An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Abstract figure legend A, schematic illustration of the ventral aspect of an ex vivo preparation of the entire CNS from a neonatal rat subjected to a calibrated thoracic impact. The trauma induced a large depolarising injury potential (DIP, black trace) recorded from the L5 ventral root (VRrL5), which was markedly reduced by transient receptor ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolite concentrations can be determined from proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) data using water as an internal reference. This calculation requires tissue‐specific water T1 and T2 relaxation constants and proton density (PD).

Advances in the Management and Surgical Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms [PDF]
Patients who have sustained a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage are victims of a very serious illness. Not only are they subject at all times to the potentially catastrophic results of a recurrent bleed, but they are faced with the manifestations of ...

ABSTRACT Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis can occur in patients without classical immunosuppression, particularly those with COPD and corticosteroid exposure. Early recognition, prompt antifungal therapy, and vigilance for neurological symptoms are essential to prevent central nervous system dissemination, which carries high mortality and significant ...

The Glymphatic System and Meningeal Lymphatics: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives
Brain waste clearance relies on the anatomical and functional integration of the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatic vessels. Cerebrospinal fluid influx into the brain parenchyma occurs along periarterial spaces, a process driven by polarized aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) water channels on astrocytic endfeet.

Insights on pathophysiology of hydrocephalus rats induced by kaolin injection
Hydrocephalus can affect brain function and motor ability. Current treatments mostly involve invasive surgeries, with a high risk of postoperative infections and failure. A successful animal model plays a significant role in developing new treatments for

Cerebral Fat Migration After Spine Surgery
A 73-year-old patient with a complex sacral fracture underwent stabilising orthopaedic surgery. Postoperative brain CT showed fat droplets in the subarachnoid space and lateral ventricle. These fat droplets migrated into the cerebrospinal fluid by a tear
