Usefulness of transcranial Doppler-derived cerebral hemodynamic parameters in the noninvasive assessment of intracranial pressure. Author Wakerley BR1, Kusuma Y, Yeo LL, Liang S, Kumar K, Sharma AK, Sharma VK. Content/Summary Abstract BACKGROUND: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography is a noninvasive bedside tool that can evaluate cerebral blood flow hemodynamics in major intracranial arte...

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is a noninvasive, safe and cost-effective bedside test for evaluating cerebrovascular circulation in real time. It has been rapidly evolving from a simple noninvasive diagnostic tool to an imaging model with a broad spectrum of clinical applications. TCD can show the spectral flow waveforms, blood flow direction, velocities and intensity in the intracerebra...

A 62 year-old man with known coronary artery disease underwent a three-vessel CABG after a positive exercise tolerance test revealed reversible ischemic changes. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and transesophageal monitoring (TEE) were used intraoperatively for monitoring of highintensity transient signals (HITS), representing both gaseous and particulate cerebral emboli. Non-pulsati...

The School of Medicine, TCD (Trinity College Dublin) has developed the undergraduate degree in Medicine in accordance with the Medical Council and the World Federation of Medical Education guidelines. The course is 5 years. At TCD, clinical and theoretical aspects of psychiatry for 4th-year medical students are delivered during a two-month attachment. Four days of the two months are allocated e...

BACKGROUND/AIM The contribution of cerebrovascular dysfunction to the manifestation of dementia and cognitive decline in late life is gaining increased attention. We aimed to systematically review evidence for associations between dementia or aging and cerebrovascular function as measured using transcranial Doppler (TCD) examination. METHODS A total of 1,172 articles were retrieved from Psych...

Fourteen families with choroideremia (TCD) have been examined for linkage to nine genetic markers located on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome. Linkage to three markers (DXYS1, DXS72, DXS3) located in Xq21 was found with a four point lod score of 8.25. No evidence of submicroscopic deletions was observed using DXS233 and DXS232, both thought to lie within about 1 Mb of the TCD gene.

This paper provides a methodology for the estimation of load-bearing capacity additively manufactured (AM) PLA specimens that may be applied to both cracked and notched conditions. The is based on use Failure Assessment Diagrams (FADs), which are, in practice, main fracture-plastic collapse assessment tool provided by structural integrity procedures. When dealing with notch-type defects, requir...

OBJECTIVES To compare stump pressure (SP), transcranial Doppler (TCD), electroencephalography (EEG) and selective shunting during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative PET measurements and peroperative neuromonitoring were performed in ten patients undergoing CEA for symptomatic carotid artery disease. ...

Software inspections have proved to be an effective means to find faults in different software artifacts, and the application of software inspections on requirements specifications is believed to give a high return on investment as problems are caught early. However, despite the existing evidence of positive effects requirements inspections are not a common practice in industry. The reason is b...
