Interhemispheric Anterior Delta Desynchronization in Children Who Present to the Emergency Department With Acute Concussion: A Proof of Concept Study
Approximately 150,000 children present each year to emergency departments (EDs) in the US with concussion and many more are treated by primary care physician, or outpatient specialists. Concussion is defined as a traumatically induced transient disturbance of brain function and involves a complex pathophysiological process. There is a variety of …
Chromatic Multifocal Pupillometer for Detection and Follow-up of Acute Head Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common injury in combat, terrorist attacks and sports such as football and hockey. Unnecessary delays in the diagnosis and treatment of brain damage in patients who can benefit from evacuation procedures can lead to worse brain injury, worse outcome and, sometimes, unnecessary death. However, …
Effect of the Stellate Ganglion Block on the Retinal Microcirculation
Surges in the sympathetic nervous system occur at the ictus of a variety of neurological critical illnesses including intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. It is hypothesized that these exaggerated increases in sympathetic nervous activity produce maladaptations that promote secondary brain injury. One of these possible mechanisms include diffuse vasospasm that …
Endothelial Dysfunction and Non-cardiac Surgery
Endothelial dysfunction is a cardiovascular disease hallmark. After non-cardiac surgery, cardiovascular events correlate with surgical outcomes. Understanding the role of endothelial function in these events is crucial. This research aims to study endothelial function and its association with cardiovascular events.
Neurocognitive Outcomes for ICU Patients With Acute Kidney Injury
Introduction. Initiation of acute kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is common in critically ill adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. KRT has been linked to poor neurocognitive outcomes, leading to a reduced quality of life, as well as increased utilization of …
