Blood Gas and Bleeding Disorders in Healthy Volunteers Exposed to Nitroglycerin and Nitrogen Compounds...
Disorder of Blood GasBleeding DisorderThe aim of the study was to investigate the possible relationship about blood gas and bleeding disorders in healthy volunteers of blasters and no blasters groups of the Italian National Mountain and Cave Rescue who handled nitrogen compounds and nitroglycerine and then they were exposed to combustion products from an accidental uncontrolled detonation of micro-charges during a cave unblocking procedure.
No Cases of Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage (d-ICH) Among Patients With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury...
Traumatic Intracranial HemorrhageTraumatic Brain InjuryAbstract Purpose Patients with anticoagulation therapy has a higher risk of developing traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (tICH). Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage (d-ICH) is a rarer clinical manifestation; however, the incidence varies from 0-9,6 % in other studies. Some studies have also questioned the clinical relevance of d-ICH, since the mortality and the need of neurosurgical intervention is reported to be very low. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of d-ICH at Sundsvall Regional Hospital. Methods A retrospective observational study of patients with mTBI and oral anticoagulation therapy. Data from medical records and radiology registry in Sundsvall hospital for 29 months during 2018-2020 in Sundsvall identified 249 patients with an initial negative CT scan who performed a follow-up CT scan. Outcome measure was incidence of d-ICH.
Early Multimodal Neuromonitoring For Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH)
Intracerebral HemorrhageCritically Ill3 moreThe investigators intend to assess the predictive value of early (first 48 hours) multimodal neuromonitoring parameters concerning late survival in critically ill intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients.
Craniopharyngioma With Tumoral Hemorrhage
CraniopharyngiomaApoplexyClinical data of 185 consecutive patients receiving resective operation with a pathological diagnosis of craniopharyngioma in our hospital between January 2013 and February 2021 were collected. Among these patients, 18 of them were recognized as craniopharyngioma with tumoral hemorrhage during the operation.
Brain Skull Deformation as a Non-invasive Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Measure
Subarachnoid HemorrhageStroke4 moreBackground: Although placement of an intra-cerebral catheter remains the gold standard method for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), there are several limitations to the method. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare the correlation and the agreement of the wave morphology between the ICP (standard ICP monitoring) and a new nICP monitor in patients admitted with stroke. Our secondary objective was to estimate the accuracy of four non-invasive methods to assess intracranial hypertension. Methods: We prospectively collected data of adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or ischemic stroke (IS) in whom invasive ICP monitoring placed. Measures had been simultaneously collected from the following non-invasive indices: optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), pulsatility index (PI) using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a 5-point visual scale designed for Computed Tomography (CT) and two parameters (time-to-peak [TTP] and P2/P1 ratio) of a non-invasive ICP wave morphology monitor (Brain4care[B4c]). Intracranial hypertension was defined as an invasively measured ICP > 20 mmHg for at least five minutes.

Wideband Tympanometry for Monitoring Intracranial Pressure in Adult Patients in Intensive Care,...
Intracranial PressureIntracranial pressure is usually measured by invasive methods requiring an intracranial sensor. There is no non-invasive monitoring method recognized as a gold standard. Tympanometry would make it feasible to evaluate intracranial pressure through sensitive and specific changes in the energy absorbance of the middle ear. It could represent a non-invasive method of monitoring intracranial pressure. This is a prospective monocentric longitudinal study. All adult patients in intensive care for head trauma, intracranial hypertension, or after cranial surgery and requiring invasive monitoring of ICP will be included after their non-opposition has been collected. In a group of 10 controls, multifrequency tympanometry will be performed in the standing position, in the 0° supine position and in the Tredelenburg position at -17°.
Proper Timing of Control of Hypertension and Outcome in Acute Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage....
Intra Cerebral HemorrhageHypertensionThe ideal management of blood pressure in BP after acute intracerebral haemorrhage is still debated and whether a higher intensive reduction of blood pressure after acute intracerebral haemorrhage may be better or not is still controversial. Conflicting results from different randomized trials in regards to the clinical guidelines for management of hypertension in people with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). These results indicate that the management of BP and the prognosis after acute spontaneous ICH are very complicated. Therefore, analysis based on actual blood pressure (BP) accomplished may be a more efficient method to assess the impact of BP management on outcome of ICH. In our research, blood pressure (BP) management and prognosis were studied in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage to decide the perfect time control BP to improve outcome.

Fertility After Intrauterine Tamponing Balloon: Where Are we
Hemorrhage PostpartumFertility DisordersToday, few data are available on the patient's fertility following intrauterine tamponade balloon (BTIU) used for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery (AVB). Several studies have concluded that there are no fertility disorders after conservative surgical treatment or embolization. BTIU is an essential treatment in the management of PPH. The aim was to evaluate post-BTIU fertility and the appearance of gynecological symptoms. This is a bicentric retrospective study (Valenciennes, Lille, France), between 2012 and 2017. The data will be collected by telephone interview on fertility and various gynecological functional symptoms.
