Introduction: Head-of-bed (HOB) elevation is the standard of care for patients with intracranial pressure monitoring at risk for intracranial hypertension. Measurement of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) based on HOB elevation and arterial transducer position has not been adequately studied.
Methods: This is a planned secondary analysis of prospectively collected data in which paired, serial arterial blood pressure (ABP), intracranial pressure, and CPP measures were obtained once per day for 3 days, with measures leveled at the tragus (Tg) and the phlebostatic axis (PA). The HOB position was recorded for all paired readings.
Results: From 136 subjects, ABP and CPP values were lower when the transducer was leveled at the Tg, compared with the PA (P < .001); these differences persisted regardless of HOB position.
Conclusion: The difference in CPP when ABP is referenced at the Tg versus PA is not consistently attributed to HOB elevation.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in a headache clinic to investigate the link between their headache characteristics and psychological health, particularly anxiety and depression.
- The participants averaged over 19 headache days per month and many experienced severe headache-related disability, with significant numbers reporting high levels of anxiety and depression based on validated screening tools.
- Key findings indicated that higher levels of anxiety and depression were associated with increased headache frequency, but suicidal thoughts did not correlate with disability caused by headaches.
Comparative Study of T-Cell Repertoires after COVID-19 Immunization with Homologous or Heterologous Vaccine Booster.

Sequencing of the T-cell repertoire is an innovative method to assess the cellular responses after immunization. The purpose of this study was to compare T-cell repertoires after COVID-19 immunization with homologous (HOB) and heterologous (HEB) boosting. The study included 20 participants with a median age of 27.

Objectives: Nursing postoperative neurosurgical patients with head of bed (HOB) elevation beyond 30° might be desired at times to prevent pulmonary complications. Due to the paucity of studies determining the effect of HOB beyond 30° on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2), this study was designed.
Methods: A total of 40 patients following elective neurosurgery for supratentorial tumors were studied in the neurosurgical intensive care unit three hours following admission.
Examining the effects of soil entrainment during nuclear cloud rise on fallout predictions using a multiscale atmospheric modeling framework.

Current operational models for nuclear cloud rise over land were developed and validated using observations from shallow-buried or surface detonations, where lofted soil quickly mixed with fission products from the detonation. These models poorly predict fallout from elevated detonations near the fallout-free height of burst (FFHOB), where interactions with the ground are limited and the mixing of fission products and lofted soil is incomplete. Fallout-free is a misnomer at this HOB, as fallout was observed in these cases, but was below the levels of concern, especially off-grounds of the nuclear test site.

Introduction: One of the major goals of neurointensive care is to prevent secondary injuries following aSAH. Bed rest and patient immobilization are practiced in order to decrease the risk of DCI.
Research Question: To explore the current practices in place concerning the management of patients with aSAH, specifically, protocols and habits regarding restrictions of mobilization and HOB positioning.
