Laboratory study on "intracranial hypotension" created by pumping the chamber of a hydrocephalus shunt [0.03%]
人工产生颅内低压的实验研究——将脑室腹腔分流装置囊腔注水模拟因低颅压所致头痛患者立位CT检查中脑脊液动力学变化

Adam Bromby et al.
Background: It has been reported that pumping a shunt in situ may precipitate a proximal occlusion, and/or lead to ventricular over-drainage, particularly in the context of small ventricles. In the laboratory we measured ...
Risk factors for pressure sores in adult patients with myelomeningocele--a questionnaire-based study [0.03%]
脊柱裂成人患者压疮的危险因素-一项基于问卷的研究

Awareness of the importance of chronic adult hydrocephalus has been raised again with the recent emergence of epidemiological studies. It is estimated that between 5 and 10% of patients suffering from dementia might, in fact, have chronic h...
A reproductive history of mothers with spina bifida offspring--a new look at old issues [0.03%]
脊柱裂患儿母亲的生育史研究—再议旧话题
Thomas L Farley
Thomas L Farley
Background: Spina bifida is a disorder of the cerebrospinal fluid system associated with failure of neural tube closure in the fetus. Reproductive history studies of mothers with spina bifida offspring have often been con...
In vitro hydrodynamic properties of the Miethke ProGAV hydrocephalus shunt [0.03%]
密特克ProGAV脑积水分流器的体外水动力学性质研究
David M Allin,Zofia H Czosnyka,Marek Czosnyka et al.
David M Allin et al.
Background: Adjustable shunts are very popular in the management of hydrocephalus and are believed to help in minimizing the number of surgical revisions. The drawback with almost all constructions is that they may be acc...
Characteristic abnormalities in cerebrospinal fluid biochemistry in children with cerebral malaria compared to viral encephalitis [0.03%]
与病毒性脑炎相比，儿童 cerebral malaria 特征性的脑脊液生化异常
S R Jakka,S Veena,R M Atmakuri et al.
S R Jakka et al.
Background: In developing countries where Plasmodium falciparum malaria is endemic, viral encephalitis and cerebral malaria are found in the same population, and parasitemia with Plasmodium falciparum is common in asympto...
Gerald Silverberg,Martha Mayo,Thomas Saul et al.
Gerald Silverberg et al.
Background: Abnormalities in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and turnover, seen in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and in Alzheimer's disease (AD), may be an important cause of amyloid retention in the brain and ...
Cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase activity: a complimentary tool in the early diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis [0.03%]
脑脊液嘌呤核苷酸脱氨酶活性在早期诊断结核性脑膜炎中的作用

Rajpal S Kashyap et al.
Background: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the commonest form of neurotuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli (MTB). The diagnosis of TBM is often difficult. A reliable, cost-effective and rapid diagnos...
