Introduction of migraine, including symptoms, epidemiology, pathophysiology(neurotransmitter, neural network, channel, CGRP), diagnostic criteria and treatment (oral, intravenous therapy at ED and long-term prevention)
My own slim attempt at covering the extremely complex and ever evolving field of migraine pathophysiology. Not intended by any means to be exhaustive but more like a unique take and beginner's guide.
Migraines are severe, debilitating headaches that are usually characterized by an intense throbbing or pulsing in one area of your head. They can include sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, create visual disturbances such as auras, and can even cause nausea or vomiting. They are more than a headache and can affect your everyday life.

Like most long-term and episodic conditions, Migraines have several factors leading to an attack. With approximately 12% of the American population suffering from them, the importance of knowing the triggers cannot be ignored. Migraine was the sixth leading cause of u201cYears Lost Due To Disabilityu201d in the World Health Organizationu2019s Global Burden of Disease Study in 2013. Many are confused if the treatment is possible for the same? The obvious answer is Yes. However, the real journey to therapy begins with a basic understanding of the condition.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

4. Eletriptan Dopamine antagonists
Dopamine antagonists
DHE=Dihydroergotamine; NSAIDs=nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Simple analgesics alone or in combination with other compounds have provided
relief for mild to moderately severe headaches and sometimes even for severe
headaches.[89] Acute treatment is most effective when given within 15 minutes of
pain onset and when pain is mild.[90]
Analgesics used in migraine include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and narcotic
analgesics (eg, oxycodone, morphine sulfate). Propoxyphene (Darvon) was formerly
used; however, propoxyphene products were withdrawn from the United States
market in 2010, because this agent can cause prolonged PR interval, widened QRS
complex, and prolonged QT interval at therapeutic doses. For more information, see
MedWatch safety information, from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For more severe pain, 5hydroxytryptamine–1 (5HT1) agonists (triptans) and/or
opioid analgesics are used, either alone or in combination with dopamine
antagonists (eg, prochlorperazine [Compazine]). The use of abortive medications
must be limited to 23 days a week to prevent development of a rebound headache
phenomenon.
Intravenous metoclopramide is recognized as an effective therapy for acute
migraine, but the optimal dosing has not been established. A study by Friedman et
al determined that 20 or 40 mg of metoclopramide is no better in the treatment of
acute migraine than 10 mg of the drug.[91]
A systematic review by Taggart et al found that ketorolac is an effective alternative
agent for the relief of acute migraine headache in the ED. Ketorolac provides pain
relief similar to that with meperidine (with less potential for addiction) and is more
effective than sumatriptan; however, it may not be as effective as
metoclopramide/phenothiazine agents. Sideeffect profiles were similar with
ketorolac and these other agents.[92]
Triptans and ergot alkaloids
The 2 categories of migrainespecific oral medications are triptans and ergot
alkaloids. The specific ergot alkaloids include ergotamine and dihydroergotamine
(DHE).[93] The specific triptans include the following[94] :
Sumatriptan
Rizatriptan
Zolmitriptan
Naratriptan
Almotriptan
Eletriptan
Frovatriptan
8. Comorbid Condition Medication
Hypertension Beta blockers
Angina Beta blockers
Stress Beta blockers
Depression Tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs
Overweight Topiramate, protriptyline
Underweight Tricyclic antidepressants (nortriptyline, protriptyline)
Epilepsy Valproic acid, topiramate
Mania Valproic acid
SSRIs = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Propranolol, timolol, methysergide, valproic acid, and topiramate (Topamax) have
been approved by the FDA for migraine prophylaxis. However, a 2009 report
suggested that longterm topiramate use in pediatric patients can cause metabolic
acidosis and hypokalemia; the risk was deemed mild but statistically significant.[100]
Misra et al reported that in migraineurs with allodynia, prophylactic therapy with
divalproex and amitriptyline were equally effective in relieving allodynia. In study
patients, the presence of allodynia was related to the duration, severity, and
frequency of migraine and to female gender.[101]
The NSAID naproxen sodium has also been used for prophylaxis. In controlled
clinical trials, naproxen sodium demonstrated better efficacy than placebo and
similar efficacy to propranolol. However, this agent should be reserved for shortterm
use, such as for menstrual migraines.[102] Tolfenamic acid has also been tried for
migraine prophylaxis, but its clinical efficacy is not as good as that of beta blockers,
valproate, or methysergide.
Of note, an open pilot study reported that quetiapine is effective for migraine
prophylaxis in patients with migraine refractory to treatment with standard therapies
(eg, atenolol, nortriptyline, flunarizine). The authors stated that controlled studies
would be necessary to confirm their observations.[103]
Classes of prophylactic drugs
The 3 principal classes of medications that are effective for migraine prevention are
as follows:
Antiepileptics
Antidepressants
Antihypertensives
For any of these prophylactic agents, prophylaxis should not be considered a failure
until it has been given at the maximum tolerable dose for at least 30 days.
Antiepileptics
