Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative continuous monitoring of electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG), cerebral blood flow, and cerebral tissue oxygen using PowerLab LabChart 8.0. Channel 1(top channel): ECG; Channel 2: EEG of right cerebral hemisphere: Electrical activity in EEG leads may not restore after reperfusion due to neuronal damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, and blood-brain barrier disruption, with studies – showing persistent disturbances in brain activity post-reperfusion. 3: EEG of left cerebral hemisphere; Channel 4: Cerebral blood flow of right cerebral hemisphere; Channel 5: Cerebral blood flow of left cerebral hemisphere; Channel 6 (bottom channel): Cerebral tissue oxygen of right cerebral hemisphere. Channel numbering is from the top (Channel 1) to the bottom (channel 6). The amplitude of EEG (channel 2) and blood flow (channel 4) in the right cerebral hemisphere significantly decreased after right cerebral middle artery occlusion (black arrows).

Figure Lengend Snippet: ROC curves of LDF-Plantar-Qb for PAD (adjusted for C-reactive protein, creatinine, total cholesterol). Sensitivity, 0.88; specificity, 0.78; cut-off, 20.0 mL/min using Youden’s index method (Additional file : Table S4). PAD(−). without peripheral arterial disease; PAD(+) with peripheral arterial disease; SPP, skin perfusion pressure; LDF, Laser Doppler flowmetry; LDF-Dorsal-Qb, LDF blood flow rate in the dorsal area of the foot; LDF-Plantar-Qb, LDF blood flow rate in the plantar area of the foot; LDF-Qb, LDF blood flow rate; SPP-Dorsal Area, skin perfusion pressure in the dorsal area of the foot; ROC, receiver-operating characteristic
