Abstract: The overall goal of this project is to design and develop a near infrared (NIR) based mobile imaging device to detect and continuously monitor brain edema at the site of injury and in the ...

Complete obstruction of the venous system can occur with exacerbation of cerebral edema, vascular compression, and brain herniation, leading to death. Monitoring in an intensive care unit (ICU ...

This osmotic effect can be used to combat cerebral edema. By reducing the water content of the injured brain, HTS can reduce mass effect. HTS can also control ICP, leading to a decrease in ...

Recent studies have shown that aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a water channel, is induced early after stroke and potentially participates in the development of brain edema. We studied whether induction of ...
