Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSOFT COMPUTING APPROACH TO PREDICT INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE VALUESMario VersaciThe estimation and the prediction of the values related to the Intracranial Pression (ICP) represents an important step for the evaluation of the compliance of the human brain, above all in those cases in which the increase of the ICP values determines high risk conditions for the patient. The regular therapy is neuro-surgical but, waiting for it, it is needed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 7 Mar 2014 · 6,674 accessesView PDF Cite

HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDF Cite
