SCO-ping out the mechanisms underlying the etiology of hydrocephalus.
The heterogeneous nature of congenital hydrocephalus has hampered our understanding of the molecular basis of this common clinical problem. However, disease gene identification and characterization of multiple transgenic mouse models has highlighted the importance of the subcommissural organ (SCO) and the ventricular ependymal (vel) cells. Here, we review how altered development and function of...
متن کاملLoss of Developmental Factors Impairs SCO Formation and Function
lifeline for supplying the brain with essential nutrients and growth factors throughout development and into adulthood. At the same time, the brain exercises constant control to ensure that the flow of CSF is homeostatic. CSF is secreted by the choroid plexus and moves rostrocaudally through the ventricles and into the subarachnoid space before being drained into the venous circulation (80). Fa...
متن کاملNeuropeptide signaling and hydrocephalus: SCO with the flow.
Congenital hydrocephalus affects 0.1-0.3% of live births, with a high mortality rate (approximately 50%) in the absence of surgical intervention. Although the insertion of shunts alleviates the symptoms of the majority of congenital cases, the molecular basis of hydrocephalus and the mechanisms of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation remain largely unknown. Two important players are the subcom...
متن کاملA Case and Literature Review of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Normal Pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that has never been reported to cause NPH. Our patient was a 67-year man with a one-year history of gradual worsening gait and balance, urinary urgency with urge incontinence and decreased short-term memory. P...
متن کاملAssessing Practitioners’ and Patients’ Needs Regarding Shared Decision-Making and Decision Aids
Background: As part of the process of developing a decision aid for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) according to the Ottawa Decision Support Framework, we were interested in the level of ‘decisional conflict’ of hand surgeons and patients with CTS. This study addresses the null hypothesis that there is no difference between surgeon and patient decisional conflict with respect to test and tr...
