Patanjali's Yoga Sutra outlines the classical yoga philosophy and practice. It defines yoga as the cessation of mind fluctuations through disciplined practice and detachment. The text describes the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga - yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi - which when practiced lead to stillness of body and mind, control of senses, one-pointed concentration, absorption and ultimately liberation of the true self from identification with mind and body. The goal of yoga is to realize the seer's true nature by disentangling consciousness from matter through yoga's transformative practices.

Non-Invasive ICP Monitoring for NeurosurgeonsDhaval Shukla

��

This presentation delves into the latest advancements in non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring techniques, specifically tailored for neurosurgeons. It covers the importance of ICP monitoring in clinical practice, explores various non-invasive methods, and discusses their accuracy, reliability, and clinical applications. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of non-invasive approaches over traditional invasive methods, including reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive overview is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of neurosurgeons in managing patients with neurological conditions. Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this presentation is to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
