Theoretical versus pragmatic design in qualitative research [PDF]
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
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 ...

Hydrocephalus after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment
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 ...

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