The Solani Aqueduct is 175 years old heritage structure in Roorkee, India. exterior surface of the deteriorated due to fungal infestation. Fungi can spoil valuable sites aesthetically, mechanically and chemically. Five fungi namely: Curvularia pallescens, Fusarium equiseti, Talaromyces purpureogenus, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata were isolated identified from Aqueduct. Essential oils ...

Although the textbook view of Pendred syndrome is that of an autosomal recessive condition characterized by deafness and goitre, it is increasingly clear that not all such patients present this classical clinical picture. Malformations of the inner ear, specifically enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct, are common in Pendred syndrome and mutations in the PDS (Pendred Syndrome) gene have been ...

Three patients with hydrocephalus and aqueduct stenosis are described, who also have schizophrenia defined according to strict diagnostic criteria. There are no previous reports of such an association.

Previously, we reported that low-dose leptin infusions into the fourth ventricle produced a small but significant increase in body fat. These data contrast with reports that injections of higher doses of leptin into the fourth ventricle inhibit food intake and weight gain. In this study, we tested whether exogenous leptin in the fourth ventricle opposed or contributed to weight loss caused by t...

Stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius accounts for about one third of cases of congenital hydrocephalus. At least 32 families have been reported in which the aqueduct stenosis is inherited in an X linked fashion. In half of these families, flexed adducted thumbs were noted in some affected family members. Occasionally other male members were mentally retarded, suggesting limited expression of the...

In this paper, we present findings from a field inspection of the Knossos aqueduct undertaken in 2019. A key contribution our fieldwork was architectural identification Roman channel underlying nineteenth-century wall Ottoman-Egyptian supplying Iraklio. While reuse nineteenth century known historical reports, structural overlap has never been identified or documented archaeologically, until now...

A 23-year-old man initially presented with the Sylvian aqueduct syndrome and subsequently developed cutaneous neurofibromata. The case is reported and the possibility that these represent manifestations of the same genetic abnormality is discussed.

In this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. Using MRI images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. CSF velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., ICP, which has a...

The filling patterns of a negative contrast material (air), a positive contrast water soluble material (Conray), and a positive contrast water insoluble material (Myodil) were examined in 60 normal ventriculograms. Using a scoring system developed for this study, Conray was found effective for outlining the ipsilateral (injected) lateral ventricle, the third ventricle, the aqueduct of Sylvius, ...
