The effect of burst suppression on cerebral blood flow and autoregulation: a scoping review of the human and animal literature
Background: Burst suppression (BS) is an electroencephalography (EEG) pattern in which there are isoelectric periods interspersed with bursts of cortical activity. Targeting BS through anaesthetic administration is used as a tool in the neuro-intensive care unit but its relationship with cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral autoregulation (CA) is unclear. We performed a systematic scoping review investigating the effect of BS on CBF and CA in animals and humans.Methods: We searched MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, SCOPUS and Cochrane library from inception to August 2022. The data that were collected included study population, methods to induce and measure BS, and the effect on CBF and CA.Results: Overall, there were 66 studies that were included in the final results, 41 of which examined animals, 24 of which examined humans, and 1 of which examined both. In almost all the studies, BS was induced using an anaesthetic. In most of the animal and human studies, BS was associated with a decrease in CBF and cerebral metabolism, even if the mean arterial pressure remained constant. The effect on CA during periods of stress (hypercapnia, hypothermia, etc.) was variable.Discussion: BS is associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolic demand and CBF, which may explain its usefulness in patients with brain injury. More evidence is needed to elucidate the connection between BS and CA

Increasing photovoltaic (PV) panel instalments jeopardise the electrical grid frequency, especially in island countries, such as Cyprus. For a continuous growth in the PV instalments in Northern Cyprus as well as minimal usage of conventional energy sources in power generation, it is of utter importance for a grid manager to possess information on the energy production of PV panels, hence knowledge on received radiation, i.e. Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI). Therefore, the prediction of GHI plays an essential role in the growth of renewable energy in Northern Cyprus. This study focuses on forecasting long-term and short-term GHI for Kalkanlı, Northern Cyprus. For long-term forecasting, a dataset is obtained from NASA while the short-term GHI prediction is carried out with a dataset recorded at METU NCC. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms are employed for the long-term GHI forecasting. Support Vector Regression (SVR) is employed in addition to CNN and LSTM algorithms in the short-term GHI estimation. For both datasets, hybrid and stand-alone models are constructed, and their performances evaluated extensively. Additionally, seasonal forecasting is carried out for the short-term GHI estimation with a hybrid model of CNN, LSTM and SVR.Artan fotovoltaik (PV) panel kurulumları, özellikle Kıbrıs gibi ada ülkelerinde elektrik şebekesi frekansını tehlikeye atıyor. Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta PV kurulumlarında sürekli bir büyüme ve aynı zamanda güç üretiminde geleneksel enerji kaynaklarının minimum kullanımı için, bir şebeke yöneticisinin PV panellerinin enerji üretimi hakkında bilgi sahibi olması, dolayısıyla alınan radyasyon, yani Küresel Yatay Işınlama (GHI) hakkında bilgi sahibi olması son derece önemlidir. Bu nedenle, GHI tahmini Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta yenilenebilir enerjinin büyümesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır.

Statistical properties of cerebral near infrared and intracranial pressure-based cerebrovascular reactivity metrics in moderate and severe neural injury: a machine learning and time-series analysis.
BackgroundCerebrovascular reactivity has been identified as a key contributor to secondary injury following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Prevalent intracranial pressure (ICP) based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity are limited by their invasive nature and poor spatial resolution. Fortunately, interest has been building around near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based measures of cerebrovascular reactivity that utilize regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) as a surrogate for pulsatile cerebral blood volume (CBV). In this study, the relationship between ICP- and rSO2-based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity, in a cohort of critically ill TBI patients, is explored using classical machine learning clustering techniques and multivariate time-series analysis.MethodsHigh-resolution physiologic data were collected in a cohort of adult moderate to severe TBI patients at a single quaternary care site. From this data both ICP- and rSO2-based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity were derived. Utilizing agglomerative hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis, the relationship between these indices in higher dimensional physiologic space was examined. Additionally, using vector autoregressive modeling, the response of change in ICP and rSO2 (ΔICP and ΔrSO2, respectively) to an impulse in change in arterial blood pressure (ΔABP) was also examined for similarities.ResultsA total of 83 patients with 428,775 min of unique and complete physiologic data were obtained. Through agglomerative hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis, there was higher order clustering between rSO2- and ICP-based indices, separate from other physiologic parameters. Additionally, modeled responses of ΔICP and ΔrSO2 to impulses in ΔABP were similar, indicating that ΔrSO2 may be a valid surrogate for pulsatile CBV.ConclusionsrSO2- and ICP-based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity relate to one another in higher dimensional physiologic space. ΔICP and ΔrSO2 behave similar in modeled responses to impulses in ΔABP. This work strengthens the body of evidence supporting the similarities between ICP-based and rSO2-based indices of cerebrovascular reactivity and opens the door to cerebrovascular reactivity monitoring in settings where invasive ICP monitoring is not feasible

Non-Invasive Mapping of Cerebral Autoregulation Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Study Protocol
The ability of cerebral vessels to maintain a fairly constant cerebral blood flow is referred to as cerebral autoregulation (CA). Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) paired with arterial blood pressure (ABP) monitoring, continuous CA can be assessed non-invasively. Recent advances in NIRS technology can help improve the understanding of continuously assessed CA in humans with high spatial and temporal resolutions. We describe a study protocol for creating a new wearable and portable imaging system that derives CA maps of the entire brain with high sampling rates at each point. The first objective is to evaluate the CA mapping system’s performance during various perturbations using a block-trial design in 50 healthy volunteers. The second objective is to explore the impact of age and sex on regional disparities in CA using static recording and perturbation testing in 200 healthy volunteers. Using entirely non-invasive NIRS and ABP systems, we hope to prove the feasibility of deriving CA maps of the entire brain with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The development of this imaging system could potentially revolutionize the way we monitor brain physiology in humans since it would allow for an entirely non-invasive continuous assessment of regional differences in CA and improve our understanding of the impact of the aging process on cerebral vessel function

Temporal relationship between vasopressor and sedative administration and cerebrovascular response in traumatic brain injury: a time-series analysis.
Funder: Manitoba Public InsuranceBACKGROUND: Although vasopressor and sedative agents are commonly used within the intensive care unit to mediate systemic and cerebral physiology, the full impact such agents have on cerebrovascular reactivity remains unclear. Using a prospectively maintained database of high-resolution critical care and physiology, the time-series relationship between vasopressor/sedative administration, and cerebrovascular reactivity was interrogated. Cerebrovascular reactivity was assessed through intracranial pressure and near infrared spectroscopy measures. Using these derived measures, the relationship between hourly dose of medication and hourly index values could be evaluated. The individual medication dose change and their corresponding physiological response was compared. Given the high number of doses of propofol and norepinephrine, a latent profile analysis was used to identify any underlying demographic or variable relationships. Finally, using time-series methodologies of Granger causality and vector impulse response functions, the relationships between the cerebrovascular reactivity derived variables were compared. RESULTS: From this retrospective observational study of 103 TBI patients, the evaluation between the changes in vasopressor or sedative agent dosing and the previously described cerebral physiologies was completed. The assessment of the physiology pre/post infusion agent change resulted in similar overall values (Wilcoxon signed-ranked p value > 0.05). Time series methodologies demonstrated that the basic physiological relationships were identical before and after an infusion agent was changed (Granger causality demonstrated the same directional impact in over 95% of the moments, with response function being graphically identical). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that overall, there was a limited association between the changes in vasopressor or sedative agent dosing and the previously described cerebral physiologies including that of cerebrovascular reactivity. Thus, current regimens of administered sedative and vasopressor agents appear to have little to no impact on cerebrovascular reactivity in TBI
