Quantitative Pupillometry in Brain Injury Children : Variation After Osmotherapy
Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a common and serious complication in children admitted to pediatric intensive care units. It is primarily caused by traumatic brain injury but can also result from brain malformations, brain tumors, or neuro-meningeal infections. Rapid identification of ICH in acute settings is crucial to ensure prompt management …
Hemodynamic ABI Monitor
The goal of this observational study is to explore the relationship of heart function with the course and outcomes after traumatic brain injuries and nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The goal is to explore association between routinely collected hemodynamic and brain monitoring data. Participants already taking intervention A as part of their …
Intracranial PrEssure Time dOse (ImPETO)
The new Integra CereLink ICP monitor integrate the possibility of recording and displaying continuously the AUC (Pressure Time Dose, PTD) and other ICP derived variables and provide the possibility of evaluating the utility of this information at the bedside. It offers the opportunity to test in a standardized way the …
Perinatal Brain Injury: Potential of Innovative NIRS to Optimize Hypothermia
The purpose of this study is to improve the ability of the investigators to monitor brain health in newborn babies at risk of brain injuries. The researchers will be using an investigational system of devices to non-invasively (that, is, without penetrating the skin), measure the amount of oxygen going to …
fMRI Study of Early Brain Injury in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease involving multiple organs and systems. The central nervous system is one of the most commonly involved parts, and the involvement of the nervous system is called neuropsychiatric lupus, which is one of the most common complications of SLE and the main …
Cerebral Autoregulation, Brain Perfusion, and Neurocognitive Outcomes After Traumatic Brain Injury
Cognitive impairment after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) not only significantly affects the quality of life in individuals with msTBI, but also increases the possibility of late-life dementia. The goal of this study is to determine whether acute (< 1 week) cerebrovascular injury and its recovery within the …
Cognitive and Vascular Functioning Following TBI
This observational study will examine the association of chronic traumatic cerebrovascular injury and cardiovascular risk factors with TBI-related cognitive impairment and vascular dementia. Cerebrovascular, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative blood biomarkers as well as clinical and neuroimaging data
Blood Extracellular Vesicles as Predictive Recovery Biomarker After Stroke and Brain Injury
The rehabilitation outcome and recovery, in people after stroke or with vascular severe brain injury(vSBI), are difficult to predict. Moreover, the clinical management of patients during hospitalization is problematic due to complex clinical conditions and complications, e.g. healthcare-associated infections(HAIs). Today we still lack early objective biomarkers that could predict the …
Effect of Multimodal Monitoring Cluster Management on Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious global health problem, with about 27 million new cases each year. Severe head trauma can lead to intracranial hypertension and a range of complications such as cerebral edema and hypoxia of brain tissue. Intracranial pressure monitoring is key to modern TBI treatment, but …
Validating a Blood Test for the Detection of Traumatic Brain Injury in Children
The primary objective of this study is to establish if Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) are predictive of computed tomography (CT) findings in pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The participant population is pediatric patients, ages 0 to less than 18 years old with a …
