BACKGROUND Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is very important for assessing and monitoring hydrocephalus, head trauma and hypertension patients, which could lead to elevated ICP or even devastating neurological damage. The mortality rate due to these diseases could be reduced through ICP monitoring, because precautions can be taken against the brain damage. OBJECTIVE This paper presents a surface acoustic wave (SAW) pressure sensor to realize ICP monitoring, which is capable of wireless…

A SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE SENSOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYDROCEPHALUS
The hydrocephalus shunt system has a high risk of malfunction, which could lead to serious problems for patients. It is therefore important to monitor intracranial pressure (ICP). In this paper, a
Advances in ICP monitoring techniques
TLDR
A rational understanding of the applications and limitations of the different ICP monitoring devices is presented in order to make appropriate selection of them in the clinical setting including general and pediatric applications.
Clinical comparison of tympanic membrane displacement with invasive intracranial pressure measurements.
TLDR
TMD measurements do not provide a reliable non-invasive measure of ICP in patients with shunted hydrocephalus, and Vm cannot be used as a surrogate for ICP.
Optimal selection of piezoelectric substrates and crystal cuts for SAW-based pressure and temperature sensors
TLDR
The perturbation method is used to study the velocity shift of surface acoustic waves (SAW) caused by surface pressure and temperature variations of piezoelectric substrates using SAW-based pressure, temperature, and pressure/temperature sensors.
Wireless and batteryless surface acoustic wave sensors for high temperature environments
TLDR
General principle of the SAW sensor in wired and wireless configurations will be developed and a review of recent works concerning the field of high temperature applications will be presented with specific attention given to the choice of materials constituting the SA W device.
Measurement of intracranial pressure in children: a critical review of current methods
TLDR
Clinical and research‐based evidence is provided in this area where there is currently limited guidance on methods of measuring ICP in children with traumatic brain injury, shunt insertion or malfunction, arachnoid cyst, craniosynostosis, and prematurity.
Surface acoustic wave delay lines with small temperature coefficient
Surface acoustic wave delay lines having a vanishing first-order temperature coefficient of delay time near room temperature have been constructed. The devices were operated near 60 MHz and had about
SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF ELECTROSPUN CHITOSAN MEMBRANES REINFORCED BY HALLOYSITE NANOTUBES
We report on the electrospinning method to synthesize and characterise chitosan membranes reinforced by halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The synthesis process addressed two levels of HNTs concentration,
The Monro–Kellie hypothesis
TLDR
The Monro–Kellie doctrine, or hypothesis, is that the sum of volumes of brain, CSF, and intracranial blood is constant and an increase in one should cause a decrease in one or both of the remaining two.
