A differentially expressed set of microRNAs in cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) can diagnose CNS malignancies

Central Nervous System malignancies often require stereotactic biopsy or biopsy for differential diagnosis, and for tumor staging and grading. Furthermore, stereotactic biopsy can be non-diagnostic or underestimate grading. Hence, there is a compelling need of new diagnostic biomarkers to avoid such invasive procedures. Several biological markers have been proposed, but they can only identify s...

[Cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) leaks in ear: revision of 5 cases].

CSF leaks in the ear are the result of an abnormal communication between subarachnoid and tympano mastoid areas, most of then as a result of trauma (90%). They mean a lisk of meningitis (4-50%) directly related to the etiology. Our aim is to present the CSF leak cases seen in our hospital in the last 2 years and a revision of their management. The main factor for a sucessful surgical repair is ...

The Cerebro-Spinal Fluid in Meningitis.

The Normal Cerebro-Spinal Fluid in Children.

For comparison with the findings in disease, it is necessary to determine the characteristics of the cerebro-spinal fluid in healthy infants and children. Comparatively little work has been done on this subject. In the latest work on the cerebro-spinal fliuid. The Human Cerebro-spinal Fluid, published by the Association for Research in Nervous and Mental Diseases, New York, McLean and Mcintoshl...
