Theoretical versus pragmatic design in qualitative research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
For many years, discussions of the relative merits of generic and theoretical approaches to qualitative research have divided researchers while overshadowing the need to focus on addressing clinical questions.

Nonsense mutation in CFAP43 causes normal-pressure hydrocephalus with ciliary abnormalities

open access: yesNeurology, 2019
Objective To identify genes related to normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) in one Japanese family with several members with NPH. Methods We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a Japanese family with multiple individuals with NPH and identified a ...

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

open access: yesFolia 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.

Hydrocephalus after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2017
Hydrocephalus (HCP) is a common complication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this review, we summarize the advanced research on HCP and discuss the understanding of the molecular originators of HCP and the development of diagnoses and ...

Complex hydrocephalus (combination of communicating and obstructive type): an important cause of failed endoscopic third ventriculostomy

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2009
Background Hydrocephalus can be classified as purely obstructive, purely communicating or due to combinations of pathologies (obstruction in addition to defective absorption).

Predictors and outcomes of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in patients with aneurysmal sub-arachnoid hemorrhage

open access: yesBMC Surgery, 2012
Background Hydrocephalus following spontaneous aneurysmal sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is often associated with unfavorable outcome. This study aimed to determine the potential risk factors and outcomes of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in aneurysmal ...

Hydrocephalus with lateral ventricular lesions: case series and review of literature

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2021
Background Lateral ventricular lesions associated with hydrocephalus are considered a challenge to neurosurgeons. Hydrocephalus after surgery of such lesions and its pathogenesis and how to deal with it is a big question facing neurosurgeons.

Automated Ventricle Parcellation and Evan's Ratio Computation in Pre- and Post-Surgical Ventriculomegaly [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Normal pressure hydrocephalus~(NPH) is a brain disorder associated with enlarged ventricles and multiple cognitive and motor symptoms. The degree of ventricular enlargement can be measured using magnetic resonance images~(MRIs) and characterized quantitatively using the Evan's ratio (ER).

Automatic Segmentation and Location Learning of Neonatal Cerebral Ventricles in 3D Ultrasound Data Combining CNN and CPPN [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Preterm neonates are highly likely to suffer from ventriculomegaly, a dilation of the Cerebral Ventricular System (CVS). This condition can develop into life-threatening hydrocephalus and is correlated with future neuro-developmental impairments. Consequently, it must be detected and monitored by physicians.

Risk factors for shunt malfunction in pediatric hydrocephalus: a multicenter prospective cohort study.

open access: yesJournal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2016
OBJECT The rate of CSF shunt failure remains unacceptably high. The Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) conducted a comprehensive prospective observational study of hydrocephalus management, the aim of which was to isolate specific risk ...
