Summary: In this non-invasive study, the estimation of central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) using the DCBP formula was compared with the estimation using radial tonometry. The results showed a linear relationship between cSBP estimated by DCBP and cSBP estimated by radial tonometry, and the DCBP method exhibited good sensitivity and specificity in discriminating high blood pressure threshold.

Summary: This study investigated the hemodynamic variations associated with the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in healthy subjects. The results showed that low levels of PEEP prolong diastolic phase and reduce systolic work of the heart.

Summary: The study found that in patients with shock, both oscillometric blood pressure monitoring devices were successful in completing hemodynamic assessments, but there were significant differences between invasive and non-invasive techniques. There were discrepancies in pulse wave velocity measurements between the two devices. Non-invasive peripheral blood pressure measurement may not always be successful in certain circumstances.

Summary: This study evaluated the agreement between invasively and non-invasively obtained aoSBP and aoPP values using different recording techniques, sites, waveform analysis algorithms, and calibration schemes. Overall, non-invasive methods yielded lower aoSBP and aoPP levels compared to invasive methods. CCA recordings provided values closest to invasive recordings, followed by BA recordings. The 033HR and 0412 calibration schemes showed the lowest mean error, while the 033 method had the highest error. Most non-invasive methods overestimated and underestimated aoSBP at low and high invasive aoSBP values, respectively. The higher the invasively measured aoPP, the greater the underestimation by non-invasive methods. Therefore, the recording method and site, the mathematical method/model used to quantify aoSBP and aoPP, and the calibration method for waveforms are essential for accurate estimation of aoBP. This study highlights the importance of methodological transparency and consensus for non-invasive aoBP assessment.

Summary: This study investigated the association between long-term glycemic variability and arterial stiffness in patients with type 1 diabetes. The results showed that the variability of HbA1c was significantly correlated with arterial stiffness. Importantly, this association was independent of the HbA1c mean.

Summary: The accuracy of four handheld tonometers in measuring IOP using different methodologies in healthy horses was compared and evaluated. There was a strong correlation between the IOP values obtained using different tonometers and manometry. It is important to use the same tonometer over time and acknowledge the bias of the tonometer used.

Summary: The study compared the intraocular pressure measurements using Tono-Pen and Goldmann applanation tonometry in healthy adults and found that there was a minimal difference between the two methods, suggesting that they can be used interchangeably in clinical practice.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the impact of self-tonometry on clinicians' decision in glaucoma treatment. The results suggested that self-tonometry provides clinicians with important information for clinical decision-making and supports an intensification of glaucoma treatment, thereby avoiding under- or over-treatment for the benefit of patients.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of topical anesthetic and fluorescein drops on intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, and biomechanical properties in healthy eyes. The study found that the administration of drops resulted in significant differences in intraocular pressure, but these differences were not clinically relevant. Central corneal thickness increased significantly after drop administration, while biomechanical properties remained unaffected.

Summary: This retrospective study on 112 eyes from 56 patients who underwent photorefractive keratectomy found that the change in intraocular pressure after surgery was not clinically significant, and there was no correlation between postoperative central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure.

Summary: This study compared intraocular pressure (IOP) values measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry (IOPGAT) and non-contact tonometry (IOPNCT) in a non-pathologic high myopia population. The results showed that IOPNCT overestimated IOPGAT, and the difference between the two measurements was influenced by factors such as body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and central corneal thickness.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy, precision, and clinical applicability of the ICare (R) TONOVET Plus (TVP) in cats. The results showed a strong correlation between TVP values and TV01 values, and the TP significantly underestimated IOP at high levels. It was also found that the TVP and TV01 readings were interchangeable between models and observers, but subtle differences may be important in a research context.

Summary: Systolic blood pressure amplification (SBPA) and pulse pressure amplification (PPA) can predict cardiovascular damage and mortality. There are various non-invasive methods to estimate SBPA and PPA, but the most accurate method is still unknown. This study evaluated the agreement between invasively and non-invasively obtained SBPA and PPA values using different measurement sites, techniques, analysis approaches, and calibration methods.

Summary: This study developed a bench model for capsular contracture and measured the surface area of implants to evaluate the degree of contracture. The results showed that the decrease in surface area was correlated with the degree of contracture, and anatomically shaped implants had consistent surface area changes at different heights.
