In a new study in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, an international team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen, National Institutes of Health and the University of Oslo among others have come closer to a new way of attacking the disease. They target the efforts towards the cleaning process in the brain cells called mitophagy. Read the article here
International recognition of intracranial pressure measurement practice at the Neurosurgical Department, Oslo University Hospital
NeuroPoint Alliance has evaluated intracranial pressure wave measurements in the management of neurosurgical patients in April 2014. They found the concept of intracranial pressure wave measurements to be valid and pointed out its potential as an extremely valuable tool in neurointensive care.
The report can be downloaded here.
NeuroPoint Alliance was established in 2008 by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons to collect, analyze and report on clinical data from neurosurgical practices.
