Summary
American medical education has increasingly specialized since World War II, leading to the creation of Headache Medicine as a neurologic subspecialty in 2005. Our review covers the Brigham and Women
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Medical Education
Background:
- Post-WWII saw a rise in medical specialization in American medical education.
- The United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) established Headache Medicine in 2005.
Discussion:
- The Brigham and Women's Hospital Department of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, established an accredited training program in 2008.
- The program has successfully trained 14 specialists in Headache Medicine.
Key Insights:
- The formalization of Headache Medicine training reflects a growing need for specialized neurological care.
- The program's success indicates a viable model for subspecialty medical education.
Outlook:
- Further development of subspecialty training programs in neurology is anticipated.
- Continued growth in Headache Medicine is expected to improve patient care.

1.5K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
