The Course of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability Assessed by Advanced Neurosonology [PDF]
Background: Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. This risk is related to plaque vulnerability and is characterized by plaque morphology, intraplaque neovascularization, and cerebral microembolization.

Brazilian guidelines for the application of transcranial ultrasound as a diagnostic test for the confirmation of brain death [PDF]
Neurosonological studies, specifically transcranial Doppler (TCD) and transcranial color-coded duplex (TCCD), have high level of specificity and sensitivity and they are used as complementary tests for the diagnosis of brain death (BD).

Pediatric Neurosonology in Practice: Bridging Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Decision‐Making
Pediatric neurosonology is an important component of non‐invasive brain monitoring. The combination of transcranial and ocular ultrasound enables real‐time assessment of cerebral blood flow velocities, autoregulation, and intracranial dynamics across ...

Realistic simulation is associated with healthcare professionals’ increased self-perception of confidence in providing acute stroke care: a before-after controlled study [PDF]
Background: Simulations are becoming widely used in medical education, but there is little evidence of their effectiveness on neurocritical care. Because acute stroke is a neurological emergency demanding prompt attention, it is a promising candidate ...

Transcranial Ultrasound in the Helicopter Emergency Medical Services-A Feasibility Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Transcranial color‐coded Doppler (TCCD) is a noninvasive, widely available diagnostic method that may identify large vessel occlusion (LVO) in acute stroke patients. This study aimed to explore whether helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) physicians could use TCCD in a prehospital setting to identify the proximal
