ALLEVIATING ABNORMAL STRESS ON COMPRESSED CRANIAL SUTURES: A POTENTIAL MECHANISM FOR TREATING AND PREVENTING DEFORMATIONAL PLAGIOCEPHALY

Alleviating abnormal stress on compressed cranial sutures: a potential mechanism for treating and preventing deformational plagiocephaly

Abstract Background Abnormal stress in cranial sutures is strongly related to deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and is responsible for morphological changes in the skull, facial asymmetry, and abnormal facial tension.To evaluate the effect of biomechanical therapy on cranial sutures of DP we performed in silico analysis of normal skull in the supine

Continuous vs intermittent Non-Invasive blood pressure MONitoring in preventing postoperative organ failure (niMON): study protocol for an open-label, multicenter randomized trial

Abstract Background Blood pressure has become one of the most important vital signs to monitor in the perioperative setting.Recently, the Italian Society of Anesthesia Analgesia Resuscitation and Intensive Walking Poles Care (SIAARTI) recommended, with low level of evidence, continuous monitoring of blood pressure during the intraoperative period.C
