    Abstract Neurovascular coupling (NVC) interaction with dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) remains unclear. We investigated the effect of task complexity and duration on the interaction with dCA. Sixteen healthy participants (31.6 ± 11.6 years) performed verbal fluency (naming-words (NW)) and serial subtraction (SS) paradigms, of varying complexity, at durations of 05, 30 and 60 s. The autoregulation index (ARI), was estimated from the bilateral middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) step response, calculated by transfer function analysis (TFA), for each paradigm during unstimulated (2 min) and neuroactivated (1 min) segments. Intraclass correlation (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV) determined reproducibility for two visits and objective criteria were applied to classify responders (R) and non-responders (NoR) to task-induced MCAv increase. ICC values demonstrated fair reproducibility in all tasks. ARI decreased in right (RH) and left (LH) hemispheres, irrespective of paradigm complexity and duration (p < 0.0001). Bilateral ARI estimates were significantly decreased during NW for the R group only (p < 0.0001) but were reduced in both R (p < 0.0001) and NoR (p = 0.03) groups for SS tasks compared with baseline. The reproducible attenuation of dCA efficiency due to paradigm-induced NVC response, its interaction, and different behaviour in R and NoR, warrant further research in different physiological and clinical conditions.

    Abstract Prehospital care is a fundamental component of stroke care that predominantly focuses on shortening the time between diagnosis and reaching definitive stroke management. With growing evidence of the physiological parameters affecting long-term patient outcomes, prehospital clinicians need to consider the balance between rapid transfer and increased physiological-parameter monitoring and intervention. This systematic review explores the existing literature on prehospital physiological monitoring and intervention to modify these parameters in stroke patients. The systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022308991) and conducted across four databases with citation cascading. Based on the identified inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 studies were retained for this review. The studies were classified into two themes: physiological-monitoring intervention and pharmacological-therapy intervention. A total of 14 included studies explored prehospital physiological monitoring. Elevated blood pressure was associated with increased hematoma volume in intracerebral hemorrhage and, in some reports, with increased rates of early neurological deterioration and prehospital neurological deterioration. A reduction in prehospital heart rate variability was associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Further, five of the included records investigated the delivery of pharmacological therapy in the prehospital environment for patients presenting with acute stroke. BP-lowering interventions were successfully demonstrated through three trials; however, evidence of their benefit to clinical outcomes is limited. Two studies investigating the use of oxygen and magnesium sulfate as neuroprotective agents did not demonstrate an improvement in patient's outcomes. This systematic review highlights the absence of continuous physiological parameter monitoring, investigates fundamental physiological parameters, and provides recommendations for future work, with the aim of improving stroke patient outcomes.

    Abstract Cognitive paradigms induce changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) associated with increased metabolic demand, namely neurovascular coupling (NVC). We tested the hypothesis that the effect of complexity and duration of cognitive paradigms will either enhance or inhibit the NVC response. Bilateral CBF velocity (CBFV) in the middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) via transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD), blood pressure (BP), electrocardiogram (ECG) and end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) of 16 healthy participants (aged 21-71 years) were simultaneously recorded at rest and during randomized paradigms of different complexities (naming words beginning with P-,R-,V- words and serial subtractions of 100-2,100-7,1000-17), and durations (5s, 30s and 60s). CBFV responses were population mean normalized from a 30-s baseline period prior to task initiation. A significant increase in bilateral CBFV response was observed at the start of all paradigms and provided a similar pattern in most responses, irrespective of complexity or duration. Although significant inter-hemispherical differences were found during performance of R-word and all serial subtraction paradigms, no lateralisation was observed in more complex naming word tasks. Also, the effect of duration was manifested at late stages of 100-7, but not for other paradigms. CBFV responses could not distinguish different levels of complexity or duration with a single presentation of the cognitive paradigm. Further studies of the ordinal scalability of the NVC response are needed with more advanced modelling techniques, or different types of neural stimulation.

    Abstract Stroke simulations are needed to run in-silico trials, develop hypotheses for clinical studies and to interpret ultrasound monitoring and radiological imaging. We describe proof-of-concept three-dimensional stroke simulations, carrying out in silico trials to relate lesion volume to embolus diameter and calculate probabilistic lesion overlap maps, building on our previous Monte Carlo method. Simulated emboli were released into an in silico vasculature to simulate 1000 s of strokes. Infarct volume distributions and probabilistic lesion overlap maps were determined. Computer-generated lesions were assessed by clinicians and compared with radiological images. The key result of this study is development of a three-dimensional simulation for embolic stroke and its application to an in silico clinical trial. Probabilistic lesion overlap maps showed that the lesions from small emboli are homogeneously distributed throughout the cerebral vasculature. Mid-sized emboli were preferentially found in posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and posterior region of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories. For large emboli, MCA, PCA and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) lesions were comparable to clinical observations, with MCA, PCA then ACA territories identified as the most to least probable regions for lesions to occur. A power law relationship between lesion volume and embolus diameter was found. In conclusion, this article showed proof-of-concept for large in silico trials of embolic stroke including 3D information, identifying that embolus diameter could be determined from infarct volume and that embolus size is critically important to the resting place of emboli. We anticipate this work will form the basis of clinical applications including intraoperative monitoring, determining stroke origins, and in silico trials for complex situations such as multiple embolisation.

    Abstract Introduction: One of the fundamental challenges of managing patients with severe asthma is treatment adherence, particularly with inhaled corticosteroids. Adherence is difficult to measure objectively and poor adherence is associated with worse outcomes. In this study, assess the ability of a 'smart' inhaler to record adherence in severe asthma patients and measure the impact of this on asthma control.
    Methods: Consecutive consenting patients meeting criteria for biologics had their existing high-dose ICS/LABA//LAMA combination inhaler/s switched to mometasone/indacaterol/glycopyrronium (114/46/136). Routine clinical data, including blood eosinophils, FeNO, and ACQ-6 scores were collected at baseline and at 4 wk. Adherence was then checked on the Propeller Health app, and good adherence was defined as >80% of prescribed usage. Participants were then followed-up at 12 months to record the proportion of patients who were initiated on biologics.
    Results: 77 patients (mean [SD] age = 50.4 [15.7] years, 67.5% female [
    Conclusions: In severe asthma patients, 'smart' inhalers may represent an effective management tool to improve adherence and asthma control, therefore avoiding the need for patients to commence biological therapies.

    Abstract Over the last two decades, there have been a number of major landmark clinical trials, classified as "major" as they sought to address clear clinical practice driven questions, in a pragmatic yet robust trial design, using a large powered sample size (n > 1000), in order to help improve patient outcome through informing guidelines. A commonality across all stroke sub-types included in these trials is the tendency to acute hypertensive crises within the acute stroke period. This phenomenon is associated with greater stroke complications and worsened overall prognosis. Multiple trials have attempted to address the issue of acute blood pressure management during the acute stroke period, with consideration for timing, magnitude of lowering, agent and relationship to other interventions. This review will consider the major clinical trials performed in ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke that test the hypothesis that acute BP reduction improves clinical outcomes.
