INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE

This study tested whether a weight-loss drug (semaglutide) combined with a very low-calorie diet could help people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition where high pressure in the brain causes headaches and vision problems. 38 adults with newly diagnosed II…

This study examined 100 patients having routine spinal taps to see if the pressure inside the skull is related to how much body fat they have. Researchers used a special machine called a Bod Pod to measure body fat without radiation. The goal was to better understand the connecti…

This study looked at why some people with a type of heart failure (HFpEF) develop an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers measured fluid pressure in the heart and used a noninvasive eye scan to estimate pressure inside the skull. They found that higher…

This study looked at whether ultrasound measurements of the optic nerve sheath (the lining around the eye nerve) can detect changes in brain pressure during open-heart surgery when a heart-lung machine is used. Forty adults having elective heart surgery were enrolled. The goal wa…

This study used a special helmet to measure brain pressure in 60 hospitalized COVID-19 patients without any needles or surgery. The goal was to see if changes in brain pressure relate to neurological symptoms like confusion or stroke. Researchers also checked for tiny blood clots…

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers used a special device to track brain temperature and pressure over time. The goal was to see if patterns in these measurements could help predict how well patients would recover after …
