Background: Intracerebral microdialysis is a sensitive tool to analyse tissue biochemistry, but the value of this technique to monitor cerebral metabolism during systemic haemorrhage is unknown. The present study was designed to assess changes of intracerebral microdialysis parameters both during systemic haemorrhage and after initiation of therapy.
Methods: Following approval of the Animal Investigational Committee, 18 healthy pigs underwent a penetrating liver trauma. Following haemodynamic decompensation, all animals received a hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution and either norepinephrine or arginine vasopressin, and bleeding was subsequently controlled. Extracellular cerebral concentrations of glucose (Glu), lactate (La), glycerol (Gly), and the lactate/pyruvate ratio (La/Py ratio) were assessed by microdialysis. Cerebral venous protein S-100B was determined. Haemodynamic data, blood gases, S-100B, and microdialysis variables were determined at baseline, at haemodynamic decompensation, and repeated after drug administration.
Results: Microdialysis measurements showed an increase of La, Gly, and La/Py ratio at BL Th compared to BL (mean +/- SEM; La 2.4 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.4 +/- 0.2 mmol x l(-1), p < 0.01; Gly 37 +/- 7 vs. 27 +/- 6 micromol x l(-1), n.s.; La/Py ratio 50 +/- 8 vs. 30 +/- 4, p < 0.01), followed by a further increase during the therapy phase (La 3.4 +/- 0.3 mmol x l(-1); Gly 69 +/- 10 micromol x l(-1); La/Py ratio 58 +/- 8; p < 0.001, respectively). Cerebral venous protein S-100B increased at decompensation and after therapy, but decreased close to baseline values after 90 min of therapy.
Conclusions: In this model of systemic haemorrhage, changes of cerebral energy metabolism detected by intracerebral microdialysis indicated anaerobic glycolysis and degradation of cellular membranes throughout the study period.

The subspecialty of neurocritical care has grown significantly over the past 40 years along with advancements in the medical and surgical management of neurological emergencies. The modern neuroscience intensive care unit (neuro-ICU) is grounded in close collaboration between neurointensivists and neurosurgeons in the management of patients with such conditions as ischemic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematomas, and traumatic brain injury. Neuro-ICUs are also capable of specialized monitoring such as serial neurological examinations by trained neuro-ICU nurses; invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure, cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral hemodynamics; cerebral microdialysis; and noninvasive monitoring, including the use of pupillometry, ultrasound monitoring of optic nerve sheath diameters, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and continuous electroencephalography.

Article Synopsis
- Eribulin is a microtubule dynamics inhibitor that shows potential for managing brain tumors, especially breast cancer brain metastases, due to its lower protein binding and resistance to P-glycoprotein extrusion.
- A clinical study involved administering eribulin to cancer patients post-tumor removal, with samples analyzed to measure its concentrations in the brain and plasma.
- Results indicated higher concentrations of eribulin in areas where the blood-brain barrier was disrupted, but overall levels in the brain were not enough to confirm consistent clinical effectiveness against brain tumors.

Article Synopsis
- Aberrations in lactate metabolism are significant after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and affect patient outcomes, but current methods to study metabolism are mostly invasive.
- This study introduces a noninvasive imaging technique using hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging (H-MRS/MRSI) to effectively assess metabolic changes following ICH in living subjects.
- The new imaging method showed a significantly better signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for the detection of increased lactate levels in ICH-affected rats compared to controls, indicating its potential for noninvasive evaluation of metabolic alterations related to ICH.

Background: Mass spectrometry (MS)-based cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics is an important method for discovering biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases. CSF serves as a reservoir for interstitial fluid (ISF), and extensive communication between the two fluid compartments helps to remove waste products from the brain.
New Method: We performed proteomic analyses of both CSF and ISF fluid compartments using intracerebral microdialysis to validate and detect novel biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in APPtg and C57Bl/6J control mice.

Objective: The local effects of an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on surrounding brain tissue can be detected bedside using multimodal brain monitoring techniques. The aim of this study is to design a gradient boosting regression model using the R package boostmtree with the ability to predict lactate-pyruvate ratio measurements in ICH.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 6 spontaneous ICH and 6 traumatic ICH patients who underwent surgical removal of the clot with microdialysis catheters placed in the perihematomal zone.
