          Abstract

          Background/Aims: Patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have higher occurrence rates of cerebral diseases, including uremic encephalopathy, cognitive impairment, dementia, and cerebrovascular disease, than the general population. During HD, ultrafiltration is performed to maintain an adequate fluid condition and is associated with subsequent blood volume (BV) reduction. We aimed to (1) monitor changes in cerebral oxygenation and BV reduction during HD, and (2) clarify the mechanism that influences cerebral oxygenation in HD patients. Methods: Eighteen HD patients and 12 healthy controls were recruited. Regional saturation of oxygen (rSO<sub>2</sub>) was continuously monitored in the frontal cortex using INVOS 5100C before, during, and after HD, and in healthy controls. Relative change in BV (%ΔBV) was simultaneously monitored during HD using a BV monitor. Results: Before HD, patients had significantly lower rSO<sub>2</sub> values than controls (56.1 ± 1.4 vs. 70.4 ± 2.5%, p < 0.001). Although %ΔBV significantly decreased from 20 min to the end of HD (20 min: -3.3 ± 0.3%, p < 0.05; end of HD: -12.0 ± 1.0%, p < 0.01), changes in rSO<sub>2</sub> values during HD were not significant. No relationship existed between rSO<sub>2</sub> values and blood pressure levels, hemoglobin levels, oxygen pressure, HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>- </sup>, oxygen saturation, and arterial O<sub>2</sub> content before and after HD. Furthermore, changes in rSO<sub>2</sub> were not correlated with changes in these parameters. Conclusion: rSO<sub>2</sub> values before HD were significantly lower in HD patients than in healthy controls. rSO<sub>2</sub> values were maintained during HD and were not influenced by BV reduction.

          Principles, techniques, and limitations of near infrared spectroscopy.

          In the last decade the study of the human brain and muscle energetics underwent a radical change, thanks to the progressive introduction of noninvasive techniques, including near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (NIRS). This review summarizes the most recent literature about the principles, techniques, advantages, limitations, and applications of NIRS in exercise physiology and neuroscience. The main NIRS instrumentations and measurable parameters will be reported. NIR light (700-1000 m) penetrates superficial layers (skin, subcutaneous fat, skull, etc.) and is either absorbed by chromophores (oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin and myoglobin) or scattered within the tissue. NIRS is a noninvasive and relatively low-cost optical technique that is becoming a widely used instrument for measuring tissue O2 saturation, changes in hemoglobin volume and, indirectly, brain/muscle blood flow and muscle O2 consumption. Tissue O2 saturation represents a dynamic balance between O2 supply and O2 consumption in the small vessels such as the capillary, arteriolar, and venular bed. The possibility of measuring the cortical activation in response to different stimuli, and the changes in the cortical cytochrome oxidase redox state upon O2 delivery changes, will also be mentioned.

            Monitoring brain oxygen saturation during coronary bypass surgery: a randomized, prospective study.

            Cerebral deoxygenation is associated with various adverse systemic outcomes. We hypothesized, by using the brain as an index organ, that interventions to improve cerebral oxygenation would have systemic benefits in cardiac surgical patients. Two-hundred coronary artery bypass patients were randomized to either intraoperative cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitoring with active display and treatment intervention protocol (intervention, n = 100), or underwent blinded rSO2 monitoring (control, n = 100). Predefined clinical outcomes were assessed by a blinded observer. Significantly more patients in the control group demonstrated prolonged cerebral desaturation (P = 0.014) and longer duration in the intensive care unit (P = 0.029) versus intervention patients. There was no difference in overall incidence of adverse complications, but significantly more control patients had major organ morbidity or mortality (death, ventilation >48 h, stroke, myocardial infarction, return for re-exploration) versus intervention group patients (P = 0.048). Patients experiencing major organ morbidity or mortality had lower baseline and mean rSO2, more cerebral desaturations and longer lengths of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospitalization, than patients without such complications. There was a significant (r(2) = 0.29) inverse correlation between intraoperative rSO2 and duration of postoperative hospitalization in patients requiring > or =10 days postoperative length of stay. Monitoring cerebral rSO2 in coronary artery bypass patients avoids profound cerebral desaturation and is associated with significantly fewer incidences of major organ dysfunction.

              The neuropsychological profile of vascular cognitive impairment in stroke and TIA patients.

              To characterize the neuropsychological profile of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and vascular dementia (VaD). The authors examined 170 patients with stroke or TIA at 3 to 6 months after the vascular event, and 96 age-matched healthy controls, with detailed neuropsychological and medical-psychiatric assessments, with a majority (66.7%) undergoing MRI brain scans. The subjects were diagnosed as having VaD, VCI, or no cognitive impairment by consensus. The neuropsychological tests were classified into cognitive domains, and composite z-scores adjusted for age and education. VaD subjects had disturbance in all cognitive domains, with verbal memory, especially retention, being less affected. VCI subjects had similar but less severe disturbance. The domains that best discriminated cognitively impaired from unimpaired patients were abstraction, mental flexibility, information processing speed, and working memory. Cognitive impairment had a significant correlation with deep white matter hyperintensities, but not with volume and number of infarctions, even though the VaD subjects had larger infarct volumes than VCI subjects. The MRI variables did not provide additional discrimination between subgroups. The cognitive deficits in VaD and VCI are characterized by disturbance of frontal functions, with less verbal memory impairment. VaD and VCI differ in severity but not pattern of disturbance. The brain lesions that best account for these deficits are noninfarct subcortical white matter and gray matter changes due to ischemia. The picture of VaD/VCI presented shows subcortical deficits embellished by cognitive deficits from cortical infarctions.
