Association of Dementia Risk With Focal Epilepsy and Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors
This cross-sectional study examines data from the UK Biobank to explore the association between focal epilepsy compared with stroke or migraine and the risk of developing dementia and how that risk is affected by modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.

Potential Benefits of Migraine —What Is It Good For?
Migraine is a painful neurological disease that causes substantial suffering for millions of people. Most individuals with migraine develop it when they are relatively young, and the condition persists for decades. Although migraine often improves with age, some individuals will continue to experience well into old age. Disease activity is highest in the otherwise productive middle years of life, with the result that the economic, social, and personal costs of migraine are out of proportion to its prevalence. As if this were not enough, migraine is associated with an increased risk of serious health conditions, including s...

Migraine and the Risk of Carotid Artery Dissection
Stroke incidence is increasing among patients aged 40 to 60 years —faster than in older age cohorts. Preliminary evidence suggests that ischemic stroke—not hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage—accounts for the increase. Many speculate that increasing incidences of classic vascular risk factors among young patients contribute to the increased incidence of st roke. Certainly, we are all aware of the obesity epidemic and continued prevalence of smoking, leading to premature atherosclerosis. Furthermore, equally relevant causes of stroke in the young include migraine, drug abuse, cervical arterial dissections, patent fo...

Risks of Epilepsy During Pregnancy
Epilepsy is a common disease that affects 1 in 26 individuals in their lifetime. According to a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke assessment, with 2 million affected individuals, epilepsy ranks only fourth to migraine, stroke, and Alzheimer disease in the prevalence of neurological disorders. Epilepsy affects more people than autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson disease combined. Approximately 0.3% to 0.5% of all pregnancies are among women with epilepsy (WWE). The risks during pregnancy in WWE have been uncertain.
