Purpose We tested the hypotheses that retinal venule diameter (Dv) is associated with baseline intracranial pressure (ICP) level and that Dv is reduced shortly after ICP lowering. Methods Dv and arteriole diameter (Da) were extracted from scanning laser ophthalmoscopic images in 40 eyes of 20 adult human subjects (10 with and 10 without papilledema) immediately before and after measurement of...

when intracranial pressure (icp) was uncontrollable among patients with severe traumatic brain injuries (stbi) and especially if it raises above 40 mmhg 100% morality was reported. eighty four percent of head injured patients would die if their initial icp is greater than 25 mm hg. decreasing icp through decompressive craniectomy (dc) theoretically may revert increased icp to normal and decreas...

In a patient with no prior history of seizures we were able to record static (mean) intracranial pressure (ICP) and pulsatile ICP (mean ICP wave amplitude) continuously during a first-time generalized epileptic seizure. The patient experienced episodic headache five months after a subarachnoid haemorrhage. In order to rule out low-pressure hydrocephalus she was admitted for a 24-hour intracrani...

OBJECTIVES To explore the outcome of management of possible shunt related symptoms using intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, and to identify potential methodological limitations with the current strategies of ICP assessment. METHODS The distribution of persistent symptoms related to extracranial shunt treatment was compared before and after management of shunt failure in 69 consecutive hy...

This study identifies a novel relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) stroke volume through the cerebral aqueduct and the characteristic peaks of the intracranial pulse (ICP) waveform. ICP waveform analysis has become much more advanced in recent years; however, clinical practice remains restricted to mean ICP, mainly due to the lack of physiological understanding of the ICP waveform. Th...

Organophosphorus pesticides are the most widely used pesticides in modern agricultural systems to ensure good harvests. Isocarbophos (ICP), with a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory effect is widely utilized to control a variety of leaf-eating and soil insects. However, the characteristics of the bioactivation and detoxification of ICP in humans remain unclear. In this study, the oxidative ...
