Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Activate Meningeal Fibroblast to Aggravate Subarachnoid Fibrosis in Kaolin‐Induced Hydrocephalus in Rats [PDF]

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease
Background and Objectives Subarachnoid fibrosis is the key pathology of hydrocephalus, but its underlying mechanisms remains poorly understood. In the present study, we aim to verify the hypothesis that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), released by ...

Risk Factors for Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Brain Sciences
Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is the mainstay of treatment for most forms of hydrocephalus; VPS infection (VPSI) is a leading cause of shunt-related morbidity and mortality. A meta-analysis of the existing literature on risk factors for

Gait Assessment Using Three-Dimensional Acceleration of the Trunk in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Background: The subjective evaluation of pathological gait exhibits a low inter-rater reliability. Therefore, we developed a three-dimensional acceleration of the trunk during walking to assess the pathological gait quantitatively.Methods: We evaluated ...
