Lipton et al. summarize the key changes in the recently published second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders-2 (ICHD-2). Criteria were developed for several new and treatment responsive forms of headache including the indomethacin-responsive disorders (episodic paroxysmal hemi-crania and hemicrania [continua] and the lithium-responsive disorder, hypnic headache). In addition, chronic migraine, new daily persistent headache, and benign thunderclap headache were added. see page 427 In a prospective study, Leira et al. evaluated predictors and associated factors in 266 intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). Clinical and biochemical inflammatory markers were predictors of subsequent early neurologic deterioration, whereas early ICH growth, intraventricular bleeding, and high systolic blood pressure within 48 hours were factors associated with early neurologic deterioration in spontaneous ICH. see page 461 Yablon et al. determined the prevalence and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after brain injury. Admission duplex ultrasonography revealed thigh DVT in 11% of 709 consecutive neurorehabilitation patients. Prevalence was higher with brain tumor (21%) and hemorrhage (16%) vs trauma (6.7%). DVT risk was multifactorial, and influenced by the type of brain injury. see page 485 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Rio et al. compare …
