DOI: 10.1111/ene.14865
Abstract: Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 5% of all strokes. Estimations suggest fatality rates of ~30% and about 20% rates of functional dependency, with major impact on years of life lost1 . Intracranial hypertension (defined as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.918886
Abstract: After craniectomy, patients are generally advised to wear a helmet when mobilising to protect the unshielded brain from damage. However, there exists limited guidance regarding head protection for patients at rest and when being transferred… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/0028-3886.359228
Abstract: Background Intracerebral hemorrhage is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. After intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes extremely low approaching ischemic thresholds. Concurrently, CBF velocities become strongly correlated to CBF itself post-injury.… read more here.
