    Abstract Hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are the most common causes of cerebral microbleeds. The pattern of microbleeds on T2*-weighted gradient echo sequence of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain can be indicative of the etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage. We describe a case of cerebellar hemorrhage with cerebral microbleeds secondary to chronic hypertension.

    Abstract Unrecognized transmission of pathogens in healthcare settings can lead to colonization and infection of both patients and healthcare personnel. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is an important strategy to protect healthcare personnel from contamination and to prevent the spread of pathogens to subsequent patients. However, optimal PPE use is difficult, and healthcare personnel may alter delivery of care because of the PPE. Here, we summarize recent research from the Prevention Epicenters Program on healthcare personnel contamination and improvement of the routine use of PPE as well as Ebola-specific PPE. Future efforts to optimize the use of PPE should include increasing adherence to protocols for PPE use, improving PPE design, and further research into the risks, benefits, and best practices of PPE use.

    Abstract Introduction: The effectiveness of orthodontic treatment depends on precise control of the anterior teeth during retraction in sliding mechanics. That is why researchers were interested in finding the appropriate loading conditions for sliding mechanics to govern anterior teeth's movement, such as the height of retraction force application and its location on the arch wire.
    Methods:  A FEM study was conducted to evaluate the type of movement of anterior teeth during en-masse retraction by applying 200 gms of force to each side of the maxillary arch with power arms set at various levels (4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm) mesial to canine from mini-screw placed at a height of 8 mm between maxillary first molar and second premolar. A 3D model (FEM) of the maxillary arch was constructed to study the amount of labio-lingual tipping and bodily displacement of maxillary central incisor achieved.
    Results:  When a 200-gm power was applied to the power arm, controlled lingual crown tipping was seen at the levels of 4 mm and 6 mm, in contrast to the level of 8 mm, where bodily displacement occurred, according to this evaluation.  Conclusion: In sliding mechanics, the height of the power arm plays an important role in obtaining controlled lingual crown tipping or bodily displacement during retraction of anterior teeth.

    Abstract Background: There is considerable debate regarding the use of intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) in deep brain stimulation (DBS).
    Objective: To determine if the use of intraoperative MER impacts the final position of the lead implant in DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus (GPi) and to evaluate the incidence of complications.
    Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent STN and GPi DBS with MER, at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston from June 1, 2009 to October 1, 2013 to compare initial and final coordinates. Hemorrhagic and infectious complications were reviewed.
    Results: A total of 90 lead implants on 46 patients implanted at the center during this time period were reviewed and included in the study. A statistically significant difference between the initial and final coordinates was observed in the superior-inferior direction with a mean difference of 0.40 mm inferiorly (±0.96 mm, P<0.05) and 0.96 mm inferiorly (±1.32 mm, P<0.05) in the STN and GPi locations, respectively. A nonstatistically significant difference was also observed in the anterior-posterior direction in both locations. There were no intraparenchymal hemorrhages on postoperative computed tomography. Two patients developed postoperative seizures (7.4%). One STN electrode (1.1%) required revision because of a suboptimal response.
    Conclusions: Intraoperative MER in STN and GPi DBS implant does not seem to have a higher rate of surgical complications compared with historical series not using MER and might also be useful in determining the final lead location.

    Abstract Purpose of review: An 80-year-old man presents with an acute right hemiparesis and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 25, 14 h after taking dabigatran. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is 42.8 s. Arteriogram demonstrates left internal carotid artery thrombosis. What is the appropriate management of this patient with acute ischemic stroke while on a NOAC?
    Recent findings: Idarucizumab is a reversal agent approved for dabigatran, and two more reversal agents, andexanet alfa and aripazine, are currently in development for NOACs. In this article, we review currently available NOACs, their laboratory monitoring, and reversal agents.

    Abstract Chlorhexidine bathing to prevent transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms has been adopted by many U.S. hospitals, but increasing chlorhexidine use has raised concerns about possible emergence of resistance. We sought to establish a broth microdilution method for determining chlorhexidine MICs and then used the method to evaluate chlorhexidine MICs for bacteria that can cause health care-associated infections. We adapted a broth microdilution method for determining chlorhexidine MICs, poured panels, established quality control ranges, and tested Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter cloacae complex isolates collected at three U.S. sites. Chlorhexidine MICs were determined for 535 isolates including 129 S. aureus, 156 E. coli, 142 K. pneumoniae, and 108 E. cloacae complex isolates. The respective MIC distributions for each species ranged from 1 to 8 mg/L (MIC
