Filter by:The investigators propose a technique using cone beam CT perfusion (CBCTP) imaging with an acetazolamide challenge as a potential diagnostic tool to detect a defect in cerebral autoregulation at a time when it has not yet caused clinically apparent signs or symptoms. 30 participants will be enrolled at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and can expect to be on study for about 2 weeks.
Near infrared spectroscopy is a valuable tool to monitor cerebral oxygenation during intracranial interventions. However, it yields artificial results when the dye indocyanine green (ICG) is applied, which is routinely done for intraoperative angiography. The investigators examine, to what extent and which duration NIRS is disturbed following ICG application.
Vasospasm is a current complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and often and often associated with brain ischemia. This complication is difficult to detect, because clinical examination is hardly helpful in sedated patients and the performances of transcranial doppler can only detect the spasm of middle cerebral arteries. Tissue Oxygen Pressure (PtiO2) Monitoring allows early detection of brain oxygenation local modifications and of brain ischemia, via continuous monitoring. This study aims to assess the performance of the tissue oxygen pressure monitoring in detecting a vasospasm post aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The investigators aim to investigate and understand the circulating miRNA profiles after acute aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and underlying pathological significance.
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is the metabolizing enzyme of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which may play a role in reducing neuroinflammation and regulating cerebral blood flow after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Hypotheses: Pharmacologic inhibition of the sEH enzyme is safe and will result in increased EETs availability in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. This study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1b randomized trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK2256294, a novel soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor in patients with aneurysmal SAH.
The Stroke Recovery Initiative is a nation-wide participant recruitment registry that connects people who have had a stroke with researchers who are working to develop new approaches to improve recovery after stroke.
The first aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and severity of a specific pathological metabolic pattern, mitochondrial dysfunction, of the brain in comatose patients under neurocritical care. This pattern is recognized as a complication after compromised blood flow to the brain and may be amenable to treatment. The other main aim of this study is to correlate patterns of metabolites between brain and jugular venous blood. It is probable but not proven that jugular venous microdialysis can mirror the global metabolic state of the brain.
The SAHaRA trial will clarify the role of treating anemia with Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion in a unique and vulnerable patient population, and determine whether that impacts on functional outcomes and mortality. It will guide best practice standards and clarify the optimal RBC transfusion strategy in patients with aSAH.
By doing this study, the investigator hopes to learn how the levels of important proteins involved in inflammation change over time in patients with acute brain injury. The total amount of time participants will be asked to volunteer for this study is approximately two hours over a five day period.
This is a single institutional registry database for the patients with stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Despite extensive research, most of the patients die or suffer from varying degree of post-stroke disabilities due to neurologic deficits. This registry aims to understand the disease and examine the disease dynamics in the local community.
