Investigation of the hydrodynamic properties of a new MRI-resistant programmable hydrocephalus shunt

Cerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2008
Background The Polaris valve is a newly released hydrocephalus shunt that is designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain ventricles or lumbar CSF space.

Lumbar-peritoneal shunt for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2022
Objectives: Normal-pressure hydrocephalus is a clinical syndrome consisting of dilated cerebral ventricles with the clinical triad of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and/or urinary dysfunction. Lumbar-peritoneal (LP) shunt could improve idiopathic

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Communicating hydrocephalus due to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular disease with variable presentation. CVT rarely causes hydrocephalus. Communicating hydrocephalus due to CVT is extremely rare.

Non-invasive assessment of pulsatile intracranial pressure with phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Invasive monitoring of pulsatile intracranial pressure can accurately predict shunt response in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, but may potentially cause complications such as bleeding and infection.

Safety and function of programmable ventriculo-peritoneal shunt valves: An in vitro 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging study.

PLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectiveThe quantity of ultra-high field MRI neuroimaging studies has rapidly increased. This study tests function, safety, and image artifacts of two frequently implanted programmable ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt valves in a 7T MRI system ...

Treatment of Posttubercular Syringomyelia Not Responsive to Antitubercular Therapy: Case Report and Review of Literature

Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports, 2017
Posttubercular adhesive arachnoiditis is a rare, late complication of tubercular meningitis. Syringomyelia can develop as a consequence of intramedullary cystic lesions and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow disturbance around the spinal cord, even after ...

Optociliary Shunt Vessel: An Ancillary Ophthalmic Sign Harbingering Optic Nerve Sheath Meningioma

Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, 2019
A 61-year-old male presented with gradual loss of vision in his right eye for one year at neuro ophthalmology clinic. On clinical examination, his visual acuity was perception of light and intraocular pressure was 12 mm of Hg in right eye.

Assessment of superior cavo-pulmonary anastomoses (Glenn shunt) by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in comparison with multi-slice computed tomography

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2021
Background Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography is the gold standard imaging modality to evaluate the patency of Glenn shunt and the presence of veno–veno collaterals.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Guided Transcatheter Cavopulmonary Shunt

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2016
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would enable closed-chest percutaneous cavopulmonary anastomosis and shunt by facilitating needle guidance along a curvilinear trajectory, around critical structures, and between a superior vena cava "donor" vessel and a pulmonary artery "target."Children ...
