han patients with migraine without vestibular symptoms. Our data support the initiation of a prospective study to determine whether a patient presenting with occipital headaches, with late onset of age of headache, and with a history of motion sickness is at an increased risk for the possible development of vestibular migraine.Machine learning (ML) is increasingly recognized as a useful tool in healthcare applications, including epilepsy. One of the most important applications of ML in epilepsy is seizure detection and prediction, using wearable devices (WDs). However, not all currently available algorithms implemented in WDs are using ML. In this review, we summarize the state of the art of using WDs and ML in epilepsy, and we outline future development in these domains. There is published evidence for reliable detection of epileptic seizures using implanted electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes and wearable, non-EEG devices. Application of ML using the data recorded with WDs from a large number of patients could change radically the way we diagnose and manage patients with epilepsy.The genome of many organisms contains several loci consisting of duplicated genes that are arrayed in tandem. The daughter genes produced by duplication typically exhibit differential expression patterns with each other or otherwise experience pseudogenization. Selleck Cobimetinib Remarkably, opsin genes in fish are preserved after many duplications in different lineages. This fact indicates that fish opsin genes are characterized by a regulatory mechanism that could intrinsically facilitate the differentiation of the expression patterns. However, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie the differential expression patterns or how they were established during evolution. The loci of green (RH2)- and red (LWS)-sensitive cone opsin genes in zebrafish have been used as model systems to study the differential regulation of tandemly arrayed opsin genes. Over a decade of studies have uncovered several mechanistic features that might have assisted the differentiation and preservation of duplicated genes. Furthermore, recent progress in the understanding of the transcriptional process in general has added essential insights. In this article, the current understanding of the transcriptional regulation of differentially expressed tandemly arrayed cone opsin genes in zebrafish is summarized and a possible evolutionary scenario that could achieve this differentiation is discussed. There is an established association between depression and subsequent dementia. The present study examined temporal associations between incident late-life depression and subsequent dementia, also considering age and sex. We used longitudinal health claims data from the largest German health insurance provider ('Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse') considering up to 9 follow-up years in piecewise exponential models. ICD-10 codes were used to define incident depression and dementia in individuals ≥65years (n=97110). Incident depression was associated with a higher risk of subsequent dementia (incidence rate ratios (IRR) adjusted for age and sex IRR=1.58, 95% CI=1.51-1.64). The strongest association was found for the shortest interval of 1 quarter (IRR=2.04, 95% CI=1.88-2.21), with significant associations up to an interval of roughly 3years. The association was more pronounced and lasted for more quarters in the younger portion of this study group (ages from 65-74 IRR=2.00, 95% CI=1.83-2.18; 75-84 IRR=1.64, 95% CI=1.55-1.73; ≥85 IRR=1.19, 95% CI=1.08-1.31). It was stronger among men than women (men IRR=1.98, 95% CI=1.84-2.14; women IRR=1.44, 95% CI=1.37-1.51) with no sex-specific temporal association. This large claims data study confirmed that incident late-life depression is associated with a higher risk of dementia within the 3years following diagnosis. Hence, incident late-life depression should prompt further cognitive examinatio
