Ventricular catheters are essential components in the management of hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles. These ...

External ventricular drainage (EVD) is a common procedure used in neurosurgery to manage conditions such as hydrocephalus and to monitor intracranial pressure. However, the use of EVD can lead to ...

Researchers assessed potential pathways for achieving the SDGs in China by transforming its food system, focusing on dietary changes, climate change mitigation, ecological conservation ...

The gold standard for TBM diagnosis is detecting Mtb in CSF. However, due to low bacterial load, conventional bacteriological tests show limited sensitivity (3, 4). Enhancing sensitivity remains a ...

Please see the series here. The inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME) is a pivotal area of research in hematological malignancies, given its intricate interactions with the immune system. This ...

CSF HVA has been extensively studied in relation to PD and treatment response but still has no definite place in the clinical routine. The markers already discussed have been hypothesis driven based ...

The optic nerve head separates the central nervous system and cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP ... although this effect is linked to the rise in systemic blood pressure.9 Production and drainage of ...

“It’s filling up the entire fourth ventricle and blocking the normal fluid outflow pathways ... ventricle to drain some CSF, cerebrospinal fluid, releasing the pressure in the brain. Fluid gushed out ...

The team also found that as the disease progresses, the cannabinoid system also ends up damaged ... the clinical study of this new therapeutic pathway. To this end, they are working in ...

Several studies have shown that HF is associated with increased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are low-molecular weight proteins that are released by most cell types ...

In this report, the authors propose a hypothesis based on analysis of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the spine. Methods: An electric circuit model of the CSF dynamics of the spine was constructed ...
