White matter susceptibility to blood pressure!

Acta Paediatrica latest issue has one interesting article.

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123415876/abstract
Gestational age was 26–32 weeks. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide was between 4.7 and 8.5 kPa and mean arterial blood pressure between 22 and 55 mmHg.
a plateau over a certain blood pressure threshold and a positive slope below this threshold, the relation to white matter flow percentage was statistically significant (p = 0.02). The threshold was 29 mmHg (95% confidence limits 26–33).
