TLDR
Together, the data discussed will provide a framework by which vessels can be viewed as important potential contributors to migraine pathophysiology, even in light of the current uncertainty over the role of vasodilation in this disorder.

Purinergic Signaling in the Cardiovascular System.

TL;DR: The involvement of purinergic signaling in cardiovascular pathophysiology and its therapeutic potential are discussed, including heart failure, infarction, arrhythmias, syncope, cardiomyopathy, angina, heart transplantation and coronary bypass grafts, coronary artery disease, diabetic cardiopathy, hypertension, ischemia, thrombosis, diabetes mellitus, and migraine.

Advances in Meningeal Immunity

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of the meningeal immune repertoire are discussed and insights into how this CNS barrier operates immunologically under conditions ranging from neurocognition to inflammatory diseases are provided.

Mechanisms of migraine as a chronic evolutive condition

TL;DR: Migraine is a life span neurological disorder that follows an evolutive age-dependent change in its prevalence and even clinical presentations, and genetic and epigenetic factors, inflammatory processes and central sensitization may play an important role.

Dural Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Produces Female-Specific Responses in Rodent Migraine Models

TL;DR: The preclinical behavioral models of migraine show that application of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) to the rat dura mater produces cutaneous periorbital hypersensitivity and the first to demonstrate that CGRP-induced headache-like behavioral responses at doses up to 3.8 μg are female-specific both acutely and following central and peripheral priming.

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

TL;DR: The ICHD identifies and categorizes more than a hundred different kinds of headache in a logical, hierarchal system and has provided explicit diagnostic criteria for all of the headache disorders listed.

Vascular endothelial cells synthesize nitric oxide from L-arginine.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NO can be synthesized from L-arginine by porcine aortic endothelial cells in culture and the strict substrate specificity of this reaction suggests that L- arginine is the precursor for NO synthesis in vascular endothelium cells.

Spreading depression of activity in the cerebral cortex

TL;DR: In this article, an interesting response elicited by electrical stimulation was noticed in the cortex of rabbits, and the distinctive feature of this response was a marked, enduring reduction of the "spontaneous" electrical activity of the cortex.
