Acute large vessel occlusion stroke as a neurovascular complication of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: Mechanical thrombectomy and neurocritical care challenges

Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy caused by severe ADAMTS13 deficiency. Although TTP is known to produce diffuse microvascular neurological injury, its presentation as an acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke requiring...

Neural Indicators of Inhibition in Tinnitus: Onset–Offset and Sensory Gating Auditory Evoked Potentials Vary by Stimulus Frequency and Tinnitus Severity

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stimulus frequency and tinnitus severity on measurements indicative of inhibition called onset–offset and sensory gating auditory evoked potentials (AEPs). The specific aims were to (a) determine the effect of stimu...
