The neuropsychiatry of tinnitus: a circuit-based approach to the causes and treatments available
In conclusion, a review of the literature demonstrates the varied neuropsychiatric manifestations of tinnitus. Imaging studies help to explain the mechanism of the association. However, more research is needed to elucidate the neurocircuitry underlying the association.

The outlook for non-invasive electrical brain stimulation
Over a decade since the initial establishment of modern transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), the field of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has blossomed to include a range of techniques (e.g., alternating current (tACS), random noise (tRNS), and pulsed current stimulation), and a diverse array of applications (e.g., depression, pain, tinnitus, stroke, and schizophrenia). At the cusp of even broader dissemination of tES as a tool for the treatment and rehabilitation of brain disorders, the study of brain function, and brain enhancement, it is incumbent to consolidate what have we learned and what remains to be addressed.

Safety of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Children and Adolescents
Conclusion Our findings indicate that both repetitive TMS and tCS are safe modalities in children and adolescents with various neurological conditions, especially when safety guidelines are followed. The incidence of adverse events appears to be similar to that observed in adults; however, further studies with longer treatment and follow-up periods are needed to better understand the benefits and tolerance of long-term use of NIBS in children.

Impact of initial symptom for accurate diagnosis of vertebral artery dissection
ConclusionsIn our study, headache and/or neck pain, especially unilateral presentation, and vertigo were symptoms associated with the stratification of Spontaneous Cervicocephalic Arterial Dissections Study criteria. Physicians should carefully obtain clinical history for the presence of a unilateral headache and/or neck pain and vertigo when vertebral artery dissection is suspected in patients with or without objective neurological signs.

A 69-year-old woman with a "sweet" cause of instability
A 69-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with dizziness and instability. She had a history of peripheral vertigo, tinnitus, and one episode of orthostatic syncope in recent years; her only daily medication was zolpidem. Her past medical history was unremarkable.

Bullous pemphigoid and neurodegenerative diseases: a study in a setting of a Central European university dermatology department.
Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering dermatosis of the elderly mediated by IgG and IgE antibodies to skin hemidesmosomal proteins, BP180 and/or BP230, that occur physiologically also in neuronal tissue. It was reported that BP is associated with neurodegenerative diseases (ND). We performed a retrospective study in a setting of a Central European university dermatology department on prevalence of ND in 94 BP patients. 26 out of 94 BP patients had at least one ND. ND included: Parkinson's disease, dementia, stroke, hear loss, tinnitus, blindness, vertigo, neurosyphilis, systemic sclerosis, a...

Enhancing Rehabilitative Therapies with Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Abstract
Pathological neural activity could be treated by directing specific plasticity to renormalize circuits and restore function. Rehabilitative therapies aim to promote adaptive circuit changes after neurological disease or injury, but insufficient or maladaptive plasticity often prevents a full recovery. The development of adjunctive strategies that broadly support plasticity to facilitate the benefits of rehabilitative interventions has the potential to improve treatment of a wide range of neurological disorders. Recently, stimulation of the vagus nerve in conjunction with rehabilitation has emerged as one ...

Abstract 145: Differences in Presenting Symptoms of Fibromuscular Dysplasia Patients With Family History of Fibromuscular Dysplasia, Arterial Aneurysm, Dissection, or Sudden Death: A Report from the United States Registry for Fibromuscular Dysplasia Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: Patients with a family history of FMD, arterial aneurysm (AA), dissection (AD), or sudden death (SD) more commonly had extracranial arterial bed complications, and experienced symptoms related to this vascular territory at time of diagnosis. These results suggest that FMD may present differently in those with this family history.

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Fibromuscular Dysplasia: An Update for Cardiologists
Opinion statement
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an arteriopathy of unknown etiology which has traditionally been associated with secondary hypertension; however, it has garnered increased attention in the cardiology field in the recent years because of its potential association with spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Cardiologists should be aware that FMD is a polyvascular disease which can affect any arterial bed and can result in morbid conditions such as chronic headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, stroke from cervical artery dissection, and renal infarction from renal artery dissection and has also been ass...

Imaging Manifestations of Neurologic Complications in Anemia
The hallmark signs and symptoms of anemia are directly related to a decrease in oxygen delivery to vital tissues and organs and include pallor, fatigue, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath. Neurologic complications are often nonspecific and can include poor concentration, irritability, faintness, tinnitus, and headache. If undiagnosed or untreated, anemia can progress to cognitive dysfunction, psychosis, encephalopathy, myelopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and more focal syndromes, such as stroke, seizures, chorea, and transverse myelitis. Imaging can play an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of these ...

Acute Stroke in a Girl with an Absent Radial Pulse
A 13 year-old right-handed girl woke with left-sided tinnitus, left facial burning, slurred speech, and confusion. Past medical history included poorly controlled ulcerative colitis, von Willebrand’s disease type 2, and anemia [hemoglobin 9.2 g/dL; normal 11.2-14.8 g/dL]. Medications included mercaptopurine, mesalamine, and ferrous sulfate.

Position statement: Harmful effects of environmental noise exposures
The American Academy of Nursing promotes the reduction of environmental noise, which is defined as unwanted or disturbing sound (EPA, n.d.). Sources of this noise include household equipment, recreational activities, concerts, roads, railways, airports, and industrial sites. Noise is more than an annoyance; it is a public health hazard, having a significant impact on the health of our nation and its economic well-being. It has been well documented that noise exposure contributes to hearing loss, tinnitus, heart disease, stroke, anxiety, stress, depression, learning difficulties, job performance, sleep disorders, and reduce...
