Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is important in managing neurosurgical, neurological, and ophthalmological patients with open-angle glaucoma. Non-invasive two-depth transcranial Doppler (TCD) technique is used in a novel method for ICP snapshot measurement that has been previously investigated prospectively, and the results showed clinically acceptable accuracy and precision. The aim of this study was to investigate possibility of using the ophthalmic artery (OA) as a pressure sensor for continuous ICP monitoring. First, numerical modeling was done to investigate the possibility, and then a pilot clinical study was conducted to compare two-depth TCD-based non-invasive ICP monitoring data with readings from an invasive Codman ICP microsensor from patients with severe traumatic brain injury. The numerical modeling showed that the systematic error of non-invasive ICP monitoring was < 1.0 mmHg after eliminating the intraorbital and blood pressure gradient. In a clinical study, a total of 1928 paired data points were collected, and the extreme data points of measured differences between invasive and non-invasive ICP were - 3.94 and 4.68 mmHg (95% CI - 2.55 to 2.72). The total mean and SD were 0.086 ± 1.34 mmHg, and the correlation coefficient was 0.94. The results show that the OA can be used as a linear natural pressure sensor and that it could potentially be possible to monitor the ICP for up to 1 h without recalibration.

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: Myelomeningocele and sagittal craniosynostosis are 2 neurosurgical pathologies with complications such as increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and hydrocephalus. While the 2 defects commonly occur independently, their simultaneous occurrence is exceptionally rare.
Observations: The authors report the case of a newborn male diagnosed with a simultaneous myelomeningocele and sagittal craniosynostosis.

The crustacean cuticle is a composite material acting as a shell, but also linked with other physiological functions as respiration, locomotion or reproduction. The present study aimed to characterize for the first time the cuticle properties of the marine prawn Palaemon serratus using thermal (TGA) and chemical (FTIR, ICP-AES) techniques. The use of native lyophilized cutiles also enabled to estimate the complexity of the cuticle structure of P.

A wide range of acute brain injuries, including both traumatic and non-traumatic causes, can result in elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), which in turn can cause further secondary injury to the brain, initiating a vicious cascade of propagating injury. Elevated ICP is therefore a neurological injury that requires intensive monitoring and time-sensitive interventions. Patients at high risk for developing elevated ICP undergo placement of invasive ICP monitors including external ventricular drains, intraparenchymal ICP monitors, and lumbar drains.

Pollution monitoring in surface water using field observational procedure is a challenging matter as it is time consuming, and needs a lot of efforts. This study addresses the challenge of efficiently monitoring and predicting water pollution using a GIS-based artificial neural network (ANN) to detect heavy metal (HM) pollution in surface water and effect of wastewater required discharge on the Euphrates River in Al-Diwaniyah City, Iraq. The study established using 40 water sampling stations and incorporates Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) to assess HM levels.
