Article Abstract
Background: The intracranial pressure (ICP) curve with its different peaks has been extensively studied, but the exact physiological mechanisms behind its morphology are still not fully understood. Both intracranial volume change (ΔICV) and transmission of the arterial blood pressure have been proposed to shape the ICP curve. This study tested the hypothesis that the ICP curve correlates to intracranial volume changes.
Methods: Cine phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed in neuro-intensive care patients with simultaneous ICP monitoring. The MRI was set to examine cerebral arterial inflow and venous cerebral outflow as well as flow of cerebrospinal fluid over the foramen magnum. The difference in total flow into and out from the cranial cavity (Flow) over time provides the ΔICV. The ICP curve was compared to the Flow and the ΔICV. Correlations were calculated through linear and logarithmic regression. Student's t test was used to test the null hypothesis between paired samples.
Results: Excluding the initial ICP wave, P1, the mean R for the correlation between the ΔICV and the ICP was 0.75 for the exponential expression, which had a higher correlation than the linear (p = 0.005). The first ICP peaks correlated to the initial peaks of Flow with a mean R = 0.88.
Conclusion: The first part, or the P1, of the ICP curve seems to be created by the first rapid net inflow seen in Flow while the rest of the ICP curve seem to correlate to the ΔICV.

Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) waveform analysis provides critical insights into brain compliance and can aid in the early detection of neurological deterioration. Deep learning (DL) has recently emerged as an effective approach for analyzing complex medical signals and imaging data. The aim of the present research was to develop a DL-based model for detecting ICP waveforms indicative of poor brain compliance.

Cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) is a protective mechanism against brain injury. We present an ultrasound-based volumetric blood flow indices to monitor CA. Swine were instrumented under general anesthesia to monitor mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), intracranial pressure (ICP), and blood flow in the internal carotid artery (ICA) and femoral artery (FA) and flow velocity and volumetric flow in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using transcranial Doppler.

Standard in the rinse (SIR) is a novel calibration method where a calibration curve is prepared by introducing a sample into an instrument, then "rinsing" the instrument with a standard solution containing all analytes. The method completely bypasses the need to prepare a calibration curve of individual standard solutions of known concentration: samples are loaded into an autosampler, and the measurement is performed while the sample is flushed from the system by the spiked rinse. Two "timestamp" internal standards are employed (one in the sample and the second in the rinse) to allow determination of the relative sample to standard ratio being measured by the instrument at a given time.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the utility of shear wave elastography (SWE) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for assessing anterior compartment intracompartmental pressure (ICP) in patients with tibial plateau fractures, facilitating early detection of high compartment pressure (HCP) to mitigate acute compartment syndrome (ACS) risks.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from January 2024 to March 2025 at a tertiary hospital in China, 170 patients aged 18-65 years with tibial plateau fractures diagnosed within 48 h were enrolled. Demographic data, injury mechanisms, Schatzker classification, and laboratory parameters were collected.
