Despite difficulties in providing xenon anaesthesia, xenon still seems to be attractive for neurosurgical procedures. But data upon its effect on intracranial (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) remains controversial. We monitored ICP and CPP in patients with or without intracranial hypertension during xenon inhalation in different concentrations. Our results suggest that caution should be used while inhaling xenon in high anaesthetic concentration in patients wiith known intracranial hypertension. We also address new possibilities of xenon use, e.g., for sedation in neurosurgery. The study was supported by Russian Fund for Fundamental Research, grant number 13-04-01640.

The Circle of Willis (CW) is a critical cerebrovascular structure that supports collateral blood flow to maintain brain perfusion and compensate for eventual occlusions. Increased tortuosity of highrisk vessels within the CW has been implicated as a marker in the progression of cerebrovascular diseases especially in structures like the internal carotid artery (ICA). This is partly due to age-related plaque deposition or arterial stiffening.

Functional brain changes such as altered cerebral blood flow occur long before the onset of clinical symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. While cerebral hypoperfusion occurs in established AD, middle-aged carriers of genetic risk factors for AD, including APOE ε4, display regional hyperperfusion due to hypothesised pleiotropic or compensatory effects, representing a possible early biomarker of AD and facilitating earlier AD diagnosis. However, it is not clear whether hyperperfusion already exists even earlier in life.

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring-mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), hemoglobin levels (Hb), and temperature-as well as neurological monitoring-intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. We hypothesized that these parameters alone were not sufficient to assess the risk of cerebral ischemia.

Background: Pretreatment CT perfusion (CTP) marker relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) < 42% lesion volume has recently shown to predict poor collateral status and poor 90-day functional outcome. However, there is a paucity of studies assessing its association with hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Here, we aim to assess the relationship between rCBV < 42% lesion volume with HT.

Plasma biomarkers have great potential in the screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, findings on their associations with cerebral perfusion and structural changes are inconclusive. We examined both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between plasma biomarkers and cerebral blood flow (CBF), gray matter (GM) volume, and white matter (WM) integrity.
