Purpose: Previous studies have found that most cerebral oximeters are subject to inaccuracies secondary to extracranial contamination of the cerebral oximetric signals. We hypothesized that the more advanced second-generation FORE-SIGHT ELITE cerebral oximeter would be significantly less affected by extracranial tissue hypoxemia than the more widely used first-generation INVOS™ 5100C monitor.
Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers aged 18-45 yr had the INVOS and FORE-SIGHT probes placed on their forehead in a random sequence while in the supine position. A pneumatic head cuff was then placed around each volunteer's head just below both the oximeter and a concomitantly placed scalp forehead pulse oximeter probe. The subjects' scalp cerebral oxygen saturation (SctO2) values were measured and compared using the two different devices in sequence, both before and after scalp tissue ischemia was induced by the pneumatic cuff.
Results: Extracranial ischemia resulted in a significant reduction in SctO2 values from baseline in both devices. The INVOS 5100C recorded a median [interquartile range] decrease in SctO2 from baseline at five minutes of 15.1% [12.6 - 17.6], while that recorded by the FORESIGHT ELITE device was 8.6% [4.0 -12.3] at five minutes (median difference, 7.9%; 99% confidence interval, 1.9 to 16.5; P = 0.002).
Conclusion: Updated technological algorithms employed in the FORE-SIGHT ELITE cerebral oximeter may be responsible for less extracranial contamination than was observed in the previous-generation INVOS 5100C device. The impact that this extracranial contamination may have on the clinical use of these devices remains to be determined.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of microplastics (MPs) in the blood of patients with extracranial artery stenosis (ECAS) to understand their potential link to cardiovascular diseases.
- It involves 20 ECAS patients and 10 control subjects, revealing significantly higher MPs concentrations in the ECAS group (174.89 vs 79.82 μg/g).
- The findings suggest a correlation between higher MPs levels and more severe arterial stenosis, along with differences in blood markers like D-dimer and Thrombin Time between the two groups.
High-quality lipid suppression and B0 shimming for human brain H MRSI.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) is a powerful technique that can map the metabolic profile in the brain non-invasively. Extracranial lipid contamination and insufficient B homogeneity however hampers robustness, and as a result has hindered widespread use of MRSI in clinical and research settings. Over the last six years we have developed highly effective extracranial lipid suppression methods with a second order gradient insert (ECLIPSE) utilizing inner volume selection (IVS) and outer volume suppression (OVS) methods.

Background: Training in anastomosis is fundamental in neurosurgery due to the precision and dexterity required. Biological models, although realistic, present limitations such as availability, ethical concerns, and the risk of biological contamination. Synthetic models, on the other hand, offer durability and standardized conditions, although they sometimes lack anatomical realism.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined the reliability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for measuring cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing craniotomy, focusing on the impact of extracranial tissue on measurements taken from different locations – the forehead, skull, and dura mater.
- Results showed that while ScO values from the dura mater were similar to those from the skin, ScO values from the skull were significantly lower, suggesting the scalp contributes to the readings.
- The findings indicate that while NIRS is useful, careful consideration of measurement location is important, as readings from the skull may be affected by superficial tissues.
Mandibular and chin electrodes as a supplemental recording for detection of epileptiform discharges in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Background: We previously demonstrated the usefulness of periorbital electrodes in supplemental recording to detect epileptiform discharges in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). However, eye movement may disturb periorbital electrode recording. To overcome this, we developed mandibular (MA) and chin (CH) electrodes and examined whether these electrodes could detect hippocampal epileptiform discharges.
