Article Abstract
This study evaluated the association between systemic arterial blood pressure and cerebral perfusion in 740 participants of the UK's largest tri-ethnic study with measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF) performed using arterial spin labelling MRI. A significant negative correlation between blood pressure, age and CBF was observed across the patient cohort. The lowest CBF values were recorded in the group of patients with hypertension that were prescribed with anti-hypertensive drugs, but uncontrolled on medication. These findings confirm that hypertension is associated with reduced cerebral perfusion and highlight the importance of blood pressure control for the benefit of maintaining brain blood flow.

Efficacy of Tenecteplase in Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Within 24 Hours of Symptom Onset: The ETERNAL-LVO Randomized Controlled Trial.
Stroke
September 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia. (V.Y., B.C.V.C., L.C., L.O., M.W.P.).
Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.
Norepinephrine or Phenylephrine to Prevent Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension During Cesarean Section: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Study of Fetal Cerebral Perfusion.
Drug Des Devel Ther
September 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension can cause detrimental effects on both the mother and the fetus, and it remains a significant concern in obstetric anesthesia. The use of vasopressors is considered the most reliable and effective approach. Previous studies have shown that norepinephrine appears to be superior to phenylephrine in maintaining maternal heart rate and cardiac output.

UHC Sestre Milosrdnice, Department of Psychiatry, Zagreb, Croatia; Catholic University of Croatia, School of Medicine, Zagreb, Croatia.
Objective: Thalamic abnormalities have been associated with clinical and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, yet their role in the early stages of the disorder remain unclear. This study aimed to examine and compare thalamic perfusion differences between first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and early-course schizophrenia (ECS), along with their associations with cognitive performance and symptom severity.
Methods: This study included 100 unmedicated schizophrenia patients aged 19-30: 50 FES and 50 ECS (<5 years, ≥2 episodes).
Outcomes associated with remote, centralized ex vivo lung perfusion (rc-EVLP) for donor lungs in a real-world setting.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla.
Objective: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has resulted in a significant increase in the use of extended-criteria donor lungs without negatively impacting survival outcomes. However, in-house EVLP is resource-intensive, thereby limiting accessibility. Remote, centralized EVLP (rc-EVLP) has been used with acceptable outcomes in a highly protocolized feasibility study, although has not been assessed in a clinical setting.

Neurocrit Care

Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Background: Many traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment protocols, including the Lund concept, advocate the highest point of the subarachnoid space (typically the vertex) as the zero-reference point for intracranial pressure (ICP) and the level of the right atrium as the zero-reference point for mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). In 2017, at the Department of Neurosurgery in Lund, Sweden, the zero-reference points for ICP and MAP were both changed to the external auditory meatus (EAM), thus altering the calculated cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) levels. We hypothesized that the ICP and MAP levels obtained from the different zero-reference points resulted in altered neurocritical care management and/or patient outcome.
