This book aims to provide clinicians and other practitioners and professionals with up-to-date information on how to evaluate and manage headaches in children and adolescents, highlighting the most recent recommendations. Unlike in other books on the subject, detailed attention is devoted to the various comorbidities commonly associated with headache, including psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and learning disabilities and medical conditions such as epilepsy, vascular disorders, brain tumors, atopic disease, and obesity. The intimate link between these conditions and headache is explained with a view to enabling the reader to recognize their presence and, on that basis, to institute the most effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatment strategy. Moreover, knowledge of the comorbidities associated with headache will help readers to understand more fully the causes of this serious disorder and also its consequences, e.g., for school performance, relationships, and daily activities. The authors are all international experts who care for children with headache or the other described disorders.

This book focuses on disorders of calcium channels and the use of drugs to treat calcium-related disorders and their associated toxicities. In particular, it discusses the role of various natural products and their attributes in preventing problems associated with calcium imbalances. In addition, the book analyzes trends in the processing of natural products using nanotechnology and their implications in calcium-related disorders. Lastly, it explores some of the most promising aspects of research into calcium signalling disorders – which is especially important, given the wide variety of cellular processes that are controlled by calcium ions – and provides a trustworthy source of up-to-date information in this area of research.
Epilepsy and migraine are two frequent chronic neurological disorders which have complex links. Their comorbidity is well established by epidemiological data. Both are characterised by recurrent epileptic or migrainous attacks, sometimes intermingled. Their clinical symptoms may overlap. Moreover, some drug therapies can be used for both disorders. What is this so particular link? This is exactly what this book aims to show! This book reports the most recent progresses observed in all the fields covered by epilepsy and migraine. Epileptologists, who sometimes are not familiar with those fields, will find information on physiopathology, genetics and clinical classifications of migraine. Edited by famous international specialists of migraine and/or epilepsy, this book will be essential to physicians in charge of this double therapeutic approach.
