Article Synopsis
  • Optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt) treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients requires collecting multi-modal monitoring data for 2-8 hours to determine individual CPPopt values.
  • A study analyzed data from 87 severe TBI patients to improve algorithms for identifying CPPopt, ABPopt (arterial blood pressure), ICPopt (intracranial pressure), and cerebrovascular autoregulation limits.
  • Machine learning algorithms were developed that accurately identify useful data segments within 24 minutes, improving the identification of optimal values and management strategies for 79% of the monitoring time, but further clinical studies are needed to validate their effectiveness.

Many studies have been carried out on the negative health effects of exposure to PM, PM , NO, CO, SO and B[a]P for small populations. The main purpose of this study was to explore the association of air pollution to diagnosis of asthma for the whole huge population of school children between 7-17 years in Vilnius (Lithuania) using geographical information system analysis tools. In the research, a child population of 51,235 individuals was involved.

Background: This study aimed to assess the trends in the prevalence of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities from 1986 to 2015 and impact of ECG abnormalities on risk of death from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the Lithuanian population aged 40-64 years.

Methods: Data from four surveys carried out in Kaunas city and five randomly selected municipalities of Lithuania were analysed. A resting ECG was recorded and CVD risk factors were measured in each survey.
