CSF concentration gradients of monoamine metabolites in patients with hydrocephalus.
Concentration gradients of homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), were assessed in 762 successive CSF fractions (2 ml lumbar CSF) from 15 patients with the adult hydrocephalus syndrome (AHS) and 11 patients with hydrocephalus of other causes (mixed group). A mean volume of 49.6 (SD 11.8) ml CSF was removed in the AHS group and 5...
متن کاملProtein adsorption to hydrocephalus shunt catheters: CSF protein adsorption.
OBJECTIVE To assess the quantity and nature of the proteins that adsorb to hydrocephalus shunt catheters after implantation, and to determine whether sufficient could accumulate to obstruct the catheter. DESIGN Elution of proteins from 102 explanted shunt catheters, with protein assay and electrophoresis of the eluate, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the catheters. RESULTS The amo...
متن کاملQuantification of Fas protein in CSF of patients with neurocysticercosis.
UNLABELLED Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic disease that affects the central nervous system. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between neuronal death evaluated by the quantification of Fas apoptotic factor and the different evolutive forms of neurocysticercosis accompanied or not by epileptic seizures. METHODS Cerebrospinal fluid samples from 36 patients with a d...
متن کاملChanges in aqueductal CSF stroke volume in shunted patients with idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aqueductal CSF stroke volume (ACSV) measured by phase-contrast MR imaging is a tool for selection of surgical patients with idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between clinical outcome and changes in ACSV in patients with iNPH who have been shunted. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-f...
متن کاملPulsatility in CSF dynamics: pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND It is suggested that disturbed CSF dynamics are involved in the pathophysiology of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). The pulsatility curve describes the relationship between intracranial pressure (ICP) and the amplitude of cardiac related ICP pulsations. The position of baseline ICP on the curve provides information about the physiological state of the CSF dynamic syst...
