Overdrainage of cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus shunts [PDF]
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2017 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).

PM&R, EarlyView.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 ...

CSF Ascites: Review of articles and a case presentation
Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2005 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.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.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.

Endoscopic treatment of cerebrospinal fluid pathway obstructions
, 2007 This article describes our endoscopic techniques developed for the treatment of various obstructions of cerebrospinal fluid pathways. Blocked cerebrospinal fluid pathways result in ventricular dilation in front of the obstruction, which may cause acute ...
