Merits and Pitfalls of Multimodality Brain Monitoring

Merits and pitfalls of multimodality brain monitoring.

In 1841 Magendi pioneered to measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure using the ‘‘sphygmometer,’’ an instrument originally designed for assessment of blood pressure. From then on, it took 110 years before the first intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring data has been published in 1951, first ever introducing the important key-word of ‘‘monitoring’’ in the context of the human brain [1]. From this m...

Merits and Pitfalls of Currently Used Diagnostic Tools in Mycetoma

Treatment of mycetoma depends on the causative organism and since many organisms, both actinomycetes (actinomycetoma) and fungi (eumycetoma), are capable of producing mycetoma, an accurate diagnosis is crucial. Currently, multiple diagnostic tools are used to determine the extent of infections and to identify the causative agents of mycetoma. These include various imaging, cytological, histopat...
