Integrated Eye Tracking and Neural Monitoring for TBI: Optimization
Traumatic Brain InjuryTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most frequent injuries affecting service members. Unfortunately, current neurocognitive assessment tools are unable to reliably detect mild TBI more than a few days post- injury. Therefore, development of advanced systems for assessment and diagnosis of TBI are a top priority within Department of Defense. This project aims to evaluate a combined electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking system capable of assessing compromised cognitive function stemming from TBI, with the goal of enhancing operational readiness and aiding in diagnosis, improving health care and rehabilitation for affected military personnel.
REsting and Stimulus-based Paradigms to Detect Organized NetworkS and Predict Emergence of Consciousness...
Consciousness DisorderComa2 moreThe aim of this study is to assess the utility of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalographic (EEG) technologies for predicting functional outcomes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Olfactory Deficits in Neurologic Disease
Alzheimer DiseaseTraumatic Brain Injury4 moreThe goal of this study is to examine olfactory function in preclinical subjects or individuals with neurological diseases such as Probable Alzheimer's Disease (PRAD), Frontotemporal Dementias (FTD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitoring Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain InjuryThe aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate complications rates, indications, and the utility of follow-up imaging studies of ICP measurement in severe TBI patients.
Coagulopathy on the First Postoperative Day Predicts the Long-term Survival of Traumatic Brain Injury...
Traumatic Brain InjuryCoagulation DisorderThe purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between coagulopathy during the perioperative period (before the operation and on the first day after the operation) and the long-term survival of traumatic brain injury patients undergoing surgery, as well as to explore the predisposing risk factors that may cause perioperative coagulopathy.
Continuous Quantified EEG in NeuroIntensive Care
ComaTraumatic Brain Injury2 moreTo evaluate the ability of NICU staff to interpret, before and after a training period, symmetry, sedation level, seizures activities and artefact on continuous cEEG/qEEG tracings.
Validation of Brain Function Assessment Algorithm for mTBI/Concussion in College Athletes
Brain InjuriesTraumatic8 moreThis study is Part 1 of data collection from 18-25 years old subject population for validation of previously derived algorithms. This data will be combined with that collected under NCT03671083 (Part 2 with subject age range 13-25 years) for the final analyses of validation of the algorithms.
Optimizing Drug Doses in Critically Ill
Traumatic Brain InjuryKidney FunctionalThe primary objectives of this study are to examine whether augmented renal clearance (ARC) compromises renally eliminated drug therapeutic serum concentrations in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to estimate the optimal dose needed to achieve therapeutic serum concentrations of the probe medication levetiracetam in patients with TBI.
Imaging of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain InjuryThis project aims to study the prognostic ability of various MRI imaging markers in the evaluation of TBI patients. Cognitive, social, and occupational recovery will be measured at each time point, and compared to MRI findings. Healthy volunteers will serve as a comparison to the TBI patients. It is hypothesized that novel MRI markers of metabolism, hemodynamics, functional connectivity, and tissue microstructure will be related to the clinical status of the patient, as well as their social and occupational outcomes.
Dynamic and Static Autoregulation After Brain Injury
Acute Brain InjuriesTBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)1 moreThe aim of the study assesses static and dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation daily over one week in patients with traumatic brain injury or intracranial hemorrhage to quantify the temporal profile of the autoregulatory status.
