Safety of argatroban to address heparin hypersensitivity in open and interventional carotid procedures Open
Background: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or heparin-induced hypersensitivity reactions pose a challenge for periprocedural anticoagulation. Direct thrombin inhibitors are an alternative anticoagulant; however, limited literature is ava…

Radiation-induced cavernous malformations in the spine: patient series Open
BACKGROUND Radiation-induced spinal cord cavernous malformations (RISCCMs) are a rare subset of central nervous system lesions and are more clinically aggressive than congenital cavernous malformations (CMs). The authors assessed the chara…

Electroencephalography for detection of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a retrospective analysis and systematic review Open
OBJECTIVE Good functional outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are often dependent on early detection and treatment of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). There is growing evidence that continu…

High Interobserver Agreement in the Subjective Classification of 5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Fluorescence Levels in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastomas Open
Background and Objectives Fluorescence‐guided resection of glioblastomas (GBM) using 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) improves intraoperative tumor visualization and is thus widely used nowadays. During resection, different fluorescence level…

Inhibition of glutaminase to reverse fibrosis in iatrogenic laryngotracheal stenosis Open
Objectives/Hypothesis Glutamine metabolism is a critical energy source for iatrogenic laryngotracheal stenosis (iLTS) scar fibroblasts, and glutaminase (GLS) is an essential enzyme converting glutamine to glutamate. We hypothesize that the…
