Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates changes in the optic nerve head and retina of brain-dead organ donors after varying durations of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • Researchers examined optic and retinal tissues from three donors, revealing significant differences in protein and mRNA expression related to astrocytic markers and inflammation depending on the duration of IOP elevation.
  • Findings suggest that longer periods of elevated IOP lead to more pronounced changes in both the optic nerve and retina, and highlight the potential of using this model for further understanding the mechanotranscriptomic responses in eye conditions.

Pain following craniotomy is common, however, achieving effective analgesia can be difficult. The assessment of pain postoperatively can be a challenge in patients who are obtunded (not fully alert) and the severity of pain has historically been underestimated. There are also concerns about side-effects from drugs, particularly with opioids, which may lead to reluctance to administer effective doses.
