Correlations of Ventricular Enlargement with Rheologically Active Surfactant Proteins in Cerebrospinal Fluid
Purpose: Surfactant proteins (SPs) are involved in the regulation of rheological properties of body fluids. Concentrations of SPs are altered in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of hydrocephalus patients. The common hallmark of hydrocephalus is enlargement of the brain ventricles. The relationship of both phenomena has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associatio...
متن کاملEmbryonic brain enlargement requires cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
The brain of the chick embryo begins to enlarge abruptly on the second day of incubation. Shortly thereafter, major flexures and torsions of the brain occur, and many bulges and furrows appear. The onset of enlargement coincides with closure of the spinal canal which makes the neural tube a closed compartment filled with cerebrospinal fluid. We propose that cerebrospinal fluid pressure is a nec...

Oestradiol-178 is the most active oestrogen in premenopausal women. Assays for oestradiol are of value in the investigation of normal and abnormal ovarian function. Rapid oestradiol measurements are effective in monitoring ovulation induction in the treatment of female infertility, and sensitive assays facilitate the detection of lower oestradiol concentrations found in men and postmenopausal w...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Indices in Children with Febrile Convulsion
Background and Objective: Febrile convulsions (FC) are the most common seizure disorders in children. Lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with FC who is suspected to intracranial infections. This study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, protein and glucose levels in cerebrospinal fluids (CFS) of children that were hospitalized with FC. Methods: In this ...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid eosinophilia in children with ventricular shunts.
OBJECT Eosinophils have been reported in children with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts. The goal of this study was to describe the risk factors, relationship to infection, and clinical significance of CSF eosinophilia in a large group of shunt-treated patients. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective review of data obtained in all patients who underwent ventricular shunt placement or r...
