NCT02773862
Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Under certain condition (such as a impaired consciousness) the intracranial pressure (ICP) is measured. An increase in the intracranial pressure might suggest secondary neurological deterioration and is considered an alarming symptom. Current practice is to insert an invasive monitor through a burr hole in the skull with the risk of bleeding and infection. Using a new type of ICP monitor (HeadSense) it is possible to measure ICP non-invasively through an acoustic signal.

The rise in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumption over the past 40 years since its introduction as a popular sweetener in the United States has led to much concern regarding its contribution to the rise in obesity (1), diabetes (2) and related cardiometabolic disorders (3).Unlike sucrose which contains equal proportions of fructose and glucose bound by an α-glycosidic bond, HFCS contains 42-55% of fructose to glucose in a free (unbound) form (4). Despite these differences in composition, both sugars possess identical energy contribution on a gram to gram basis (4). However, the higher ratio of fructose to glucose in HFCS has led to the hypothesis that HFCS may uniquely contribute to cardiometabolic risk, more so than sucrose, through proposed differences in fructose metabolism, endocrine and hedonic properties (5). We will conduct a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the role of HFCS versus sucrose under energy matched (isocaloric) conditions on cardiometabolic risk.
