Seymour , 31, was arraigned Friday on one count of aggravated battery to a child, with exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty, for shaking, battering and biting his 3-month-old son, Sebastian, causing traumatic brain injury.

Older migraine sufferers may be more likely to have silent brain injury, according to research published in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke. In a new study, people with a history of migraine headaches had double the odds of ischemic silent brain infarction compared to people who said they didn't have migraines. Silent brain infarction is a brain injury likely caused by a blood clot interrupting blood flow to brain tissue.

High blood pressure, another important stroke risk factor, was more common … Continue reading →
