Spinal Puncture and Cerebrospinal Fluid Examination
C fluid (CSF) examination is performed in the emergency department (ED) to obtain information relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of specific disease entities. Many urgent and life-threatening conditions require immediate and accurate knowledge of the nature of the CSF. However, on rare occasions, certain harmful consequences may result from a spinal puncture. Perform a careful neurologic e...
متن کاملMicro devices for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system
This paper reports a novel cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system for the hydrocephalus patients. The CSF shunt system consists of a micro telemetry pressure sensor, an electromagnetic micropump and a controller. The pressure sensor has a flexible p+ diaphragm and a planar copper coil that construct an LC resonant circuit. The cerebrospinal pressure is measured from the phase shift at the reson...
متن کاملClinical and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile and CSF criteria for the diagnosis of spinal cord schistosomiasis.
OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical and CSF findings among patients with presumptive neuroschistosomiasis (NS) and to suggest a classification for the CSF diagnosis of presumptive NS. METHOD The charts of all patients whose CSF exam was performed at the CSF Lab, Jos Silveira Foundation, Salvador, Brazil, from 1988 to 2002 were reviewed. Those with clinically suspected NS whose indirect fluor...
متن کاملAssociation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Insulin with Cognitive Performance and CSF Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease
BACKGROUND Abnormal insulin signaling in the brain has been linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) insulin levels are associated with cognitive performance and CSF amyloid-β and Tau. Additionally, we explore whether any such association differs by sex or APOE ɛ4 genotype. METHODS From 258 individuals participating in the Parelsnoer Instit...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Cytology in Metastatic Tumors: An Analysis of Consecutive CSF Samples
BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination can be used to verify the presence of primary malignancies as well as cases of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Because of its importance, there have been several studies concerning the sensitivity of CSF cytology. To determine the practical use and reproducibility of diagnoses based on CSF cytology, we evaluated this test by analyzing cy...
