    Abstract Cerebral microdialysis may be used in patients with severe brain injury to monitor their cerebral physiology. In this article we provide a concise synopsis with illustrations and original images of catheter types, their structure, and how they function. Where and how catheters are inserted, their identification on imaging modalities (CT and MRI), together with the roles of glucose, lactate/pyruvate ratio, glutamate, glycerol and urea are summarized in acute brain injury. The research applications of microdialysis including pharmacokinetic studies, retromicrodialysis, and its use as a biomarker for efficacy of potential therapies are outlined. Finally, we explore limitations and pitfalls of the technique, as well as potential improvements and future work that is needed to progress and expand the use of this technology.

    Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-supportive treatment in neonatal patients with refractory lung and/or heart failure. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe complication and reliable predictors are warranted. The aims of this study were to explore the incidence and possible predictors of ICH in ECMO-treated neonatal patients. We performed a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. Patients aged ≤ 28 days treated with ECMO between 2010 and 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were ICH, ischemic stroke, cerebrovascular malformation before ECMO initiation or detected within 12 h of admission, ECMO treatment < 12 h, or prior treatment with ECMO at another facility > 12 h. The primary outcome was a CT-verified ICH. Logistic regression models were employed to identify possible predictors of the primary outcome. Of the 223 patients included, 29 (13%) developed an ICH during ECMO treatment. Thirty-day mortality was 59% in the ICH group and 16% in the non-ICH group (p < 0.0001). Lower gestational age (p < 0.01, odds ratio (OR) 0.96; 95%CI 0.94-0.98), and higher pre-ECMO lactate levels (p = 0.017, OR 1.1; 95%CI 1.01-1.18) were independently associated with increased risk of ICH-development. In the clinical setting, identification of risk factors and multimodal neuromonitoring could help initiate steps that lower the risk of ICH in these patients.

    Abstract Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) is a potentially debilitating condition with long-term sequelae. Animal models are used to study rmTBI in a controlled environment, but there is currently no established standard battery of behavioral tests used. Primarily, we aimed to identify the best combination and timing of behavioral tests to distinguish injured from uninjured animals in rmTBI studies, and secondarily, to determine whether combinations of independent experiments have better behavioral outcome prediction accuracy than individual experiments. Data from 1203 mice from 58 rmTBI experiments, some of which have already been published, were used. In total, 11 types of behavioral tests were measured by 37 parameters at 13 time points during the first 6 months after injury. Univariate regression analyses were used to identify optimal combinations of behavioral tests and whether the inclusion of multiple heterogenous experiments improved accuracy.

    Abstract Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a collection of blood and fluid that arises on the brain surface due to a combination of trauma and/or inflammation. The mainstay of treatment is surgical drainage, but CSDH can recur. Dexamethasone has been shown to reduce CSDH recurrence, but its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Understanding the inflammatory mediators driving CSDH formation and recurrence and how dexamethasone alters this can help develop new therapeutic strategies.
    Methods: A subgroup of adult patients recruited to the Dex-CSDH trial, randomized to dexamethasone or placebo, who had surgery for their CSDH, were included. CSDH fluid and peripheral blood were collected intraoperatively, from post-operative drains and operated recurrences. Samples were analyzed using a 12-plex panel of inflammatory mediators. Clinical patient data were also reviewed.
    Results: A total of 52 patients, with a mean age of 76 years, were included. Five recurrent CSDHs occurred. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) had the highest concentration across all CSDHs, and only matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 had lower concentrations in CSDH compared to plasma but was increased in recurrent CSDHs. The interleukin (IL)-10 concentration was significantly lower in primary CSDHs that recurred. Most inflammatory mediators increased post-operatively, and dexamethasone significantly reduced the post-operative peak in VEGF on day 2, compared to placebo.
    Conclusion: It is evident that VEGF plays a critical role in the inflammatory response in CSDH. The post-operative reduction with dexamethasone could signal the mechanism by which it reduces recurrence. Novel therapies with a better side-effect profile than dexamethasone should be targeted at VEGF or potential alternatives such as IL-10 supplementation.

    Abstract Aim: Perinatal asphyxia, resulting in hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), has been associated with high mortality rates and severe lifelong neurodevelopmental disabilities. Our aim was to study the association between the proteomic profile in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the degree of HIE and long-term outcomes.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled 18-term born infants with HIE and 10-term born controls between 2000 and 2004 from the Karolinska University Hospital. An antibody suspension bead array and FlexMap3D analysis was used to characterise 178 unique brain-derived and inflammation associated proteins in their CSF.
    Results: Increased CSF concentrations of several brain-specific proteins were observed in the proteome of HIE patients compared with the controls. An upregulation of neuroinflammatory pathways was also noted and this was confirmed by pathway analysis. Principal component analysis revealed a gradient from favourable to unfavourable HIE grades and outcomes. The proteins that provided strong predictors were structural proteins, including myelin basic protein and alpha-II spectrin. The functional proteins included energy-related proteins like neuron-specific enolase and synaptic regulatory proteins. Increased CSF levels of 51 proteins correlated with adverse outcomes in infants with HIE.
    Conclusion: Brain-specific proteins and neuroinflammatory mediators in CSF may predict HIE degrees and outcomes after perinatal asphyxia.

    Abstract Background: Survival rate increases for preterm infants, but long-term neurodevelopmental outcome predictors are lacking. Our primary aim was to determine whether a specific proteomic profile in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of preterm infants differs from that of term infants and to identify novel biomarkers of neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.
    Methods: Twenty-seven preterm infants with median gestational age 27 w + 4 d and ten full-term infants were enrolled prospectively. Protein profiling of CSF were performed utilizing an antibody suspension bead array. The relative levels of 178 unique brain derived proteins and inflammatory mediators, selected from the Human Protein Atlas, were measured.
    Results: The CSF protein profile of preterm infants differed from that of term infants. Increased levels of brain specific proteins that are associated with neurodevelopment and neuroinflammatory pathways made up a distinct protein profile in the preterm infants. The most significant differences were seen in proteins involved in neurodevelopmental regulation and synaptic plasticity, as well as components of the innate immune system. Several proteins correlated with favorable outcome in preterm infants at 18-24 months corrected age. Among the proteins that provided strong predictors of outcome were vascular endothelial growth factor C, Neurocan core protein and seizure protein 6, all highly important in normal brain development.
    Conclusion: Our data suggest a vulnerability of the preterm brain to postnatal events and that alterations in protein levels may contribute to unfavorable neurodevelopmental outcome.

    Abstract Non-hemorrhagic brain infarction (BI) is a recognized complication in adults treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and associated with increased mortality. However, predictors of BI in these patients are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of BI in ECMO-treated adult patients. We conducted an observational cohort study of all adult patients treated with venovenous or venoarterial (VA) ECMO at our center between 2010 and 2018. The primary endpoint was a computed tomography (CT) verified BI. Logistic regression models were employed to identify BI predictors. In total, 275 patients were included, of whom 41 (15%) developed a BI. Pre-ECMO Simplified Acute Physiology Score III, pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, VA ECMO and conversion between ECMO modes were identified as predictors of BI. In the multivariable analysis, VA ECMO demonstrated independent risk association. VA ECMO also remained the independent BI predictor in a sub-group analysis excluding patients who did not undergo a head CT scan during ECMO treatment. The incidence of BI in adult ECMO patients may be higher than previously believed and is independently associated with VA ECMO mode. Larger prospective trials are warranted to validate these findings and ascertain their clinical significance.
