Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Simple Hypothesis *

, 2013
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a devious phenomenon. It is a disease that is difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat, the only treatment being a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, though good shunting results rarely pass a 70% level of effectiveness. We

Clinical characteristics and outcomes after shunt surgery in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus with or without prior cerebrospinal fluid tap testing: a single-center follow-up study of 481 patients

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background The cerebrospinal fluid tap test (CSF TT) is a commonly used predictive test for selecting patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) for shunt surgery, but low sensitivity rate carries the risk of excluding individuals from

17 years of experience with shunt systems in normal pressure hydrocephalus - From differential pressure to gravitational valves

World Neurosurgery: X
Objective: Complication rate of shunting for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has significantly improved over the last decades. Especially the use of overdrainage protection has reduced the incidence of subdural hematoma and collections.

Decoding neurodevelopment risks of exposures to intoxication, infection, and trauma during pregnancy

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract The maternal environment plays a pivotal role in fetal neurodevelopment, but adverse conditions during pregnancy may disrupt key developmental processes. Conditions such as intoxication, infection, or trauma during pregnancy have been associated with impaired fetal oxygenation, altered immune signaling, and disrupted placental function, which ...

Novel Therapeutic Insights Into Alzheimer's Disease: Glymphatic System and Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.
The identification of the glymphatic system (GS) and meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) challenges the century‐old “immune‐privileged” dogma of the central nervous system (CNS), establishing a critical mechanistic link between impaired waste clearance (Aβ/tau) and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Doxapram Exposure Was Not Associated With Adverse Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: A Monocentric Retrospective Cohort Study

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 9, Page 1982-1990, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Doxapram is used as an additional therapy for apnea of prematurity when standard treatments such as caffeine or continuous positive airway pressure are insufficient, but its impact on long‐term neurodevelopment remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between Doxapram exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes in very low ...

Parents' experiences of diagnosis and specialist care of children's rare birthmarks

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Objectives Congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) and arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are rare, severe and incurable birthmark conditions associated with lifelong visible difference and complex medical needs. Despite the importance of early health care experiences for parental and child adjustment in general, these remain unexplored in this ...
