New Treatment for Chronic Migraine Sufferers by Hannah Joy on May 6, 2021 at 4:29 PM
About 14% of the world population is suffering from migraine
The new migraine therapy helps restore microtubule or the neuronal plasticity
New way to treat chronic migraine has been discovered by researchers, where a new cellular mechanism helps prevent migraines by restoring neuronal plasticity.
Amynah Pradhan, associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois Chicago, is the senior author of the study, whose goal was to identify a new mechanism of chronic migraine, and propose a cellular pathway for migraine therapies.

New genetic mutation increases risk for atrial fibrillation, heart failure in Black people
A new mutation found in a gene associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation poses a significantly increased risk for heart failure in Black people.
The discovery, made by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago, could change current guidelines that recommend against genetic testing in people with atrial fibrillations, also known as AFib.
We found that this new variant confers a significantly increased risk in African Americans, and this mutation has a 50% chance of being passed on to offspring. Since it increases risk for heart failure, it would be wise to test people with atrial fibrillation to see if they carry this dangerous gene.
Locations under the order include buildings east of Sacramento Avenue and north of 119th Street and those west of Interstate 57 to southwest of Beverly Avenue. The boil order is in effect until further notice. The Chicago Department of Water Management is conducting a whole investigation into how the incident occurred and will take appropriate steps based on those findings to provide similar situations in the future, Chang said during a press conference Thursday.
Further information on what caused the issue or how long the order would remain in effect was not immediately released. OEMC initially said a power outage was believed to be behind the issue, but ComEd said in a statement that it had not found evidence of a power outage in the area.
