Propofol-Based Anesthesia Maintenance and/or Volatile Anesthetics during Intracranial Aneurysm Repair: A Comparative Analysis of Neurological Outcomes. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6954. [PMID: 37959418 PMCID: PMC10648155 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile and intravenous anesthetics have substantial effects on physiological functions, notably influencing neurological function and susceptibility to injury. Despite the importance of the anesthetic approach, data on its relative risks or benefits during surgical clipping or endovascular treatments for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains scant. We investigated whether using volatile anesthetics alone or in combination with propofol infusion yields superior neurological outcomes following UIA obliteration. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1001 patients who underwent open or endovascular treatment for UIA, of whom 596 had short- and long-term neurological outcome data (modified Rankin Scale) recorded. Multivariable ordinal regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the anesthetic approach and outcomes. RESULTS Of 1001 patients, 765 received volatile anesthetics alone, while 236 received propofol infusion and volatile anesthetics (combined anesthetic group). Short-term neurological outcome data were available for 619 patients and long-term data for 596. No significant correlation was found between the anesthetic approach and neurologic outcomes, irrespective of the type of procedure (open craniotomy or endovascular treatment). The combined anesthetic group had a higher rate of ICU admission (p < 0.001) and longer ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS, p < 0.001). Similarly, a subgroup analysis revealed longer ICU and hospital LOS (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.001, respectively) in patients who underwent endovascular UIA obliteration under a combined anesthetic approach (n = 678). CONCLUSIONS The addition of propofol to volatile anesthetics during UIA obliteration does not provide short- or long-term benefits to neurologic outcomes. Compared to volatile anesthetics alone, the combination of propofol and volatile anesthetics may be associated with an increased rate of ICU admission, as well as longer ICU and hospital LOS.

Abstract
There has recently been a resurgence of interest in psychedelic compounds based on studies demonstrating their potential therapeutic applications in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse disorders, and treatment-resistant depression. Despite promising efficacy observed in some clinical trials, the full range of biological effects and mechanism(s) of action of these compounds have yet to be fully established. Indeed, most studies to date have focused on assessing the psychological mechanisms of psychedelics, often neglecting the non-psychological modes of action. However, it is important to understand that psychedelics may mediate their therapeutic effects through multi-faceted mechanisms, such as the modulation of brain network activity, neuronal plasticity, neuroendocrine function, glial cell regulation, epigenetic processes, and the gut-brain axis. This review provides a framework supporting the implementation of a multi-faceted approach, incorporating in silico, in vitro and in vivo modeling, to aid in the comprehensive understanding of the physiological effects of psychedelics and their potential for clinical application beyond the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We also provide an overview of the literature supporting the potential utility of psychedelics for the treatment of brain injury (e.g., stroke and traumatic brain injury), neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases), and gut-brain axis dysfunction associated with psychiatric disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder). To move the field forward, we outline advantageous experimental frameworks to explore these and other novel applications for psychedelics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are a biomarker and a potentially treatable mechanism of worsening brain injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Noninvasive detection of SDs could transform critical care for brain injury patients but has remained elusive. Current methods to detect SDs are based on invasive intracranial recordings with limited spatial coverage. In this study, we establish the feasibility of automated SD detection through noninvasive scalp electroencephalography (EEG) for patients with severe TBI. METHODS Building on our recent WAVEFRONT algorithm, we designed an automated SD detection method. This algorithm, with learnable parameters and improved velocity estimation, extracts and tracks propagating power depressions using low-density EEG. The dataset for testing our algorithm contains 700 total SDs in 12 severe TBI patients who underwent decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC), labeled using ground-truth intracranial EEG recordings. We utilize simultaneously recorded, continuous, low-density (19 electrodes) scalp EEG signals, to quantify the detection accuracy of WAVEFRONT in terms of true positive rate (TPR), false positive rate (FPR), as well as the accuracy of estimating SD frequency. RESULTS WAVEFRONT achieves the best average validation accuracy using Delta band EEG: 74% TPR with less than 1.5% FPR. Further, preliminary evidence suggests WAVEFRONT can estimate how frequently SDs may occur. CONCLUSIONS We establish the feasibility, and quantify the performance, of noninvasive SD detection after severe TBI using an automated algorithm. The algorithm, WAVEFRONT, can also potentially be used for diagnosis, monitoring, and tailoring treatments for worsening brain injury. Extension of these results to patients with intact skulls requires further study.

Abstract
We present an end-to-end Spatial-Temporal Graph Attention Network (STGAT) for non-invasive detection and width estimation of Cortical Spreading Depressions (CSDs) on scalp electroencephalography (EEG). Our algorithm, that we refer to as CSD Spatial-temporal graph attention network or CSD-STGAT, is trained and tested on simulated CSDs with varying width and speed ranges. Using high-density EEG, CSD-STGAT achieves less than 10.96% normalized width estimation error for narrow CSDs, with an average normalized error of 6.35%±3.08% across all widths, enabling non-invasive and automated estimation of the width of CSDs for the first time. In addition, CSD-STGAT learns the temporal and spatial features of CSDs simultaneously, which improves the "spatio-temporal tracking accuracy" (i.e., the defined detection performance metric at each electrode) of the narrow CSDs by up to 14%, compared to the state-of-the-art CSD-SpArC algorithm, with only one-tenth of the network size. CSD-STGAT achieves the best spatio-temporal tracking accuracy of 86.27%±0.53% for wide CSDs using high-density EEG, which is comparable to the performance of CSD-SpArC with less than 0.38% performance reduction. We further stitch the detections across all electrodes and over time to evaluate the "temporal accuracy". Our algorithm achieves less than 0.7% false positive rate in the simulated dataset with inter-CSD intervals ranging from 5 to 60 minutes. The lightweight architecture of CSD-STGAT paves the way towards real-time detection and parameter estimation of these waves in the brain, with significant clinical impact.

Abstract
Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a minimally invasive approach frequently used clinically to map epileptogenic regions of the brain and facilitate lesion resection surgery and increasingly explored in brain-machine interface applications. Current devices display limitations that require trade-offs among cortical surface coverage, spatial electrode resolution, aesthetic, and risk consequences and often limit the use of the mapping technology to the operating room. In this work, we report on a scalable technique for the fabrication of large-area soft robotic electrode arrays and their deployment on the cortex through a square-centimeter burr hole using a pressure-driven actuation mechanism called eversion. The deployable system consists of up to six prefolded soft legs, and it is placed subdurally on the cortex using an aqueous pressurized solution and secured to the pedestal on the rim of the small craniotomy. Each leg contains soft, microfabricated electrodes and strain sensors for real-time deployment monitoring. In a proof-of-concept acute surgery, a soft robotic electrode array was successfully deployed on the cortex of a minipig to record sensory cortical activity. This soft robotic neurotechnology opens promising avenues for minimally invasive cortical surgery and applications related to neurological disorders such as motor and sensory deficits.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a stroke type with a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Post-SAH brain injury as a determinant of poor outcome is classified into the following two types: early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). EBI consists of various acute brain pathophysiologies that occur within the first 72 hours of SAH in a clinical setting. The underlying mechanisms of DCI are considered to be cerebral vasospasm or microcirculatory disturbance, which develops mostly 4 to 14 days after clinical SAH. Glutamate is the principal neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, but excessive glutamate is known to induce neurotoxicity. Experimental and clinical studies have revealed that excessive glutamates are released after SAH. In addition, many studies have reported the relationships between excessive glutamate release or overactivation of glutamate receptors and excitotoxicity, cortical spreading depolarization, seizure, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, neuroinflammation, microthrombosis formation, microvasospasm, cerebral vasospasm, impairments of brain metabolic supply and demand, impaired neurovascular coupling, and so on, all of which potentially contribute to the development of EBI or DCI. As glutamates always exert their functions through one or more of 4 major receptors of glutamates, it would be valuable to know the mechanisms as to how glutamates cause these pathologies, and the possibility that a glutamate receptor antagonist may block the pathologies. To prevent the mechanistic steps leading to glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity may ameliorate SAH-induced brain injuries and improve the outcomes. This review addresses the current knowledge of glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity, focusing on EBI and DCI after SAH.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a multifactorial disease with a complex etiology and global consequences. Model animals are widely used in stroke studies. Various controls, either brain samples from sham-operated (SO) animals or symmetrically located brain samples from the opposite (contralateral) hemisphere (CH), are often used to analyze the processes in the damaged (ipsilateral) hemisphere (IH) after focal stroke. However, previously, it was shown that focal ischemia can lead to metabolic and transcriptomic changes not only in the IH but also in the CH. Here, using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model and genome-wide RNA sequencing, we identified 1941 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a cutoff value >1.5 and Padj < 0.05 that reflected the general transcriptome response of IH subcortical cells at 24 h after tMCAO using both SO and CH controls. Concomitantly, 861 genes were differentially expressed in IH vs. SO, whereas they were not vs. the CH control. Furthermore, they were associated with apoptosis, the cell cycle, and neurotransmitter responses. In turn, we identified 221 DEGs in IH vs. CH, which were non-DEGs vs. the SO control. Moreover, they were predominantly associated with immune-related response. We believe that both sets of non-overlapping genes recorded transcriptome changes in IH cells associated with transhemispheric differences after focal cerebral ischemia. Thus, the specific response of the CH transcriptome should be considered when using it as a control in studies of target brain regions in diseases that induce a global bilateral genetic response, such as stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are associated with worse outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), but gold standard detection requires electrocorticography with a subdural strip electrode. Electroencephalography (EEG) ictal-interictal continuum abnormalities are associated with poor outcomes after TBI and with both delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and poor outcomes after SAH. We examined rates of SD detection in patients with SAH and TBI with intraparenchymal and subdural strip electrodes and assessed which continuous EEG (cEEG) measures were associated with intracranially quantified SDs. METHODS In this single-center cohort, we included patients with SAH and TBI undergoing ≥ 24 h of interpretable intracranial monitoring via eight-contact intraparenchymal or six-contact subdural strip platinum electrodes or both. SDs were rated according to established consensus criteria and compared with cEEG findings rated according to the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society critical care EEG monitoring consensus criteria: lateralized rhythmic delta activity, generalized rhythmic delta activity, lateralized periodic discharges, generalized periodic discharges, any ictal-interictal continuum, or a composite scalp EEG tool for seizure risk estimation: the 2HELPS2B score. Among patients with SAH, cEEG was assessed for validated DCI biomarkers: new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities and new background deterioration. RESULTS Over 6 years, SDs were recorded in 5 (18%) of 28 patients recorded with intraparenchymal electrodes and 4 (40%) of 10 patients recorded with subdural strip electrodes. There was no significant association between occurrence of SDs and day 1 cEEG findings (American Clinical Neurophysiology Society main terms lateralized periodic discharges, generalized periodic discharges, lateralized rhythmic delta activity, or seizures, individually or in combination). After SAH, established cEEG DCI predictors were not associated with SDs. CONCLUSIONS Intraparenchymal recordings yielded low rates of SD, and documented SDs were not associated with ictal-interictal continuum abnormalities or other cEEG DCI predictors. Identifying scalp EEG correlates of SD may require training computational EEG analytics and use of gold standard subdural strip electrocorticography recordings.

Abstract
Background Persistent sensorimotor impairments after stroke can negatively impact quality of life. The hippocampus is vulnerable to poststroke secondary degeneration and is involved in sensorimotor behavior but has not been widely studied within the context of poststroke upper-limb sensorimotor impairment. We investigated associations between non-lesioned hippocampal volume and upper limb sensorimotor impairment in people with chronic stroke, hypothesizing that smaller ipsilesional hippocampal volumes would be associated with greater sensorimotor impairment. Methods and Results Cross-sectional T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of the brain were pooled from 357 participants with chronic stroke from 18 research cohorts of the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuoImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Stroke Recovery Working Group. Sensorimotor impairment was estimated from the FMA-UE (Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity). Robust mixed-effects linear models were used to test associations between poststroke sensorimotor impairment and hippocampal volumes (ipsilesional and contralesional separately; Bonferroni-corrected, P<0.025), controlling for age, sex, lesion volume, and lesioned hemisphere. In exploratory analyses, we tested for a sensorimotor impairment and sex interaction and relationships between lesion volume, sensorimotor damage, and hippocampal volume. Greater sensorimotor impairment was significantly associated with ipsilesional (P=0.005; β=0.16) but not contralesional (P=0.96; β=0.003) hippocampal volume, independent of lesion volume and other covariates (P=0.001; β=0.26). Women showed progressively worsening sensorimotor impairment with smaller ipsilesional (P=0.008; β=-0.26) and contralesional (P=0.006; β=-0.27) hippocampal volumes compared with men. Hippocampal volume was associated with lesion size (P<0.001; β=-0.21) and extent of sensorimotor damage (P=0.003; β=-0.15). Conclusions The present study identifies novel associations between chronic poststroke sensorimotor impairment and ipsilesional hippocampal volume that are not caused by lesion size and may be stronger in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most consequential secondary insult after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is a multifactorial process caused by a combination of large artery vasospasm and microcirculatory dysregulation. Despite numerous efforts, no effective therapeutic strategies are available to prevent DCI. The trigeminal nerve richly innervates cerebral blood vessels and releases a host of vasoactive agents upon stimulation. As such, electrical trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) has the capability of enhancing cerebral circulation. OBJECTIVE To determine whether TNS can restore impaired cerebral macrocirculation and microcirculation in an experimental rat model of SAH. METHODS The animals were randomly assigned to sham-operated, SAH-control, and SAH-TNS groups. SAH was induced by endovascular perforation on Day 0, followed by KCl-induced cortical spreading depolarization on day 1, and sample collection on day 2. TNS was delivered on day 1. Multiple end points were assessed including cerebral vasospasm, microvascular spasm, microthrombosis, calcitonin gene-related peptide and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations, degree of cerebral ischemia and apoptosis, and neurobehavioral outcomes. RESULTS SAH resulted in significant vasoconstriction in both major cerebral vessels and cortical pial arterioles. Compared with the SAH-control group, TNS increased lumen diameters of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, and anterior cerebral artery, and decreased pial arteriolar wall thickness. Additionally, TNS increased cerebrospinal fluid calcitonin gene-related peptide levels, and decreased cortical intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression, parenchymal microthrombi formation, ischemia-induced hypoxic injury, cellular apoptosis, and neurobehavioral deficits. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that TNS can enhance cerebral circulation at multiple levels, lessen the impact of cerebral ischemia, and ameliorate the consequences of DCI after SAH.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remains a challenging but very important condition, because DCI is preventable and treatable for improving functional outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The pathologies underlying DCI are multifactorial. Classical approaches to DCI focus exclusively on preventing and treating the reduction of blood flow supply. However, recently, glutamate-mediated neuroelectric disruptions, such as excitotoxicity, cortical spreading depolarization and seizures, and epileptiform discharges, have been reported to occur in high frequencies in association with DCI development after SAH. Each of the neuroelectric disruptions can trigger the other, which augments metabolic demand. If increased metabolic demand exceeds the impaired blood supply, the mismatch leads to relative ischemia, resulting in DCI. The neuroelectric disruption also induces inverted vasoconstrictive neurovascular coupling in compromised brain tissues after SAH, causing DCI. Although glutamates and the receptors may play central roles in the development of excitotoxicity, cortical spreading ischemia and epileptic activity-related events, more studies are needed to clarify the pathophysiology and to develop novel therapeutic strategies for preventing or treating neuroelectric disruption-related DCI after SAH. This article reviews the recent advancement in research on neuroelectric disruption after SAH.

Abstract
SUMMARY In this review, we discuss the utility of quantitative EEG parameters for the detection of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the context of the complex pathophysiology of DCI and the limitations of current diagnostic methods. Because of the multifactorial pathophysiology of DCI, methodologies solely assessing blood vessel narrowing (vasospasm) are insufficient to detect all DCI. Quantitative EEG has facilitated the exploration of EEG as a diagnostic modality of DCI. Multiple quantitative EEG parameters such as alpha power, relative alpha variability, and alpha/delta ratio show reliable detection of DCI in multiple studies. Recent studies on epileptiform abnormalities suggest that their potential for the detection of DCI. Quantitative EEG is a promising, continuous, noninvasive, monitoring modality of DCI implementable in daily practice. Future work should validate these parameters in larger populations, facilitated by the development of automated detection algorithms and multimodal data integration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortical spreading depolarizations (CSDs) are associated with worse outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Animal models are required to assess whether CSDs can worsen outcomes or are an epiphenomenon; however, little is known about the presence of CSDs in existing animal models. Therefore, we designed a study to determine whether CSDs occur in a mouse model of SAH. METHODS A total of 36 mice were included in the study. We used the anterior prechiasmatic injection model of SAH under isoflurane anesthesia. A needle was inserted through the mouse olfactory bulb with the point terminating at the base of the skull, and arterial blood or saline (100 µl) was injected over 10 s. Changes in cerebral blood volume over the entire dorsal cortical surface were assessed with optical intrinsic signal imaging for 5 min following needle insertion. RESULTS CSDs occurred in 100% of mice in the hemisphere ipsilateral to olfactory bulb needle insertion (CSD1). Saline-injected mice had 100% survival (n = 10). Blood-injected mice had 88% survival (n = 23 of 26). A second, delayed, CSD ipsilateral to CSD1 occurred in 31% of blood-injected mice. An increase in the time interval between CSD1 and blood injection was associated with the occurrence of a second CSD in blood-injected mice (mean intervals 26.4 vs. 72.7 s, p < 0.0001, n = 18 and 8). We observed one blood-injected animal with a second CSD in the contralateral hemisphere and observed terminal CSDs in mice that died following SAH injection. CONCLUSIONS The prechiasmatic injection model of SAH includes CSDs that occur at the time of needle insertion. The occurrence of subsequent CSDs depends on the timing between CSD1 and blood injection. The mouse prechiasmatic injection model could be considered an SAH plus CSD model of the disease. Further work is needed to determine the effect of multiple CSDs on outcomes following SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains an important problem with a complex pathophysiology. We used data from a single-center randomized trial to assess the effect of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, cilostazol, in patients with aneurysmal SAH to explore the relationships of DCI with vasospasm, spreading depolarization (SD) and microcirculatory disturbance. METHODS A post hoc analysis of a single-center, prospective, randomized trial of the effect of cilostazol on DCI and SD after aneurysmal SAH was performed. From all randomized cohorts, patients who underwent both SD monitoring and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) on day 9 ± 2 from onset were included. Cerebral circulation time (CCT), which was divided into proximal CCT and peripheral CCT (as a measure of microcirculatory disturbance), was obtained from DSA. Logistic regression was conducted to determine factors associated with DCI. RESULTS Complete data were available for 28 of 50 patients. Of the 28 patients, 8 (28.5%) had DCI during the study period. Multivariate analysis indicated a strong association between the number of SDs on the day DSA was performed (i.e., a delayed time point after SAH onset) and DCI (odds ratio 2.064, 95% confidence interval 1.045-4.075, P = 0.037, area under the curve 0.836), whereas the degree of angiographic vasospasm and peripheral CCT were not significant factors for DCI. CONCLUSIONS There is a strong association between SD and DCI. Our results suggest that SD is an important therapeutic target and a potentially useful biomarker for DCI.

Abstract
Recurrent waves of spreading depolarization (SD) occur in brain injury and are thought to affect outcomes. What triggers SD in intracerebral hemorrhage is poorly understood. We employed intrinsic optical signaling, laser speckle flowmetry, and electrocorticography to elucidate the mechanisms triggering SD in a collagenase model of intracortical hemorrhage in mice. Hematoma growth, SD occurrence, and cortical blood flow changes were tracked. During early hemorrhage (0-4 h), 17 out of 38 mice developed SDs, which always originated from the hematoma. No SD was detected at late time points (8-52 h). Neither hematoma size, nor peri-hematoma perfusion were associated with SD occurrence. Further, arguing against ischemia as a trigger factor, normobaric hyperoxia did not inhibit SD occurrence. Instead, SDs always occurred during periods of rapid hematoma growth, which was two-fold faster immediately preceding an SD compared with the peak growth rates in animals that did not develop any SDs. Induced hypertension accelerated hematoma growth and resulted in a four-fold increase in SD occurrence compared with normotensive animals. Altogether, our data suggest that spontaneous SDs in this intracortical hemorrhage model are triggered by the mechanical distortion of tissue by rapidly growing hematomas.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a neurologic emergency that requires immediate patient stabilization and prompt diagnosis and treatment. Early measures should focus on principles of advanced cardiovascular life support. The aneurysm should be evaluated and treated in a comprehensive stroke center by a multidisciplinary team capable of endovascular and, operative approaches. Once the aneurysm is secured, the patient is best managed by a dedicated neurocritical care service to prevent and manage complications, including a syndrome of delayed neurologic decline. The goal of such specialized care is to prevent secondary injury, reduce length of stay, and improve outcomes for survivors of the disease.

Abstract
Background Preclinical studies suggest that volatile anesthetics decrease infarct volume and improve the outcome of ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine their effect during noncardiac surgery on postoperative ischemic stroke incidence. Methods and Results This was a retrospective cohort study of surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia at 2 tertiary care centers in Boston, MA, between October 2005 and September 2017. Exclusion criteria comprised brain death, age <18 years, cardiac surgery, and missing covariate data. The exposure was defined as median age‐adjusted minimum alveolar concentration of all intraoperative measurements of desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane. The primary outcome was postoperative ischemic stroke within 30 days. Among 314 932 patients, 1957 (0.6%) experienced the primary outcome. Higher doses of volatile anesthetics had a protective effect on postoperative ischemic stroke incidence (adjusted odds ratio per 1 minimum alveolar concentration increase 0.49, 95% CI, 0.40–0.59, P<0.001). In Cox proportional hazards regression, the effect was observed for 17 postoperative days (postoperative day 1: hazard ratio (HR), 0.56; 95% CI, 0.48–0.65; versus day 17: HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74–0.99). Volatile anesthetics were also associated with lower stroke severity: Every 1‐unit increase in minimum alveolar concentration was associated with a 0.006‐unit decrease in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (95% CI, −0.01 to −0.002, P=0.002). The effects were robust throughout various sensitivity analyses including adjustment for anesthesia providers as random effect. Conclusions Among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, volatile anesthetics showed a dose‐dependent protective effect on the incidence and severity of early postoperative ischemic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to describe the case of a patient who had presented to a university hospital with induced-hypertension (IH) posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). We also reviewed all other reports of such patients. METHODS We have described the clinical course of a patient who had presented to the university hospital neurosurgical department. We also performed a systematic review of studies related to the incidence of PRES caused by the use of IH in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. RESULTS The patient had presented with an acute-onset headache and found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture. She underwent coiling the next day. During the subsequent days, she demonstrated fluctuating clinical examination findings, aphasia, and decreased levels of arousal. Digital subtraction angiography was performed, and the findings were concerning for mild vasospasm of the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The systolic blood pressure goal was increased to 180-220 mm Hg for an IH trial, which had initially resulted in some transient clinical improvements in her level of arousal. However, the improvement was not sustained. During the next 36 hours, the patient worsened, and she developed left middle cerebral artery syndrome. Given the concern for a possible ischemic event, magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which demonstrated interval development of multiple areas of cortical-based fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity consistent with PRES. The systolic blood pressure goal was relaxed to normotension, and ~48 hours later, the patient's clinical status had significantly improved. CONCLUSION IH-PRES is a rare complication that should be remembered in the differential diagnosis for at-risk patients.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is recognized as a cause of transient neurological symptoms (TNS) in various clinical entities. Although scientific literature has been flourishing in the field of CSD, it remains an underrecognized pathophysiology in clinical practice. The literature evoking CSD in relation to subdural hematoma (SDH) is particularly scarce. Patients with SDH frequently suffer from TNS, most being attributed to seizures despite an atypical semiology, evolution, and therapeutic response. Recent literature has suggested that a significant proportion of those patients' TNS represent the clinical manifestations of underlying CSD. Recently, the term Non-Epileptical Stereoytpical Intermittent Symptoms (NESIS) has been proposed to describe a subgroup of patients presenting with TNS in the context of SDH. Indirect evidence and recent research suggest that the pathophysiology of NESIS could represent the clinical manifestation of CSD. This review should provide a concise yet thorough review of the current state of literature behind the pathophysiology of CSD with a particular focus on recent research and knowledge regarding the presence of CSD in the context of subdural hematoma. Although many questions remain in the evolution of knowledge in this field would likely have significant diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications.

Abstract
Cerebral vascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders that affect the blood supply to the brain and lead to the reduction of oxygen and glucose supply to the neurons and the supporting cells. Spreading depolarization (SD), a propagating wave of neuroglial depolarization, occurs in different CVDs. A growing amount of evidence suggests that the inflammatory responses following hypoxic-ischemic insults and after SD plays a double-edged role in brain tissue injury and clinical outcome; a beneficial effect in the acute phase and a destructive role in the late phase. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in the activation of inflammatory cascades and subsequent neuroprotective or harmful effects after CVDs and SD. Here, we review current data regarding the pathophysiological role of TLR signaling pathways in different CVDs and discuss the role of SD in the potentiation of the inflammatory cascade in CVDs through the modulation of TLRs.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarizations (SD) are strongly associated with worse tissue injury and clinical outcomes in the setting of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Animal studies have suggested a causal relationship, and new therapies to target SDs are starting to be tested in clinical studies. A recent set of single-center randomized trials assessed the effect of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor cilostazol in patients with SAH. Cilostazol led to improved functional outcomes and SD-related metrics in treated patients through a putative mechanism of improved cerebral blood flow. Another promising therapeutic approach includes attempts to block SDs with, for example, the NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine. SDs have emerged not only as a therapeutic target but also as a potentially useful biomarker for brain injury following SAH. Additional clinical and preclinical experimental work is greatly needed to assess the generalizability of existing therapeutic trials and to better delineate the relationship between SDs, SAH, and functional outcome.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) afflicts ~ 550,000 people each year in the USA. A small fraction of CA sufferers survive with a majority of these survivors emerging in a comatose state. Many CA survivors suffer devastating global brain injury with some remaining indefinitely in a comatose state. The pathogenesis of global brain injury secondary to CA is complex. Mechanisms of CA-induced brain injury include ischemia, hypoxia, cytotoxicity, inflammation, and ultimately, irreversible neuronal damage. Due to this complexity, it is critical for clinicians to have access as early as possible to quantitative metrics for diagnosing injury severity, accurately predicting outcome, and informing patient care. Current recommendations involve using multiple modalities including clinical exam, electrophysiology, brain imaging, and molecular biomarkers. This multi-faceted approach is designed to improve prognostication to avoid "self-fulfilling" prophecy and early withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments. Incorporation of emerging dynamic monitoring tools such as diffuse optical technologies may provide improved diagnosis and early prognostication to better inform treatment. Currently, targeted temperature management (TTM) is the leading treatment, with the number of patients needed to treat being ~ 6 in order to improve outcome for one patient. Future avenues of treatment, which may potentially be combined with TTM, include pharmacotherapy, perfusion/oxygenation targets, and pre/postconditioning. In this review, we provide a bench to bedside approach to delineate the pathophysiology, prognostication methods, current targeted therapies, and future directions of research surrounding hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) secondary to CA.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- We evaluated the association between 2 types of predictors of delayed cerebral ischemia after nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, including biomarkers of the innate immune response and neurophysiologic changes on continuous electroencephalography. Methods- We studied subarachnoid hemorrhage patients that had at least 72 hours of continuous electroencephalography and blood samples collected within the first 5 days of symptom onset. We measured inflammatory biomarkers previously associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and functional outcome, including soluble ST2 (sST2), IL-6 (interleukin-6), and CRP (C-reactive protein). Serial plasma samples and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 levels were available in a subgroup of patients. Neurophysiologic changes were categorized into new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or new background deterioration. The association of biomarkers with neurophysiologic changes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 were further examined longitudinally using repeated measures mixed-effects models. Results- Forty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Seventeen (37%) patients developed new or worsening EAs, 21 (46%) developed new background deterioration, and 8 (17%) developed neither. Early (day, 0-5) plasma sST2 levels were higher among patients with new or worsening EAs (median 115 ng/mL [interquartile range, 73.8-197]) versus those without (74.7 ng/mL [interquartile range, 44.8-102]; P=0.024). Plasma sST2 levels were similar between patients with or without new background deterioration. Repeated measures mixed-effects modeling that adjusted for admission risk factors showed that the association with new or worsening EAs remained independent for both plasma sST2 (β=0.41 [95% CI, 0.09-0.73]; P=0.01) and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 (β=0.97 [95% CI, 0.14-1.8]; P=0.021). IL-6 and CRP were not associated with new background deterioration or with new or worsening EAs. Conclusions- In patients admitted with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sST2 level was associated with new or worsening EAs but not new background deterioration. This association may identify a link between a specific innate immune response pathway and continuous electroencephalography abnormalities in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is among the most dreaded complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Despite advances in neurocritical care, DCI remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and high healthcare costs. Large artery vasospasm has classically been thought to lead to DCI. However, recent failure of clinical trials targeting vasospasm to improve outcomes has underscored the disconnect between large artery vasospasm and DCI. Therefore, interest has shifted onto other potential mechanisms such as microvascular dysfunction and spreading depolarizations. Animal models can be instrumental in dissecting pathophysiology, but clinical relevance can be difficult to establish. METHODS Here, we performed a systematic review of the literature on animal models of SAH, focusing specifically on DCI and neurological deficits. RESULTS We find that dog, rabbit and rodent models do not consistently lead to DCI, although some degree of delayed vascular dysfunction is common. Primate models reliably recapitulate delayed neurological deficits and ischemic brain injury; however, ethical issues and cost limit their translational utility. CONCLUSIONS To facilitate translation, clinically relevant animal models that reproduce the pathophysiology and cardinal features of DCI after SAH are urgently needed.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in care and aneurysm treatment strategies. Cerebral vasospasm continues to be a major source of clinical worsening in patients. We intended to review the clinical and experimental aspects of aSAH and identify strategies that are being evaluated for the treatment of vasospasm. A literature review on aSAH and cerebral vasospasm was performed. Available treatments for aSAH continue to expand as research continues to identify new therapeutic targets. Oral nimodipine is the primary medication used in practice given its neuroprotective properties. Transluminal balloon angioplasty is widely utilized in patients with symptomatic vasospasm and ischemia. Prophylactic "triple-H" therapy, clazosentan, and intraarterial papaverine have fallen out of practice. Trials have not shown strong evidence supporting magnesium or statins. Other calcium channel blockers, milrinone, tirilazad, fasudil, cilostazol, albumin, eicosapentaenoic acid, erythropoietin, corticosteroids, minocycline, deferoxamine, intrathecal thrombolytics, need to be further investigated. Many of the current experimental drugs may have significant roles in the treatment algorithm, and further clinical trials are needed. There is growing evidence supporting that early brain injury in aSAH may lead to significant morbidity and mortality, and this needs to be explored further.

Abstract
Spreading depolarization (SD) is a self-propagating wave of near-complete neuronal depolarization that is abundant in a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke. SD was only recently documented in humans and is now considered a therapeutic target for brain injury, but the mechanisms related to SD in complex brains are not well understood. While there are numerous approaches to interventional imaging of SD on the exposed brain surface, measuring SD deep in brain is so far only possible with low spatiotemporal resolution and poor contrast. Here, we show that photoacoustic imaging enables the study of SD and its hemodynamics deep in the gyrencephalic brain with high spatiotemporal resolution. As rapid neuronal depolarization causes tissue hypoxia, we achieve this by continuously estimating blood oxygenation with an intraoperative hybrid photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging system. Due to its high resolution, promising imaging depth and high contrast, this novel approach to SD imaging can yield new insights into SD and thereby lead to advances in stroke, and brain injury research.

There are no animal models of these lesions and mechanisms are unknown, although mass cortical spreading depolarizations are hypothesized as a requisite mechanism and clinical marker of infarct development. Here we studied acute sequelae of subarachnoid haemorrhage in the gyrencephalic brain of propofol-anaesthetized juvenile swine using subdural electrode strips (electrocorticography) and intraparenchymal neuromonitoring probes. Subarachnoid infusion of 1–2 ml of fresh blood at 200 µl/min over cortical sulci caused clusters of spreading depolarizations (count range: 12–34) in 7/17 animals in the ipsilateral but not contralateral hemisphere in 6 h of monitoring, without meaningful changes in other variables. Spreading depolarization clusters were associated with formation of sulcal clots (P < 0.01), a high likelihood of adjacent cortical infarcts (5/7 versus 2/10, P < 0.06), and upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in ipsilateral cortex remote from clots/infarcts. In a second cohort, infusion of 1 ml of clotted blood into a sulcus caused spreading depolarizations in 5/6 animals (count range: 4–20 in 6 h) and persistent thick clots with patchy or extensive infarction of circumscribed cortex in all animals. Infarcts were significantly larger after blood clot infusion compared to mass effect controls using fibrin clots of equal volume. Haematoxylin and eosin staining of infarcts showed well demarcated zones of oedema and hypoxic-ischaemic neuronal injury, consistent with acute infarction. The association of spreading depolarizations with early brain injury was then investigated in 23 patients [14 female; age (median, quartiles): 57 years (47, 63)] after repair of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms by clip ligation (n = 14) or coiling (n = 9). Frontal electrocorticography [duration: 54 h (34, 66)] from subdural electrode strips was analysed over Days 0–3 after initial haemorrhage and magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed at ∼ 24–48 h after aneurysm treatment. Patients with frontal infarcts only and those with frontal infarcts and/or intracerebral haemorrhage were both significantly more likely to have spreading depolarizations (6/7 and 10/12, respectively) than those without frontal brain lesions (1/11, P’s < 0.05). These results suggest that subarachnoid clots in sulci/fissures are sufficient to induce spreading depolarizations and acute infarction in adjacent cortex. We hypothesize that the cellular toxicity and vasoconstrictive effects of depolarizations act in synergy with direct ischaemic effects of haemorrhage as mechanisms of infarct development. Results further validate spreading depolarizations as a clinical marker of early brain injury and establish a clinically relevant model to investigate causal pathologic sequences and potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective study; to investigate in emergency patients with stroke the relationship between jugular saturation and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), lesion volume and mortality score. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, 82 patients who fulfilling the criteria for inclusion in diagnosed with were enrolled in the study. Patients' demographic data, comorbid conditions and stroke type were recorded. The arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and consciousness were recorded at the emergency department. Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and National Health Institutions Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were calculated. Complete Blood Count (CBC) and biochemical values were obtained at the time of admission to the emergency department. Arterial blood gas and jugular venous blood gas were taken and pO2, SpO2 and lactate values were recorded. Patients were grouped according to jugular desaturation (<50%). After imaging, the lesion was located by a specialist radiologist and the lesion volume was calculated. Afterwards, it was followed up by means of the hospital registry system where the patients were followed up (service, intensive care), hospitalization time and whether in-hospital mortality occurred. RESULTS 82 patients were included in the study. Of the 82 patients, 36 (43.9%) were male and 46 (56.1%) were female. The mean age was 69.8 ± 13.3. Patients were divided into two groups, jugular venous saturation <50% and ≥50%. 16 patients with J.SpO2 <50% were detected. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of age, sex, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), National Health Institutions Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, laboratory data other than hemoglobin and lesion volume (p > 0,05). In-hospital mortality occurred in 9 (13.6%) of patients with J.SpO2 ≥% 50; In the group with J.SpO2 < % 50, 6 patients (37.5%) died within the hospital and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0,05). CONCLUSION SjVO2 measurement can be used to identify high-risk stroke patients and to direct critical interventions. However, no correlation was found between this value and lesion volume and NIHSS scale.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization (SD) is the electrophysiological event underlying migraine aura, and a critical contributor to secondary damage after brain injury. Experimental models of SD have been used for decades in migraine and brain injury research; however, they are highly invasive and often cause primary tissue injury, diminishing their translational value. Here we present a non-invasive method to trigger SDs using light-induced depolarization in transgenic mice expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in neurons (Thy1-ChR2-YFP). Focal illumination (470 nm, 1-10 mW) through intact skull using an optical fiber evokes power-dependent steady extracellular potential shifts and local elevations of extracellular [K+] that culminate in an SD when power exceeds a threshold. Using the model, we show that homozygous mice are significantly more susceptible to SD (i.e., lower light thresholds) than heterozygous ChR2 mice. Moreover, we show SD susceptibility differs significantly among cortical divisions (motor, whisker barrel, sensory, visual, in decreasing order of susceptibility), which correlates with relative channelrhodopsin-2 expression. Furthermore, the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 blocks the transition to SD without diminishing extracellular potential shifts. Altogether, our data show that the optogenetic SD model is highly suitable for examining physiological or pharmacological modulation of SD in acute and longitudinal studies.

Abstract
In patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), increased brain extracellular interleukin (IL)-6 levels measured by cerebral microdialysis (CMD) were associated with disease severity, early brain injury, delayed cerebral infarction, and axonal injury. In this study, we analyzed brain extracellular IL-6 levels of aSAH patients following parenteral diclofenac. Twenty-four mechanically ventilated poor-grade aSAH patients were included. Changes in cerebral metabolism, brain/body temperature, and CMD-IL-6 levels following intravenous diclofenac infusion (DCF; 75 mg diluted in 100 cc normal saline) were retrospectively analyzed from prospectively collected bedside data (at 1 hour before DCF = baseline; and at 2, 4, and 8 hours after DCF). Statistical analysis was performed using generalized estimating equations. Seventy-two events in 24 aSAH patients were analyzed. Median age was 60 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 52-67), admission Hunt & Hess grade was 4 (IQR: 3-5), and modified Fisher grade (mFisher) was 4 (IQR: 3-4). Higher CMD-IL-6 levels at baseline were linked to fever, higher mFisher, delayed cerebral infarction, and metabolic distress (p < 0.05). CMD-IL-6 levels at baseline were 281.4 pg/mL (IQR: 47-1866) and significantly (p < 0.001; Wald-X2 = 106) decreased at 2 hours to 86.3 pg/mL (IQR: 7-1946), at 4 hours to 40.9 pg/mL (IQR: 4-1237), and at 8 hours to 53.5 pg/mL (IQR: 5-1085), independent of probe location or day after bleeding. Parenteral diclofenac may attenuate brain extracellular proinflammatory response in poor-grade aSAH patients.

Abstract
Migraine is among the most prevalent and disabling neurological diseases in the world. Cortical spreading depression (SD) is an intense wave of neuronal and glial depolarization underlying migraine aura, and a headache trigger, which has been used as an experimental platform for drug screening in migraine. Here, we provide an overview of novel therapeutic targets that show promise to suppress SD, such as acid-sensing ion channels, casein kinase Iδ, P2X7-pannexin 1 complex, and neuromodulation, and outline the experimental models and essential quality measures for rigorous and reproducible efficacy testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify whether abnormal neural activity, in the form of epileptiform discharges and rhythmic or periodic activity, which we term here ictal-interictal continuum abnormalities (IICAs), are associated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). METHODS Retrospective analysis of continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) reports and medical records from 124 patients with moderate to severe grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We identified daily occurrence of seizures and IICAs. Using survival analysis methods, we estimated the cumulative probability of IICA onset time for patients with and without delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). RESULTS Our data suggest the presence of IICAs indeed increases the risk of developing DCI, especially when they begin several days after the onset of SAH. We found that all IICA types except generalized rhythmic delta activity occur more commonly in patients who develop DCI. In particular, IICAs that begin later in hospitalization correlate with increased risk of DCI. CONCLUSIONS IICAs represent a new marker for identifying early patients at increased risk for DCI. Moreover, IICAs might contribute mechanistically to DCI and therefore represent a new potential target for intervention to prevent secondary cerebral injury following SAH. SIGNIFICANCE These findings imply that IICAs may be a novel marker for predicting those at higher risk for DCI development.

Abstract
For patients who survive the initial bleeding event of a ruptured brain aneurysm, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is one of the most important causes of mortality and poor neurological outcome. New insights in the last decade have led to an important paradigm shift in the understanding of DCI pathogenesis. Large-vessel cerebral vasospasm has been challenged as the sole causal mechanism; new hypotheses now focus on the early brain injury, microcirculatory dysfunction, impaired autoregulation, and spreading depolarization. Prevention of DCI primarily relies on nimodipine administration and optimization of blood volume and cardiac performance. Neurological monitoring is essential for early DCI detection and intervention. Serial clinical examination combined with intermittent transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and CT angiography (with or without perfusion) is the most commonly used monitoring paradigm, and usually suffices in good grade patients. By contrast, poor grade patients (WFNS grades 4 and 5) require more advanced monitoring because stupor and coma reduce sensitivity to the effects of ischemia. Greater reliance on CT perfusion imaging, continuous electroencephalography, and invasive brain multimodality monitoring are potential strategies to improve situational awareness as it relates to detecting DCI. Pharmacologically-induced hypertension combined with volume is the established first-line therapy for DCI; a good clinical response with reversal of the presenting deficit occurs in 70 % of patients. Medically refractory DCI, defined as failure to respond adequately to these measures, should trigger step-wise escalation of rescue therapy. Level 1 rescue therapy consists of cardiac output optimization, hemoglobin optimization, and endovascular intervention, including angioplasty and intra-arterial vasodilator infusion. In highly refractory cases, level 2 rescue therapies are also considered, none of which have been validated. This review provides an overview of current state-of-the-art care for DCI management.
