Analysis of Changes in the Icp Signal Prior to Critical Increases
نویسنده
چکیده
Sudden increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) are extremely serious and can be life-threatening. Up to the present moment, effective methods have been studied to return the ICP to normal levels after a rapid increase has occurred. This study analyzes different characteristics of the ICP signal just prior to the occurrence of an increase, and compares it with the characteristics of the signal during a regular episode. The results show that there are statistically significant changes in the ICP signal prior to an ICP increase. This results may be further used to try to predict increases in ICP, so they can be more rapidly and effectively treated. Keywords—Intracranial pressure, percussion wave.

Sensitivity analysis of time lapse gravity for monitoring fluid saturation changes in a giant multi-phase gas reservoir located in south of Iran
The time lapse gravity method is a widely used technique to monitor the subsurface density changes in time and space. In hydrocarbon reservoirs, the density variations are due to different factors, such as: substitution of fluids with high density contrast, water influx, gas injection, and the variation in reservoir geomechanical behavior. Considering the monitoring of saturation changes in the...

Analysis of Intracranial Pressure signal (ICP) to predict the abrupt increases is extremely important, because this sudden elevation can be life threatening and sign of secondary brain injury. Segments with three minute duration were then constructed from the ICP signal: One from the onset of amplitude elevation as part#0, with sets 5, 15, 25 minutes prior to the elevation as respectively, part...
متن کاملBrain complexity increases during the manic episode of bipolar mood disorder type I
Fractal dimension of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal has been argued to reflect the complexity of the underlying brain processes. To this date, conventional studies of EEG in mood disorders have not been able to distinguish between patients and normal individuals. Here we show that, compared to normal subjects, EEG fractal dimension is significantly augmented in the manic episode of bi...

The problems of sequential change-point have several important applications in quality control, signal processing, and failure detection in industry and finance and signal detection. We discuss a Bayesian approach in the context of statistical process control: at an unknown time τ, the process behavior changes and the distribution of the data changes from p0 to p1. Two cases are consi...
