Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure and various ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are a significant complication associated with the surgical placement of shunts, which are devices used to manage conditions like hydrocephalus.

Corundum Convergence Institute (CCI), a non-profit supporting cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience and systems biology, today announced it has awarded a research grant to Dr.

The Johns Hopkins Center for CSF Disorders offers a one-year fellowship in biomarkers of cerebrospinal fluid disorders. The program faculty includes a multi-specialty team of three full-time ...

BACKGROUND--Prosthetic infections are a major problem, requiring complex and lengthy management. The role of blood proteins in the pathogenesis of implant infection has been investigated, but research ...

The spinal cord is covered by Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) to protect the cord. This fluid is covered by a plastic layer called a durometer. When there is an injury, such as stabbing in Saif Ali Khan’s ...

Invasive measures include the use of F18-PET to assess glucose metabolism in the central nervous system, or require the sampling of saliva, blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), muscle tissue, and urine.

In birds, light information received directly by deep brain photoreceptors regulates PT TSH. Recent studies demonstrated that Opsin 5-positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-contacting neurons are deep ...

Hydrocephaly is a related complication in individuals with Dandy-Walker due to cysts that form in the brain's fourth ventricle and block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This blockage allows ...

The noninvasive wearable device detects bodily fluid flow beneath the surface of the skin, and Rhaeos is using it to detect hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ...
