Chiari I Malformation: Review and Update of Current Treatment Options
ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of Chiari malformation type I (CM‐I) is complex, involving structural abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction that result in herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. In this study, we aim to present and evaluate current treatment options for CM‐I, with a focus on evidence‐based clinical ...

Overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus shunts [PDF]
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) in adults is an only known form of reversible dementia. Remedy is quite simple: insertion of a hydrocephalus shunt (or third ventriculostomy, however less common in NPH).

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

CSF Ascites: Review of articles and a case presentation
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ascites is a rare complication after ventriculopritoneal (VP) shunts. Most patients have gradual abdominal protrusion without any neurological sign or symptom of shunt malfunction.

Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
