Background: The intracranial pressure (ICP) curve with its different peaks has been extensively studied, but the exact physiological mechanisms behind its morphology are still not fully understood. Both intracranial volume change (ΔICV) and transmission of the arterial blood pressure have been proposed to shape the ICP curve. This study tested the hypothesis that the ICP curve correlates to intracranial volume changes.
Methods: Cine phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed in neuro-intensive care patients with simultaneous ICP monitoring. The MRI was set to examine cerebral arterial inflow and venous cerebral outflow as well as flow of cerebrospinal fluid over the foramen magnum. The difference in total flow into and out from the cranial cavity (Flow) over time provides the ΔICV. The ICP curve was compared to the Flow and the ΔICV. Correlations were calculated through linear and logarithmic regression. Student's t test was used to test the null hypothesis between paired samples.
Results: Excluding the initial ICP wave, P1, the mean R for the correlation between the ΔICV and the ICP was 0.75 for the exponential expression, which had a higher correlation than the linear (p = 0.005). The first ICP peaks correlated to the initial peaks of Flow with a mean R = 0.88.
Conclusion: The first part, or the P1, of the ICP curve seems to be created by the first rapid net inflow seen in Flow while the rest of the ICP curve seem to correlate to the ΔICV.

Exploration of simultaneous transients between cerebral hemodynamics and the autonomic nervous system using windowed time-lagged cross-correlation matrices: a CENTER-TBI study.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can significantly disrupt autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation, increasing the risk for secondary complications, hemodynamic instability, and adverse outcome. This retrospective study evaluated windowed time-lagged cross-correlation (WTLCC) matrices for describing cerebral hemodynamics-ANS interactions to predict outcome, enabling identifying high-risk patients who may benefit from enhanced monitoring to prevent complications.
Methods: The first experiment aimed to predict short-term outcome using WTLCC-based convolution neural network models on the Wroclaw University Hospital (WUH) database (P = 31 with 1,079 matrices, P = 16 with 573 matrices).

Background And Purpose: The hot cross bun (HCB) sign is a hallmark feature of multiple system atrophy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C), typically observed in advanced stages of the disease; however, it can also present in other conditions such as spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), making the differentiation challenging. The middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) sign may be observed in various medical conditions and in healthy individuals. We hypothesized that the inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP), known to be affected in MSA-C, may exhibit hyperintensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging, potentially aiding in differentiating MSA-C from SCA.

Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is crucial in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological conditions. Elevated ICP or too low intracranial compliance (ICC) can compromise brain perfusion. Simultaneous monitoring of ICP and ICC is needed to optimize patient-specific brain perfusion in pathological conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and serious issue in infants and toddlers, often resulting from falls or traffic incidents; due to ethical constraints, piglet heads are used in place of human children for research purposes.* -
- A detailed finite element (FE) model of a 4-week-old piglet head was created to study its mechanical properties and validate the model through various tests, including quasi-static compression and dynamic impact tests.* -
- The simulation results demonstrated high accuracy, with average errors of 12.9% for contact force and 8.9% for intracranial pressure, indicating that the piglet head model is reliable for predicting the effects of TBI.*
