Abstract: A method for treating a patient with migraine headache in accordance with the present invention generally includes administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a Botulinum toxin in a pharmaceutically safe form with the administration being on the trigeminal cervical system, for enabling axonal transport of the neurotoxin from distal to central sites. More specifically, the administration includes extramuscular injection of the neurotoxin over the aponeurotic fascia of the scalp for enabling the neurotoxin to diffuse into distal sensory nerves, in order to enable concentration over the occipital-parietal-frontal head region.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for evaluating the continuity of the enamel lining of metallic containers. The apparatus has been developed for quality control inspection of containers and is designed to ensure that the entire interior surface of the container is evaluated by the test. The apparatus utilizes cooperating carbon electrodes of opposite polarity, an electrolyte solution, a grounded container, an enabling circuit and a meter to measure current flow through defects or discontinuities in the enamel lining. The carbon electrodes include a primary or measuring electrode, and a short secondary or liquid sensing electrode.Electrolyte solution is added until contact is established between the primary and the sensing electrodes thereby activating an enabling circuit which is used to control the meter display.
