A novel ventriculoperitoneal shunt flow sensor based on electrically induced spatial variation in cerebrospinal fluid charge density

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Introduction: Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts divert cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) out of cerebral ventricles in patients with hydrocephalus or elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Despite high failure rates, there exist limited clinically viable solutions

Glandular drainage of cerebral ventricles

Kazan medical journal, 1927
The author considers autodrainage of cerebral ventricles to be the best method of surgical treatment of cerebral dropsy. The gland, in the author's opinion, is the most reliable and correct material for such drainage, the material providing permanent, good ventricular emptying.

Homozygous Achondroplasia With Long‐Term Survival: Growth Patterns, Medical Interventions, and Practice Implications

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Homozygous achondroplasia is widely considered perinatal lethal by the medical community. In this case series, we report two children from a single family with longer‐term survival. One child lived for 17 months and the other was 60 months at the time of publication.

Neuroacanthocytosis in Two Brothers: An Ultra-rare Cause of Movement Disorder

Caspian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 2016
We report a rare genetic disorder case of neuroacanthocytosis with clinical profile (oro-lingual-facial abnormal involuntary movements, neuropathy) and typical magnetic resonance findings (cerebral atrophy, bilateral caudate nuclei atrophy with dilated ...

Finite Element Analysis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Influence of CSF Content and Anisotropy in Permeability

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2010
Hydrocephalus is a cerebral disease where brain ventricles enlarge and compress the brain parenchyma towards the skull leading to symptoms like dementia, walking disorder and incontinence. The origin of normal pressure hydrocephalus is still obscure.

Comparative virology and pathology of Monkeypox virus in Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6, and BALB/c mice: A framework for preclinical model selection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection in three small animal models: Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6 mice, and BALB/c mice. Following intraperitoneal inoculation, Syrian hamsters exhibited the highest susceptibility, with rapid systemic viral dissemination, elevated splenic and renal viral burdens, and severe histopathological damage, followed ...

Optimization and verification of high‐fat diet formulation for establishing a rat model of obesity‐related precocious puberty

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We identified 45% HFD as the optimal formulation to establish a juvenile rat model of obesity‐related precocious puberty. It elicits robust phenotypic (early vaginal opening, obesity), histological (advanced ovarian development), and endocrine (elevated HPG axis hormones) alterations, with leptin‐mediated GnRH secretion as a core mechanistic driver ...

Unilateral congenital hydrocephalus due to obstruction of the foramen of Monro

Revista Electrónica Dr. Zoilo E. Marinello Vidaurreta, 2018
Unilateral hydrocephalus is an infrequent malformation that is produced by occlusion of one of the foramens of Monro. The symptomatology is not very florid and the neuroendoscopic treatment is the gold standard to be used. This study presents the case of

Chinese expert consensus on the management of hydraulic-coupled intracranial pressure monitoring via external ventricular drainage

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring serves as a critical component in the management of neurocritical care patients. Hydraulic-coupled intracranial pressure monitoring via external ventricular drainage (EVD-ICP) monitoring offers a clinically ...
