Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease and neurotrauma are two of the leading causes of death and disability in Brazil and in the world. It has an enormous socioeconomic impact on society, as well as the patient and the patient's family. Although constant microvascular perfusion monitoring is of fundamental importance following cerebral damage, the lack of suitable instrumentation currently limits clinical interventions aiming to optimize cerebral reperfusion. The goal of this project is to build a novel and portable instrument, based on the principles of diffuse optics, that is capable of measuring cerebral perfusion, oxygenation and metabolism in real time, continuously, non-invasively, and at the patient's bedside. Diffuse optics applied to neuroscience is a multidisciplinary and novel research field in Brazil, and the implementation of a pioneering lab such as the one proposed in this project will open up a research area that, in the long term, will improve instrumentation, basic research and clinical applications. Specifically, the implementation of diffuse correlation spectroscopy, a new and innovative technique capable of measuring perfusion continuously and non-invasively, is proposed in this project. We aim to explore the technique's feasibility and high potential for use in the clinic through studies with stroke patients, a disease that affects millions of people and lacks efficient tools to improve patient outcome. In the end, we expect to demonstrate the utility of this promising research to other applications in neurology, such as in patients with traumatic brain injury and carotid stenosis. (AU)
