“We have the largest study to date on predicting intracranial hypertension with AI, and the first to provide external validation for an algorithm,” Gulamali says. He hopes that doctors in the ICU could one day use this AI tool to monitor intracranial pressure without having to measure it di...
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a bedside, low-cost, and non-invasive technique able to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics ; the implementation of transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) aids in evaluating the brain anatomy...

These are mainly used to treat glaucoma, but also altitude sickness, epilepsy, andidiopathic intracranial hypertension (increased pressure around your brain due to fluid buildup in your skull). These drugs reduce the activity of an enzyme in the kidneys calledcarbonic anhydrase. They prevent the re...
Here is a picture of the temperature and humidity monitor in my home office. Note that while outdoor humidity is 55%, indoor humidity is only 34%, short of the “ideal” range for decreased viral transmission and severity. We have a humidifier in our bedroom where the RH is higher. ...
Intracranial pressure: why we monitor it, how to monitor it, what to do with the number and what's the future? PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The review touches upon the current physiopathological concepts relating to the field of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and offe... A Lavinio,DK Menon ...
pragmatic approach in cases of major bleeding, it is suggested that platelet transfusion should be given to maintain the platelet count at >50 × 109/l, although higher thresholds may be indicated in patients with intracranial/spinal bleeding, or in actively bleeding patients with falling platelet ...
12 An elevated level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein also suggests an increased risk of thromboembolic events like heart attack and stroke, and may be used to monitor progression of atherosclerosis.332,333 In addition, fibrinogen level is a more specific indicator of thrombosis risk, since ...
“toolbox” to enhance our understanding further. Diffusion tensor imaging, for example, could be used to determine the effects of treatment on grey vs. white matter, while quantitative blood oxygenation level-dependent imaging or spectroscopy could monitor tissue metabolism. If contrast is to be ...
