Background and Aim: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the most commonly used procedure for treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is a rare complication but potentially fatal. The pathogenesis of this complication remains unclear. This complication should be considered during differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass. Our aim is to report how large ...

Background and Purpose: Poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage still has a poor prognosis. This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated intracisternal magnesium sulfate infusion combined with intravenous hydrogen therapy in patients poor-grade hemorrhage. Methods: Thirty-seven were to Mg+H 2 , Mg, control groups. Mg groups received (2.5 mmol/L) at 20 mL/h for 14 days. group also hydrogen-ric...

background : meningitis is more common during the neonatal period than other periods of life and has a prevalence of one in 1000 live births. the similarity of its clinical manifestations with other infectious diseases makes it difficult to diagnose. the aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory test results of newbor...

Acute osmolar loading of cerebrospinal fluid within one lateral ventricle of dogs was examined as a cause of water extraction from the bloodstream and an increase in intracranial pressure. We have shown that a certain amount of (3)H₂O from the bloodstream enters osmotically loaded cerebrospinal fluid significantly faster, hence causing a significant increase in intracranial pressure. The noted ...

1. Larvae of Aedes campestris can survive in water containing up to 100 Mg even though they ingest and absorb into the haemolymph considerable amounts of magnesium-rich fluid. 2. Isolated Malpighian tubules, unlike those of Rhodnius and Carausius secreted fluid containing elevated concentrations of magnesium. This transport displayed saturation kinetics, the half-maximal rate being at approxima...

Previous studies show that chronic acrylamide exposure leads to central and peripheral neu-ropathy. However, the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, we examined the permeability of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, and its ability to secrete transthyretin and transport leptin of rats exposed to acrylamide for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Transthyretin levels in cerebrospinal fl...
