Although the shapes of velocity waveforms obtained with transcranial Doppler examination can indicate such abnormalities as increased intracranial pressure and proximal arterial compromise, the significance of unusual waveform morphologies is often obscure. In this report, we describe four cases in which an unusual waveform morphology was obtained from vessels distorted and narrowed by intracranial masses. The appearance of this unusual morphology as an isolated signal within a transcranial Doppler examination should, therefore, suggest a structural deformation of the insonated vessel to those who interpret transcranial Doppler studies.

Analysis of blood flow velocity variability in middle cerebral artery stenosis using transcranial color-coded sonography.
J Clin Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, PR China.
Background: High variability of intracranial arterial blood flow velocities by Transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) has been found in clinical practice. This study aimed to improve diagnostic accuracy by analyzing influencing factors of middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity detected by TCCS.
Methods: In total, 328 MCA vessels were classified as normal (27.

Background: Age-related changes in the systemic and cerebral vasculature adversely affect brain health and may contribute to neurodegeneration. However, the relationship between markers of systemic (arterial stiffness) and cerebral (flow pulsatility) vascular aging with neurodegeneration remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of arterial stiffness and flow pulsatiility with blood biomarkers of neurodegeneration.

Department of Neurology, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Univeisity, Qingdao, 266000, Shandong, China. Electronic address:
Objective: This study investigates cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) changes in cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with right-to-left shunts (RLS) and evaluates the relationship between CVR and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs).
Methods: The breath-holding index (BHI), representing CVR, was measured from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using the breath-holding method. WMHs were defined as clearly hyperintense areas on 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), assessed separately as periventricular hyperintensities (PVH) and deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH).
[Clinical efficacy of 's subcutaneous needling based on "multi-joint muscle spiral balance chain" theory for cervical vertigo and its effect on blood flow velocity of vertebral artery].

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of 's subcutaneous needling based on "multi-joint muscle spiral balance chain" theory for cervical vertigo (CV) and its effect on blood flow velocity of vertebral artery.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with CV were randomized into a Fu's subcutaneous needling group and a medication group, 30 cases in each one. In the Fu's subcutaneous needling group, 's subcutaneous needling was delivered at Dazhui (GV14), the flexible tube was retained for 5 min after sweeping manipulation, and the treatment was given once every other day, 3 times a week for 3 weeks.
Association between cerebral oxygenation and usual parameters of cerebral perfusion in critically ill patients with acute brain injury.

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.
