Objective: To evaluate whether two newly developed indexes of brain tissue oxygen pressure reactivity (ORx and bPtio2) provide information on the status of cerebrovascular autoregulation after traumatic brain injury. This was accomplished by analyzing the relationship between these indexes and an index of cerebrovascular pressure reactivity (PRx). PRx is an established parameter for estimation of cerebrovascular autoregulation.
Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.
Setting: Neurosurgical intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Patients: Twenty-seven patients suffering from severe traumatic brain injury.
Interventions: Continuous monitoring of mean arterial blood pressure, intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and partial pressure of brain tissue oxygen (Ptio2) was performed for an average of 6.5 days. ORx was calculated as a moving correlation coefficient between values of cerebral perfusion pressure and Ptio2. The bPtio2 was calculated as a moving value of the slope of the linear regression function between cerebral perfusion pressure and Ptio2. PRx was calculated as a moving correlation coefficient between values for intracranial pressure and mean arterial blood pressure. Outcome was assessed at 6 months after traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Outcome Scale).
Measurements And Main Results: Both ORx and bPtio2 correlated significantly with PRx (r=.55 for ORx, r=.52 for bPtio2, p<.01). PRx and ORx showed a significantly negative correlation to the monitored Ptio2 values (r=-.42 for PRx, r=-.41 for ORx, p<.05) and outcome (r=-.52 for PRx, r=-.62 for ORx, p<.01), whereas bPtio2 did not.
Conclusions: ORx and, to a lesser extent, bPtio2 correlated with the autoregulatory marker PRx and provide additional information about the status of cerebrovascular autoregulation after traumatic brain injury. The data also suggested that patients with impaired autoregulation are at increased risk for secondary cerebral hypoxia.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Background: The pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) involves dysregulation of stress-sensitive biological systems due to repeated trauma exposure, predisposing individuals to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Allostatic load (AL), an indicator of maladaptive stress responses, could shed light on the underlying biological mechanisms. We determined whether CVD risk and AL were associated with trauma load and resilience in women with PTSD and trauma-exposed controls (TEC).

Background: This retrospective study aimed to identify key prognostic factors for patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (TICH) and develop a comprehensive nomogram for prognostic assessment.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on TICH patients at a single-center hospital from October 2013 to September 2022. Using logistic regression analyses, key prognostic factors for TICH were identified and used to create a predictive nomogram model.

Coagulation factors are intrinsically expressed in various brain cells, including astrocytes and microglia. Their interaction with the inflammatory system is important for the well-being of the brain, but they are also crucial in the development of many diseases in the brain such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. The cellular effects of coagulation are mediated mainly by protease-activated receptors.

Background: Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this consensus was to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
