Clinical characteristics of acute brain swelling in patients with successfully resuscitated from non-traumatic out of hospital cardiac arrest
… as the development of emergency medical service. Brain swelling is often found in the patients with return of spontaneous circulation. This study is going to identify risk factor for brain swelling and its frequency, analyze the effect of brain swelling on neurological outcome, and compare with …

Intracranial hypertension in Kenyan children with cerebral malaria
… in whom it was measured after admission. Brain stem signs, particularly an abnormal respiratory pattern, absent pupillary responses and a lack of spontaneous eye movement were associated with a death. In 33 children who died with cerebral malaria, at least 18-42% had clinical features of …

Elucidating the Role of the Essential Kinase TgGSK in the Human Parasite Toxoplasma Gondii
… can lead to toxoplasmosis, which can include brain lesions and lead to death. Similarly, toxoplasmosis can result in birth defects, brain swelling, and blindness of a developing fetus in the case of a congenital infection. With minimal treatments for toxoplasmosis available, it is crucial to …

Malarial retinopathy and neurovascular injury in paediatric cerebral malaria
Background Diseases of the brain are difficult to study because this organ is relatively inaccessible. Only one part of the central nervous system is available to direct, non-invasive observation – the retina. The concept of the retina as a window to the brain has created much interest in the …

Caveolins and NJKs Influence Brain Endothelial Permeability after Juvenile TBI
<p>Disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a key secondary event that exacerbates brain damage following traumatic brain injury (TBI). BBB disruption is particularly damaging to the developing brain – which is highly vulnerable to various stress stimuli, resulting in increased brain swelling, …

Hypoxia and vascular nitric oxide bioavailability: Hypoximplications for the pathophysiology of high-altitude illness
… of sub-clinical pulmonary oedema within and mild brain swelling. Symptoms and reductions in NO bioavailability will be more pronounced in those who develop AMS since they are typically more hypoxaemic. Alternatively, a hypoxia mediated increase in NO, during vasodilatation, specifically across the …

Role of non-enhanced CT characteristics for differentiating reversible and irreversible brain tissue injury and estimating the tissue fate in acute ischaemic stroke
… NECT also provides features on the area of the brain injured by ischaemic stroke. However, there remains uncertainty over what these features actually mean, and if we should use them to decide which patients might benefit, or possibly be harmed, by treatment. In addition, it might be possible to …

The Measurement and Interpretation of Intracranial Pressure
… pressure (ICP) is the most commonly monitored brain parameter in neurocritical care. Its rise, which may be benign, acute or chronic, is a common yet serious problem. ICP can rise because of a number of critical medical conditions such as hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, intracranial mass …

MAPK and pro-inflammatory mediators in the walls of brain blood vessels following cerebral ischemia
… with disruption of blood flow to a part of the brain with rapid depletion of cellular energy and oxygen, resulting in ionic disturbances and eventually neuronal cell death [3]. The pathologic process that develops after stroke is divided into acute (within hours), sub-acute (hours to days), and …
