Insulin-like growth factors and related proteins in plasma and cerebrospinal fluids of HIV-positive individuals. [PDF]
BackgroundClinically significant dysregulation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family proteins occurs in HIV-infected individuals, but the details including whether the deficiencies in IGFs contribute to CNS dysfunction are unknown.MethodsWe ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein Changes in Preeclampsia [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms underlying seizure susceptibility in preeclampsia are unknown. We hypothesized that altered expression of distinct proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may reflect pathophysiological changes in the central nervous system that contribute to the neurological manifestations of severe preeclampsia. We obtained CSF

Mixture of regressions with multivariate responses for discovering subtypes in Alzheimer's biomarkers with detection limits [PDF]
There is no gold standard for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), except from autopsies. Unsupervised learning can provide insight into the pathophysiology of AD. A mixture of regressions can simultaneously identify clusters from multiple biomarkers while accounting for within-cluster demographic effects. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for

Cerebrospinal fluid levels of extracellular heat shock protein 72: A potential biomarker for bacterial meningitis in children [PDF]
Extracellular heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) is an endogenous danger signal and potential biomarker for critical illness in children. We hypothesized that elevated levels of extracellular Hsp72 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with suspected ...

Directional flow in perivascular networks: Mixed finite elements for reduced-dimensional models on graphs [PDF]
The flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the perivascular spaces of the brain is believed to play a crucial role in eliminating toxic waste proteins. While the driving forces of this flow have been enigmatic, experiments have shown that arterial wall motion is central.

Kinetics-like equation for cerebrospinal fluid-blood diffusion models
Introduction: The diffusion of proteins from the blood to the cerebrospinal fluid is influenced by its molecular weight and by the intrinsic properties and biological properties of the protein. Objective: Determinate the diffusion of new proteins as they

Follow-up investigations of tau protein and S-100B levels in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Background: S-100B and tau protein have a high differential diagnostic potential for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). So far there has been only limited information available about the dynamics of these parameters in the cerebrospinal ...
