A Report on the Journal 2004

Abstract: Cephalalgia has been successful by a number of measures in the last 12 months: our circulation is up particularly through electronic penetration in libraries, our submission rate has risen substantially and our impact factor remains high amongst clinical neuroscience journals. We are entering our fifth and last year of the current publisher’s contract. In the life of the contract we have switched to a very successful on-line submission system, finalized details for a new CDROM containing all issues of Cephalalgia and Headache, and will publish this year the revised International Headache Society classification for headache (1). All of this is excellent progress The journal continues to attract a range of important, interesting and often very thought-provoking submissions. We have benefitted greatly from the broad range of interests of the Associate Editors we are able to recommend and solicit high-quality expert reviews that keep the scientific standards high. In keeping with our general philosophy there is a need for renewal amongst the Associate Editors, and Professor Peer Tfelt-Hansen will be standing down. Peer is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative figures on clinical trial methodology in headache, his wide contributions to the field have appropriately lead to his election as President of the International Headache Society. The journal thanks him for his contributions, and congratulates him on his election. After wide consultation I have invited Professor Nahib Ramadan, University of Chicago, to join the Associate Editors. Professor Ramadan was extensively involved in the journal under the previous Editor-in-Chief, Professor K. Michael Welch, and brings both excellence in academic life and a stint in industry with that important perspective to the Board. I welcome his acceptance of the invitation. From this issue Cephalalgia will become a monthly journal. We have a strong throughput of excellent work and rather than raise the rejection rate, and somewhat arbitrarily dismiss work that readers might be very interested in seeing, we felt it timely to increase to 12 issues a year. We hope this will allow more rapid publication of your accepted work and a greater range of interesting papers for readers in any one year. Let me close by thanking the Editorial Assistant Faye Cheeseman for her sterling efforts at the Blackwell’s Office in keeping the journal ticking over, our referees whose expertise is the key to our success, the Associate Editors who do so much for the journal, and you the reader for your continued support for Cephalalgia.

Migraine--current understanding and treatment.

Abstract: Migraine is a common and sometimes debilitating disorder. This review describes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and preventive and symptomatic treatment of migraine, with special attention to drug therapy with the triptans.

Vasoactive peptide release in the extracerebral circulation of humans during migraine headache

Abstract: The innervation of the cranial vessels by the trigeminal nerve, the trigeminovascular system, has recently been the subject of study in view of its possible role in the mediation of some aspects of migraine. Since stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion in humans leads to facial pain and flushing and associated release of powerful neuropeptide vasodilator substances, their local release into the extracerebral circulation of humans was determined in patients who had either common or classic migraine. Venous blood was sampled from both the external jugular and the cubital fossa ipsilateral to the side of headache. Plasma levels of neuropeptide Y, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide were determined using sensitive radioimmunoassays for each peptide, and values for the cubital fossa and external jugular and a control population were compared. A substantial elevation of the calcitonin gene-related peptide level in the external jugular but not the cubital fossa blood was seen in both classic and common migraine. The increase seen in classic migraine was greater than that seen with common migraine. The other peptides measured were unaltered. This finding may have importance in the pathophysiology of migraine.

Principles of Neural Science

Abstract: I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book. The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or

Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine

Abstract: The 11th edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine welcomes Anthony Fauci to its editorial staff, in addition to more than 85 new contributors. While the organization of the book is similar to previous editions, major emphasis has been placed on disorders that affect multiple organ systems. Important advances in genetics, immunology, and oncology are emphasized. Many chapters of the book have been rewritten and describe major advances in internal medicine. Subjects that received only a paragraph or two of attention in previous editions are now covered in entire chapters. Among the chapters that have been extensively revised are the chapters on infections in the compromised host, on skin rashes in infections, on many of the viral infections, including cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus, on sexually transmitted diseases, on diabetes mellitus, on disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, and on lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. The major revisions in these chapters and many
