Background: In a previously introduced mathematical model, intracranial pressure (ICP) was noninvasively assessed using cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and arterial blood pressure (ABP). In this study this method is evaluated using new data from patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Materials And Methods: Three hundred fifteen data recordings of 137 patients (114 men; age 14-78 years, mean age 37 ± 17 years) with severe TBI were studied. CBFV, ABP, and invasively assessed ICP were simultaneously recorded for 1 h. Noninvasive ICP (nICP) was calculated and compared with ICP.
Results: On 315 recordings, average deviation between ICP and nICP (± standard deviation) was 4.9 ± 3.3 mmHg. The standard deviation of differences (ICP - nICP) was 5.6 mmHg. The 95 % confidence interval of ICP prediction ranged from -9.6 to 12.3 mmHg. Mean ICP was 16.7 mmHg and mean nICP was 18.0 mmHg. When nICP was adjusted by their difference 1.3 mmHg (nICPadj = nICP - 1.3), the 95 % confidence limits of ICP prediction became ±11.0 mmHg. In recordings with highly dynamic ICP signals (n = 27), ICP and nICP correlated on average with R = 0.51 ± 0.47.
Conclusions: nICP assessment showed reasonable accuracy and may be used in clinical studies of patients without any indication for ICP probe implantation.

Delving into nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in shallow eutrophic lakes: Multi-interface response to freeze-thaw cycles.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on nutrient transfer in lakes is essential to tackling eutrophication, particularly in cold areas; however, current data on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) release during these cycles is scarce.
- Samples were collected during both ice-covered and non-ice-covered periods, revealing that nutrient levels in surface water were higher during non-ice-covered times and showing distinct vertical profiles of TN and TP in sediments.
- The study found that sediments can act as both sinks and sources of nutrients, with environmental factors accounting for about 46.45% of the variation in nutrient levels, highlighting the role of freeze-thaw cycles in nutrient cycling in shallow lakes.
Noninvasive intracranial pressure profile in 31 patients submitted to fullendoscopic spine surgery.

Universidade de São Paulo - Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto - Departmento de Cirurgia e Anatomia - Ribeirão Preto (SP) - Brazil.
Purpose: Full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) is associated with specific complications, possibly linked to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from continuous saline infusion into the epidural space. This study aimed to assess the impact of saline irrigation and its correlation with noninvasively obtained ICP waveform changes.
Methods: Patients undergoing FESS between January 2019 and November 2020 were included.
A pilot clinical study to estimate intracranial pressure utilising cerebral photoplethysmograms in traumatic brain injury patients.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)

Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering, School of Science & Technology, University of London, London, EC1V 0HB, UK.
Purpose: In this research, a non-invasive intracranial pressure (nICP) optical sensor was developed and evaluated in a clinical pilot study. The technology relied on infrared light to probe brain tissue, using photodetectors to capture backscattered light modulated by vascular pulsations within the brain's vascular tissue. The underlying hypothesis was that changes in extramural arterial pressure could affect the morphology of recorded optical signals (photoplethysmograms, or PPGs), and analysing these signals with a custom algorithm could enable the non-invasive calculation of intracranial pressure (nICP).

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is necessary for managing patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although gold-standard methods include intraventricular or intraparenchymal transducers, these systems cannot be used in patients with coagulopathies or in those who are at high risk of catheter-related infections, nor can they be used in resource-constrained settings. Therefore, a non-invasive modality that is more widely available, cost effective, and safe would have tremendous impact.

Purpose: Invasive neuromonitoring could be difficult in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study aimed to determine whether noninvasive intracranial pressure (nICP), calculated via pulsatility index (PI) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) had correlated with each other and patient outcome.
Methods: All moderate-severe TBI patients were eligible.
