Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH)
are common primary disorders that carry significant morbidity and
socioeconomic effect. In this article, we will review the epidemiology,
presentation, and diagnosis of these disorders. First-line acute
treatment for migraine consists of analgesics, triptans, and
antiemetics, while nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the mainstay
treatment for TTH. Patients with frequent or chronic headaches warrant
prophylactic therapy. For migraine, various classes of preventives can
be used (β-blockers, tricyclics, antiepileptics, botulinum toxin), with
the choice of therapy tailored to the patient's risk factors and
symptoms. For TTH, tricyclics have the most evidence as prophylactic
therapy. A new class of medication, monoclonal antibodies to calcitonin
gene receptor peptide or its receptor, became available in 2018, and is
the first class of medication specifically designed to treat migraine.
In addition to pharmacotherapy, we will also review nonpharmacologic
interventions as well as neuromodulation for migraine.

Anti- Cancer properties of Onions and garlic.
Aside from their ability to inject deep flavor into almost any meal, onions and garlic might also protect against cancer, according to a recent study.
Earlier studies have shown that certain compounds in allium vegetables — including flavanols and organosulfur compounds — are bioactive.Garlic, onions, leeks, chives, and shallots are classed as allium vegetables.
They are grown throughout much of the world and form the bedrock of family meals far and wide.
Some have been shown to hinder the development of cancer.
Scientists from the First Hospital of China Medical University recently set out to understand whether consuming greater amounts of these vegetables might prevent people from developing colorectal cancer. They recently published their results in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Not counting skin cancers, colorectal cancer, also called bowel cancer, is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women in the United States.
Researchers are aware of certain dietary risk factors, such as consuming high levels of red or processed meats. However, they know less about foods that might protect against bowel cancer.
