It's a lunar eclipse night; no, it's not a vengeful monster devouring the Moon

Days after the largest solar eclipse of the century in Portugal, it is now the turn of a lunar eclipse, although not total in the country, reaching a maximum of 83%. The article debunks seven popular myths about lunar eclipses, including the belief that they are signs of bad omens, unfounded theories about effects on pregnancy and babies, and the legend of a mythological jaguar. It explains that a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth positions itself between the Sun and the Moon, and unlike a solar eclipse, it can be observed with the naked eye. The phenomenon will be visible in Portugal between 2:30 AM and 7:10 AM, with its peak around 5:10 AM.

Dr. Andrea Melo explains study that associates daily bruxism to chronic migraine

Dentist Andréa Melo explains a groundbreaking Brazilian research conducted by the Headache Center Brasil, presented at the 22nd Congress of the International Headache Society, which identified a high prevalence of awake bruxism in patients with chronic migraine. The study, conducted using surface electromyography, showed that both conditions share the same neurological mechanism: hyperactivation of the trigeminal nerve, which runs through the facial muscles. Melo's clinical observation, which she has noted for years in patients referred by neurologists, now has scientific backing.
