Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes
Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Biopsies from Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Patients as a Window to the Events of Early Alzheimer's disease: Beta‐amyloid and Tau Pathologies Alter Synaptic Transmission in Human Brain [PDF]
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD) are poorly known. This is due to the lack of human tissue samples for research representing early changes of AD pathology, raising a need for development of novel human‐based preclinical models for AD. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is an neurodegenerative

Shunting for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. [PDF]
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) occurs when the brain ventricles expand, causing a triad of gait, cognitive, and urinary impairment. It can occur after a clear brain injury such as trauma, but can also occur without a clear cause (termed idiopathic, or iNPH). Non-randomised studies have shown a benefit from surgically diverting ventricular fluid to

Open-aqueduct LOVA, LIAS, iNPH: a comparative clinical-radiological study exploring the "grey zone" between different forms of chronic adulthood hydrocephalus [PDF]
The definition of chronic adult hydrocephalus encompasses different pathological entities with overlapping characteristics, including long-standing overt ventriculomegaly in adults (LOVA), late-onset idiopathic aqueductal stenosis (LIAS) and idiopathic ...

Clinical and Radiological Evolution of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Critical Review
Abstract Background The pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) remains poorly understood. While it is commonly accepted that iNPH has an insidious onset, little is known about its preclinical and early stages and its development over time.

Charlson comorbidity index applied to shunted idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
A series of epidemiological studies have shown the limited life expectancy of patients suffering from idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). In most cases, comorbid medical conditions are the cause of death, rather than iNPH. Though it has also

Abstract This study investigated Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition affecting motor, cognitive and autonomic functions. Given the overlap between ToM‐related neural networks and those affected in iNPH, we examined whether ToM impairments are a feature of the disease ...

Decrease of excessive daytime sleepiness after shunt treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus
Summary Sleepiness and apathy are often reported in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. However, research on outcomes after shunt surgery has mainly focused on the classical triad symptoms, that is, gait, cognition, and bladder dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the effects of shunt treatment on excessive daytime sleepiness and whether ...
