Non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring in idiopathic intracranial hypertension and lumbar puncture in pediatric patient: Case report.

Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been variously explored as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality in many pathological conditions leading neurological injury. This monitoring standardly depends on an invasive procedure such as cranial or lumbar catheterization. The gold standard for ICP monitoring is through an intraventricular catheter, but this invasive technique is associated with certain risks such as haemorrhage and infection.

Intracranial pressure and laboratory parameters in high- and low-risk pregnant women.

Background: Pregnancy can trigger several pathological changes, thus representing a great challenge for gynecology and obstetrics. The objective is to evaluate high- and low-risk pregnant women through Intracranial pressure (ICP) and laboratory parameters.

Methods: Volunteers clinical and laboratory data were collected from medical records and ICP was monitored through noninvasive method.

Intracranial pressure waveform changes in Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known to cause an enormous impairment to the quality of life and impact in the health system; meanwhile, studies show that in the coming years, the number of affected individuals will continue to grow. It is also believed that amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) could represent an early symptomatic form of AD, which precedes dementia.

Methods: The present study aimed to evaluate the intracranial pressure (ICP) through a noninvasive method in patients with AD and MCI, seeking for differences when compared to healthy elderlies.
