Background And Purpose: The wide application of embolization in the treatment of aneurysms has created the need for an intraprocedural means to anticipate a poor outcome by monitoring hemodynamic changes in the brain.
Methods: Transcranial Doppler sonography was used to monitor flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 23 patients undergoing embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) of either incidental or symptomatic intracranial aneurysms. Sonographic values were recorded from the ipsilateral MCA at the beginning, middle, and end of the interventional procedure and 24 hours afterward.
Results: No complications occurred in 15 patients. In these cases, sonography showed an average decrease in MCA flow velocity of 2.7% after GDC application, returning to baseline at the end of treatment and then increasing by about 17% 24 hours later. In four patients with vasospasm on posttreatment angiograms, MCA flow velocity increased to values higher than 120 cm/s after GDC application, returning to baseline after 24 hours. In four patients with ischemic complications (two transient ischemic attacks, one stroke, one vascular death), MCA flow velocity decreased more than 30% and did not return to preoperative values within 24 hours.
Conclusion: The application of transcranial Doppler sonographic monitoring during endovascular treatment may help to identify patients at risk for posttreatment cerebral ischemia.

Background: Benign and malignant breast tumors differ in their microvasculature morphology and distribution. Histologic biomarkers of malignant breast tumors are also correlated with the microvasculature. There is a lack of imaging technology for evaluating the microvasculature.

Introduction: Sodium Glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) possess pleiotropic effects, such as antioxidant, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular remodeling activities. Considering the lack of literature, a network meta-analysis was conducted to explore the impact of SGLT2is on endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in the diabetic population.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of SGLT2is on outcomes, such as Flow-mediated Vasodilation (FMV), Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), and Augmentation Index (AIx).

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.

Pipe bends are recognized as critical areas susceptible to wall thinning, a phenomenon instigated by abrupt changes in the fluid flow direction and velocity. Conventional monitoring techniques for bends typically depend on localized ultrasonic measurements of thickness. While these methods are effective, they can be time-consuming compared to the use of permanently installed transducers, a strategy employed in guided wave tomography (GWT).

The effect of acetazolamide on regional brain tissue oxygenation in patients with acute brain injury (ABI) is unknown. We studied adult patients with ABI who received acetazolamide as per the treating physician's decision and had ICP and brain oxygen pressure (PbtO) monitoring. Baseline measurements of ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and PbtO were taken before administering acetazolamide; subsequent measurements were recorded every 5 min for a total of 20 min.
