Migraine white matter hyperintensities and cerebral microinfarcts are silent cryptogenic strokes and relate to dementia
The presence of multiple silent or sub-clinical lacunar strokes is known to correlate with dementia [1,2]. A silent stroke is generally defined in terms of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): it is hyperintense on T2-weighted images and hypointense on T1-weighted images. A lesion which fulfills only the first criterion is a “white matter hyperintensity”. Large cortical strokes and strategic hit infarcts are also recognized to cause dementia. However, there are more subtle MRI-imaging abnormalities, namely migraine white matter hyperintensities and leukoaraoisis, which can be passed over as incidental findings but w hich ...

Guest Editorial: How stress changes the brain and causes a cluster of uniquely human diseases
The goal of this manuscript is to explain how stress is critically involved in the pathophysiology of a cluster of uniquely human diseases which include migraine headaches, hypertension, metabolic syndrome (obesity), stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary emboli (PE), auto-immune diseases, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer ’s disease, and atherosclerosis. As is familiar to clinicians, some people have several of these diagnoses while other people are apparently healthy and have not a single one—the diseases tend to come as a “package deal”.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo after Dental Procedures: A Population-Based Case-Control Study
Conclusions Our results demonstrated a correlation between dental procedures and BPPV. The specialists who treat patients with BPPV should consider dental procedures to be a risk factor, and dentists should recognize BPPV as a possible complication of dental treatment.
