A Physical Framework for Testing and Evaluating of a Mechatronic Shunting System [PDF]
International Journal Bioautomation, 2023 Shunt is a flexible tube called a catheter implanted inside the brain where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced. Existing treatments rely on passive implantable shunts with differential pressure valves.

Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly: What do we tell the prospective parents?
Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 42, Issue 13, Page 1674-1681, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Fetal cerebral ventriculomegaly is a relatively common finding, observed during approximately 1% of obstetric ultrasounds. In the second and third trimester, mild (≥10 mm) and severe ventriculomegaly (≥15 mm) are defined according to the measurement of distal lateral ventricles that is included in the routine sonographic examination of central

Fluids and flows in brain cancer and neurological disorders
WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023 The different roles of fluids and flow in brain cancer (left) and Alzheimer's disease (right) into and out of the brain and within the interstitial spaces (insets). Abstract Interstitial fluid (IF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are an integral part of the brain, serving to cushion and protect the brain parenchymal cells against damage and aid in their ...

Clinical and haemodynamic characteristics of preterm infants with early onset sepsis
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 2267-2272, December 2022., 2022 Aim Early onset sepsis (EOS) in preterm infants is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Improved characterisation of the haemodynamic presentation of EOS could lead to more effective and targeted treatments. Methods We performed a retrospective observational study of preterm infants ≤32 week' gestation with EOS between 2010 and 2020 and ...

Abdominal Cerebrospinal Fluid Pseudocyst Diagnosed with Point-of-care Ultrasound
Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2019 Abdominal pseudocysts are rare complications of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts characterized by accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid surrounded by fibrous layers in the intra-abdominal cavity or abdominal wall.

A Clinical Feasibility Study of Spinal Evoked Compound Action Potential Estimation Methods
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recently, SCS has been enhanced further with evoked compound action potential (ECAP) sensing. Characteristics of the ECAP, if appropriately isolated from concurrent stimulation artifact (SA), may be used to control, and aid in the programming of, SCS systems.

Ventricule-shunt abdominal complications
Revista de Medicina da UFC, 2017 The ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a solution to relieving symptoms of excess cerebral-ventricle cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); draining this extra fluid to the peritoneum. Other forms of shunts exist though less used in relation to VPS; whose choice is

Worsening respiratory failure in an adult hydrocephalic patient with a ventriculo‐pleural shunt
Respirology Case Reports, 2020 Ventriculo‐pleural (VPL) shunt insertion is performed in hydrocephalic patients when alternative sites of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion are contraindicated.

A model for the oscillatory flow in the cerebral aqueduct [PDF]
J. Fluid Mech. vol. 899, R1, 1-12 (2020), 2022 This paper addresses the pulsating motion of cerebrospinal fluid in the aqueduct of Sylvius, a slender canal connecting the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. Specific attention is given to the relation between the instantaneous values of the flow rate and the interventricular pressure difference, needed in clinical applications to enable ...
