In 160 fetuses the width of transparent septum, lateral ventricles and IV ventricle prenatally during ultrasound examination were studied. Pregnant women divided into two groups, main group consisted pregnant in a state hypothyroidism, control included with uncomplicated pregnancy. The analysis our data showed that hypothyroid there is an expansion cavity anteroposterior size compared group.

In mid-19th century Britain the possibility of evolution and particularly the evolution of man from apes was vigorously contested. Among the leading antievolutionists was the celebrated anatomist and paleontologist Richard Owen and among the leading defenders of evolution was Thomas Henry Huxley. The central dispute between them on human evolution was whether or not man's brain was fundamentall...

One thousand normal Chinese full term neonates underwent prospective ultrasonography examination. Asymmetry of size between the right and left lateral ventricle was observed in a similar proportion of boys: 257/551 (47%) and girls: 183/449 (41%). The mode of delivery did not significantly influence the occurrence of ventricular asymmetry. We propose four different patterns of asymmetry.

background & importance: idiopathic stenosis of the foramina of magendie and luschka is a rare cause of obstructive hydrocephalus involving the fourth ventricle. case presentation: we reported the case of a 40-year-old woman who developed headaches and vertigo for several months and more recently gait disturbance. the ct scan showed quadri-ventricular hydrocephalus involving mainly the fourth v...

We present the case of an elderly male with hyperkinetic movements of the right arm and leg due to a small hemorrhage in the lateral aspect of the left lateral ventricle atrium. As per our database search, this is a unique presentation of a stroke in this particular location.

At there ambient air temperature range, the rectal temperature changes following infusion of histamine either into lateral ventricle (L.V.) or IVth ventricle (IVth V) were studied. At an ambient temperature range of 19-22 degrees C, hypothermia occurred following histamine infusion either into L.V. or IVth V. Hypothermia elicited from infusion of histamine into L.V. was prevented with pretreatm...

Routine Sonographic Measurement of the Near-Field Lateral Ventricle During Second-Trimester Morphologic Scans Keith VanHaltren, Michael Bethune, Frank Curcio, Paul Lombardo, Michal E Schneider-Kolsky Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine 2013; 32: 1587–92 As we know measuring the lateral ventricle in the far-field at the routine fetal morphology scan can be difficult because of near-field reverbera...

Previously, we have shown that pericardial constraint cannot be measured by true (hydrostatic) pressure except when an excess of pericardial fluid is present and that a device such as a balloon (which reflects radial contact stress as well as hydrostatic pressure) must be used. Since radial contact stress is the major component of the constraint exerted by the pericardium when little pericardia...

Human and ovine fetuses demonstrate an enhanced rate of swallowing, an activity critical for amniotic fluid regulation. Fetal swallowing may be modulated by both systemic and central factors. Nitric oxide (NO) is a central neuromodulator that has been localized to brain regions regulating thirst and swallowing. We sought to determine if NO contributes to the regulation of spontaneous ovine feta...

BACKGROUND Air pollution has been associated with adverse neurological and behavioral health effects in children and adults. Recent studies link air pollutant exposure to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including increased risk for autism, cognitive decline, ischemic stroke, schizophrenia, and depression. OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the mechanism(s) by which exposure to ultrafine...
