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]

, 2006
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.

Cognitive Processing Speed Assessment Combined With Gait Performance Improves Prediction of Shunt Surgery Responsiveness in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Overview of the study workflow illustrating baseline assessment of cognitive function and gait performance in patients with iNPH, followed by CSF tap test and post‐tap test reassessment. Functional improvement rates were calculated based on pre‐TT performance, with 24 h selected as the optimal assessment time point.

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

Intraperitoneal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst with Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, 2017
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is mostly used in the treatment of hydrocephalus and many complications have been reported with this method. Abdominal Pseudocyst (APC) are relatively uncommon but important complications in patients with VP shunts.

Delayed Occurrence of Lung Cancer Leptomeningeal Metastasis and Era‐Associated Post‐LM Survival: A 14‐Year Single‐Center Cohort Study

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 17, September 2026.
In 201 cytology‐confirmed lung cancer LM cases, the modern era was associated with later LM diagnosis but no significant unadjusted improvement in post‐LM survival. Paired tissue‐CSF profiling identified actionable driver discordance in 8.75%, supporting CSF testing and improved CNS‐penetrant, molecularly matched therapies.
