Headaches. Evaluation and therapy.

We have found that patients with chronic ongoing headaches can be treated effectively. The judicious use of an appropriate prophylactic medication combined with counseling, biofeedback and relaxation therapy, physical therapy, and/or stress management can result in the amelioration of the problem in many headache sufferers.

Treatment of headache in primary care practice.

Although chronic recurring headaches are usually benign, every headache should be viewed with concern, and every effort should be made to determine the cause of the headache. Medical emergencies and serious neurologic disease can also present as headache. A careful history should be taken and a neurologic examination conducted for each patient whose presenting complaint is headache. Diagnosis and treatment of migraine, cluster, and tension headaches are discussed.

Intracranial tuberculomas and the CAT scan.

Tuberculomas of the brain are rare in the United States. Although CAT (computerized axial tomography) scanning cannot distinguish these infections from other intracranial mass lesions, it provides a non-invasive technique with which to follow the course of presumptive lesions during medical therapy, and with which to search for clinically unsuspected infections. The necessity for and timing of surgery can be considered more easily with this technique. Two cases are presented with their CAT scans, including one example of the disappearance of a presumptive tuberculoma, during appropriate medical therapy.

Axonal sprouts and ( 3 H)norepinephrine uptake by superior cervical ganglia in organ culture.

Superior cervical ganglia from adult rats maintained in organ culture show a progressive increase in the rate of uptake of [(3)H]norepinephrine. The enhanced uptake of norepinephrine is a consequence of the development of axonal sprouts. Formation of axonal sprouts, which appear to have many of the properties of sympathetic nerve endings, is inhibited by colchicine and vinblastine, presumably because of the interaction of these drugs with neurotubular protein.
