Intracranial Pressure Variability Associates with 3-Month Outcomes in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Analysis of 597 Patients.

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of stroke, and most favorable treatments to improve patients' neurologic outcomes are not clear. Invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is a common treatment of ICH, but whether patients with ICH could benefit from ICP monitoring is controversial. ICP variability (IPV) has been shown to correlate with poor outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury, but this association has not been clearly elucidated in patients with ICH.

Lipid metabolism: the potential targets for toxoplasmosis treatment.

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). The current treatment for toxoplasmosis remains constrained due to the absence of pharmaceutical interventions.

Characteristics and therapeutic profile of TBI patients who underwent bilateral decompressive craniectomy: experience with 151 cases.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring are common approaches to reduce the death rate of Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, but the outcomes of these patients are unfavorable, particularly those who receive bilateral DC. The authors discuss their experience using ICP and other potential methods to improve the outcomes of TBI patients who receive bilateral DC.

Methods: Data from TBI patients receiving bilateral DC from Jan.

[Feasibility study of protecting ulnar nerve by ultrasound in treating children with supracondylar fracture of humerus by closed reduction and intercross needle fixation].

Objective: To explore feasibility of protecting ulnar nerve by ultrasound in treating children with supracondylar fracture of humerus by closed reduction and intercross needle fixation.

Methods: From January 2018 to December 2019, 63 children with supracondylar fractures of humerus were divided into two groups(ultrasound group and X-ray group) depend on the different ways of guidance. Therer were 32 children in ultrasound group treated with closed reduction and Kirschner wire fixation guided by ultrasound, including 20 males and 12 females, aged from 3 to 11 years old with an average of (6.

[Determination of the lung function by impulse oscillometry in 549 healthy children in Chengdu area].

Objective: Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a new method for determination of breathing mechanics, which features convenient operation, good repeatability and wider range analysis. As there is no standardized normal value in China at present, this study will provide a normal value of lung function determination by impulse oscillometry for children in Chengdu area.

Method: Totally 549 children were chosen at random from Chengdu area, with 292 boys and 257 girls who were 4 to 14 years old.
