GC/MS-based metabolomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from glioma patients
Metabolomics has recently undergone rapid development; however, metabolomic analysis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is not a common practice. We analyzed the metabolite profiles of preoperative CSF samples from 32 patients with histologically confirmed ...

Spectrophotometry for cerebrospinal fluid pigment analysis [PDF]
The use of spectrophotometry for the analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is reviewed. The clinically relevant CSF pigments--oxyhemoglobin and bilirubin--are introduced and discussed with regard to clinical differential diagnosis and potentially ...

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

Analytical performance and clinical utility of the INNOTEST (R) PHOSPHO-TAU(181P) assay for discrimination between Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies [PDF]
Background: Total tau (T-tau) and beta-amyloid((1-42)) (A beta(1-42)) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can differentiate Alzheimer's disease (AD) from normal aging or depressive pseudo-dementia.

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

Parenchymal border macrophages regulate the flow dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid
Macrophages are important players in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis 1 . Perivascular and leptomeningeal macrophages reside near the central nervous system (CNS) parenchyma 2 , and their role in CNS physiology has not been sufficiently well studied.

CSF protein biomarkers predicting longitudinal reduction of CSF β-amyloid42 in cognitively healthy elders. [PDF]
β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque accumulation is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is believed to start many years prior to symptoms and is reflected by reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the peptide Aβ1-42 (Aβ42).
