   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Neurointensive care; Monitoring; Secondary insults; Intracranial pressure; Cerebral perfusion pressure; Pressure reactivity; Temperature; Neural network; Outcome; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability. Intracranial secondary insults (e.g. intracranial haematoma, brain oedema) and systemic secondary insults (e. READ MORE

4. 7. Intrinsic and extrinsic protection of the brain

   Author : Peter Kimme; Olof Grände; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The brain is a complex organ and critically dependent on its oxygen metabolism and blood supply. The purpose of the present study was twofold: firstly to design, evaluate, and adopt a physiologically stable experimental model for repeated measurements of cerebral cortical microvascular perfusion by a new laser Doppler technique (experimental part (I) - intrinsic model).

5. 8. Cerebral oedema after reperfusion therapy in patients with ischaemic stroke : predictors, outcomes and treatment

   Author : Magnus Thorén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Reperfusion therapy by intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are established treatments in ischaemic stroke. Cerebral oedema (COED), caused by dysfunction the blood brain barrier (BBB), is common early after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), can aggravate the symptoms and worsen the prognosis. READ MORE

   Abstract : Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) are severe cerebral emergencies. They are common reasons for extensive morbidity and mortality in young people and adults in the western world. READ MORE

7. 10. Prediction of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest and targeted temperature management

   Author : Marion Moseby-Knappe; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurological prognostication; brain injury; cardiac arrest; biomarkers; outcome; CT; guideline;

   Abstract : Background: Prediction of neurological outcome in unconscious patients after cardiac arrest (CA) forms the basis for decisions on further level-of-care based on results from clinical neurological examinations, neuroimaging (CT or MRI), neurophysiology (EEG or SSEP) and blood biomarkers of brain injury. Methods must be highly specific to avoid misclassifying patients with possibilities of a good outcome. READ MORE
