Abstract
The physiology of transient intracranial pressure (ICP) elevations (B waves), remains incompletely understood and appears to involve multiple mechanisms, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Transient ICP elevations are associated with OSA and cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) metrics, suggesting a complex interplay between sleep fragmentation and ICP dynamics. Additionally, CAP metrics could complement standard OSA assessments, providing deeper insights into transient ICP fluctuations, particularly in conditions like normal-pressure hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Future studies should explore CAP-ICP interactions to elucidate their physiological and clinical implications.
期刊介绍：
"Fluids and Barriers of the CNS" is a scholarly open access journal that specializes in the intricate world of the central nervous system's fluids and barriers, which are pivotal for the health and well-being of the human body. This journal is a peer-reviewed platform that welcomes research manuscripts exploring the full spectrum of CNS fluids and barriers, with a particular focus on their roles in both health and disease.
At the heart of this journal's interest is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a vital fluid that circulates within the brain and spinal cord, playing a multifaceted role in the normal functioning of the brain and in various neurological conditions. The journal delves into the composition, circulation, and absorption of CSF, as well as its relationship with the parenchymal interstitial fluid and the neurovascular unit at the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
