Migraine prodromes separated from the aura: complete migraine.
Detailed questioning of 50 patients with uncomplicated migraine has shown that 17 had symptoms that preceded the headache phase by several hours. These prodromes consisted of changes in mood,...
Idiopathic Palsy of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: A Transient Cranial Mononeuropathy
Unilateral vocal cord palsy can be a benign condition with a reasonable chance of spontaneous recovery. Analysis of 21 selected patients has shown that 5 recovered completely and another 5 improved...
Radioiodine-labelled homologous serum albumin and heterologous γ-globulin reached the extravascular space of the guinea-pig thymus in concentrations comparable with those in the spleen and in...
Young immature guinea-pigs, 7–10 weeks old, were exposed to X-rays directed solely to the thymus gland which received a tissue dose of 300 r. An equal number of animals were not irradiated. All the...
Parathymic lymph nodes in rats and mice
A number of lymph nodes lie in close proximity to the thymus of mice and rats. In mice, the parathymic nodes are found in the capsule, whereas in rats, the nodes lie on the capsule. The total weight...
Hassall's corpuscles: a measure of activity in the thymus during involution and reconstitution
Blau, J. N., Jones, R. N., Kennedy, Lesley A.
Areas occupied by Hassall's corpuscles were measured by planimetry of histological sections of guinea-pigs' thymus glands that had been involuted by one of three methods: (1) local X-irradiation of...
Groups of young adult rats were inoculated with bovine serum albumin in complete Freund's adjuvant into one foot-pad, a cervical lymph node, the spleen, a forelimb muscle, the cavity of the...
The localization of BCG in the guinea-pig thymus with special reference to Hassall's corpuscles
Intravenously administered bacillus Calmette—Guérin (BCG) reached the guinea-pig thymus during involution of the gland. Involution occurred either in association with the animal's weight loss, or...
DNA synthesis in the adult and ageing guinea-pig thymus
Tritiated thymidine was injected into exposed thymus glands in guinea-pigs whose ages ranged from 1 day to 2 years. Although the thymus atrophies progressivley with age, the remaining thymocytes...
Resolution of migraine attacks: sleep and the recovery phase.
A study of 50 migraineurs has confirmed previous observations that sleep is a common way of ending the headache phase. 14 subjects could shorten attacks by going to sleep during the day for an...

Episodic paroxysmal hemicrania: a further case and review of the literature.
Episodic paroxysmal hemicrania was delineated as a clinical entity only two years ago, separating patients whose attacks remained grouped in bouts lasting weeks, from those who started irregularly...
Migraine pathogenesis: the neural hypothesis reexamined.
The hypothesis that migraine is a primary neurological disturbance with secondary vascular manifestations is tested by analysing the five phases of migraine attacks and the eight groups of recognised...
Post-epileptic headache and migraine.
One hundred epileptic patients were questioned about their headaches. Post-ictal headaches occurred in 51 of these patients and most commonly lasted 6-72 hours. Major seizures were more often...
