Automatic Segmentation of Infant Brain Ventricles with Hydrocephalus in MRI Based on 2.5D U-Net and Transfer Learning

, 2020
The goal of our study is to segment and quantify brain ventricles in infants with hydrocephalus. The Hydrocephalus is a brain disease in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the ventricles, which expand abnormally.

Hereditary hydrocephalus internus in a laboratory strain of golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)

Animal, 2008
Golden hamsters of one common laboratory strain had a high incidence of hydrocephalus internus. When a severity score of hydrocephalus was used, a major autosomal recessive locus could be identified.

Aquaporin-4 and brain edema. [PDF]

, 2007
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-channel protein expressed strongly in the brain, predominantly in astrocyte foot processes at the borders between the brain parenchyma and major fluid compartments, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood.

Levels of selected pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with hydrocephalus

Folia Neuropathologica, 2017
Cytokines are widely known mediators of inflammation accompanying many neurodegenerative disorders including normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). NPH is caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption and treated by surgical shunt insertion.
