Brain Slump Caused by Jugular Venous Stenoses Treated by Stenting: A Hypothesis to Link Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

open access: yesJournal of Neurological Surgery Reports, 2015
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension, of which brain slump is an extreme expression, is caused by a cerebrospinal fluid leak. The reason the leak develops in the first place, however, is unknown, and some cases can be very difficult to manage.

Chronic hyponatremia in a patient with renal salt wasting and without cerebral disease: relationship between RSW, risk of fractures and cognitive impairment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Renal salt wasting syndrome (RSW) is defined as a renal loss of sodium leading to hyponatremia and a decrease in extracellular fluid volume (ECV). Differentiation of this disorder from the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH),

Abstract Radiation‐induced hemorrhagic cystitis (RHC) is a severe complication of pelvic radiotherapy, often used to treat various pelvic malignancies. Despite multiple therapeutic options, including conservative and invasive interventions, the optimal management remains uncertain. We report the case of a 76‐year‐old male with pulmonary emphysema and a
