development Study, this cross-sectional study used multiple logistic regression, controlling for a range of potential confounders, to test the hypothesis that lifetime use of classic psychedelics would be associated with lower odds of having frequent bad headaches.
Results: Lifetime use of classic psychedelics was associated with 25% lower odds of having frequent bad headaches (adjusted odds ratio = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.59-0.95, = 0.016).
Conclusions: The results of the present study add to the literature suggesting classic psychedelics as a possible future prophylactic treatment option for primary headache disorders.

This paper explores inferences for a competing risk model with dependent causes of failure. When the lifetimes of competing risks are modelled by a Marshall-Olikin bivariate Kies distribution, classical and Bayesian estimations are studied under generalized progressive hybrid censoring. The existence and uniqueness results for maximum likelihood estimators of unknown parameters are established, whereas approximate confidence intervals are constructed using the observed Fisher information matrix.

Introduction: Hearing loss is the most commonly recognized occupational disease in Germany. Musicians are also affected, as playing classical music can expose them to high or very high sound volumes. With this scoping review, we aimed to assess the prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss among professional musicians and evaluate its characteristics.

Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) simulations have become an indispensable tool for investigating excited-state dynamics in solids. In this work, we propose a general framework, NAMD (Neural-Network Non-Adiabatic Molecular Dynamics), which employs an E(3)-equivariant deep neural Hamiltonian to boost the accuracy and efficiency of NAMD simulations. Distinct from conventional machine learning methods that predict key quantities in NAMD, NAMD computes these quantities directly with a deep neural Hamiltonian, ensuring excellent accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.

Polyoligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) tailored with trifluoromethanesulfonylimide-lithium and solvated in tetraglyme (G4) is a potential electrolyte for Li-ion batteries. Using classical MD simulations, at different G4/POSS(-LiNSO2CF3)8 molar ratios, the interactions of Li+ ions with the oxygen atoms of G4 and, oxygen/nitrogen sites of the pendant tails, the behavior of POSS(--NSO2CF3)8 anion, and the mobility of species are investigated. The RDFs showed that there exist competing interactions of the O(G4), O(POSS), and N(POSS) sites with Li+ ions.
