Transmission of slow waves in Masimo O near infrared spectroscopy measures.

Introduction: Cerebral autoregulation (CA) dysfunction is a key complication following brain injury. CA assessment using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers a promising alternative to the current non-invasive standard, cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) measured with transcranial Doppler.

Research Question: Can autoregulatory slow waves (frequency range 0.

Digital health interventions for remote follow-up after mild traumatic brain injury.

Background: After a mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI,) a significant number of patients may experience persistent symptoms and disabilities for months to years. Early identification and timely management of persistent symptoms may help to reduce the long-term impacts of mild TBIs. There is currently no formalised method for identifying patients with persistent symptoms after mild TBI once they are discharged from emergency department.

Specialist healthcare services for concussion/mild traumatic brain injury in England: a consensus statement using modified Delphi methodology.

Objective: To establish a consensus on the structure and process of healthcare services for patients with concussion in England to facilitate better healthcare quality and patient outcome.

Design: This consensus study followed the modified Delphi methodology with five phases: participant identification, item development, two rounds of voting and a meeting to finalise the consensus statements. The predefined threshold for agreement was set at ≥70%.

A patient-reported outcome measure for patients with pituitary adenoma undergoing transsphenoidal surgery.

Purpose: Pituitary adenomas affect patients' quality-of-life (QoL) across several domains, with long-term implications even following gross-total resection or disease remission. While clinical outcomes can assess treatment efficacy, they do not capture variations in QoL. We present the development and validation of a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) for patients with pituitary adenomas undergoing transsphenoidal surgery.
