To assess the efficacy of behavioral treatments in patients with tension headache. Medline, Cinahl, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library were searched from inception to October 2007 and reference lists were checked. We selected randomized trials evaluating behavioral treatments (e.g., relaxation, electromyographic [EMG] biofeedback, and cognitive behavioral training) in patients with tension-type h...

The Global Burden of Disease Survey 2010 (GBD2010) reaffirmed the importance of migraine as a cause of public ill-health and disability (1). It did this beyond doubt, and was welcomed (2). But whereas migraine is neither the most prevalent nor the most disabling of headache disorders, others that may be of similar importance remain largely overlooked. The earlier GBD2000 considered only migrain...

We consider a Maker-Breaker type game on the square grid, in which each player takes t points on their tth turn. Maker wins if he obtains n points on a line (in any direction) without any of Breaker’s points between them. We show that, despite Maker’s apparent advantage, Breaker can prevent Maker from winning until about his nth turn. We actually prove a stronger result: Breaker only needs to c...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the effects of heat acclimatization on performance and pacing during outdoor cycling time trials (TT, 43.4 km) in the heat. METHODS Nine cyclists performed three TT in hot ambient conditions (TTH, approximately 37°C) on the first (TTH-1), sixth (TTH-2), and 14th (TTH-3) days of training in the heat. Data were compared with the average of two TT in cool co...

This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of migraine and tension-type headaches among Shiraz primary schools teachers and to provide an epidemiologic model for them. A random sample of 538 teachers, constituting a 10% sample of the primary schools teachers’ population, was evaluated on the basis of the diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS) as well as clinica...

Recent position statements and guidelines have raised the distinction between a true and false, age-related hypogonadism (HG) or late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). The former is the consequence of congenital or acquired "organic" damage of the brain centers or of the testis. The latter is mainly secondary to age-related comorbidities and does not require testosterone (T) therapy (TTh). In addition,...
