A pilot study for continuous non-invasive intracranial pressure screening.

Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a common and critical condition in neurocritical care, often requiring immediate intervention. Current methods for continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring are invasive and costly, limiting their use in resource-limited settings. This study investigates the potential of the electroencephalography (EEG) as a non-invasive alternative for ICP monitoring.

Using EEG total energy as a noninvasively tracking of intracranial (and cerebral perfussion) pressure in an animal model: A pilot study.

Purpose: This study aims to describe the total EEG energy during episodes of intracranial hypertension (IH) and evaluate its potential as a classification feature for IH.

New Methods: We computed the sample correlation coefficient between intracranial pressure (ICP) and the total EEG energy. Additionally, a generalized additive model was employed to assess the relationship between arterial blood pressure (ABP), total EEG energy, and the odds of IH.

[Advanced maternal age as a risk factor for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes].

Introduction: A progressive increase in the age of women at first pregnancy is observed, a situation that has been associated with a greater risk of adverse maternal and perinatal effects.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and the maternal and perinatal outcomes of nulliparas of 40 years and older and compare them with those of nulliparas under 40.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of a database of pregnancy population who had attended their deliveries in a private university hospital.

[Mapping strategy for health and wellbeing community assets in the city of Buenos Aires].

Introduction: implementing an asset model in large urban territories is a great challenge. The objective was to develop and evaluate community asset (CA) mapping strategies in a large city.

Methods: mixed technique, in phases.

Acquired factor XIII deficiency in patients under therapeutic plasma exchange: A poorly explored etiology.

Introduction: Factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency may cause bleeding under certain clinical circumstances. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may lead to a transient deficiency.

Objectives: To describe the clinical evolution of patients with acquired FXIII deficiency secondary to TPE.
