The Relationship between Characteristics of Cerebospinal Fluid and Tuberculous Meningitis detected using Real Time PCR

Sains Medika, 2016
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) carries a high morbidity and mortality, however, its diagnosis can be difficult due to low concentration of bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Abdominal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocysts in Children: A Complication of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2015
Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst is a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. It is characterized by collection of cerebrospinal fluid in the peritoneal cavity, containing the distal end of the VP shunt catheter and is ...

CSF lactate dehydrogenase activity in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease exceeds that in other dementias [PDF]

, 2004
The diagnosis of Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) is still made by exclusion of other dementias. We now evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a possible additional diagnostic tool. CSF LDH levels of patients with CJD (

The chaperone protein clusterin may serve as a cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for chronic spinal cord disorders in the dog [PDF]

, 2014
Chronic spinal cord dysfunction occurs in dogs as a consequence of diverse aetiologies, including long-standing spinal cord compression and insidious neurodegenerative conditions. One such neurodegenerative condition is canine degenerative myelopathy (DM)

Antibodies to Enteroviruses in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients with Acute Flaccid Myelitis. [PDF]

, 2019
Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has caused motor paralysis in >560 children in the United States since 2014. The temporal association of enterovirus (EV) outbreaks with increases in AFM cases and reports of fever, respiratory, or gastrointestinal illness

Prognostic Impact of Treatment Modalities, Including Targeted Compartmental Radio‐Immunotherapy, in a Cohort of Neuroblastoma Patients With CNS Metastases at Relapse

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroblastoma (NB) with central nervous system (CNS) metastases is rare at diagnosis, but occurs more often during relapse/progression. Patients with CNS metastases face a dismal prognosis, with no standardized curative treatment available.

The recent research progress in neurobiological characteristics and pain regulation of the cerebrospinal fluid-contacting nucleus

Anesthesiology and Perioperative Science
The ependymal epithelium forms the cerebrospinal fluid barrier, separating the brain and spinal cord from the cerebrospinal fluid. However, in specific regions of the central nervous system, there are neurons that directly interface with the ...
