Summary
The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-III beta) updates diagnostic criteria for numerous headache types, introducing new entities and refining existing ones for better clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Headache Medicine
Context:
- The International Headache Society (IHS) released the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-III beta).
- This classification is the global standard for diagnosing headaches.
Purpose:
- To review updates in the ICHD-III beta, including new headache entities and clarified diagnostic criteria.
- To compare revised criteria with the previous edition.
Summary:
- Significant revisions were made to chronic migraine, medication-overuse headache, and other primary headache disorders.
- New headache entities include external-compression headache, cold-stimulus headache, and nummular headache.
- The appendix includes emerging headache types such as vestibular migraine.
Impact:
- The IHS recommends adopting ICHD-III beta for clinical practice, education, and research.
- Widespread knowledge and implementation of the new classification are encouraged for improved headache diagnosis and management.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

01:14Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction
1
Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component...

Heart failure can be classified in various ways, with the most common classifications based on physical activity limitations, disease progression, severity, and treatment strategies.The Functional Classification of Heart Failure divides patients into four categories based on physical activity limitation due to symptom burden.Class I: Patients in this class have cardiac disease but no physical activity limitations. Ordinary activities like walking, climbing stairs, or routine tasks do not cause...

01:29Increased Intracranial Pressure ll: Pathophysiology
2
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) refers to a potentially life-threatening rise in pressure inside the skull. This usually happens when there is a major change in the volume of brain tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the three components inside the skull. According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, if the volume of one component increases, the volumes of the other components must decrease to maintain normal pressure. If this does not happen, ICP rises.The process often begins...

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...
