چکیده

Coverings of the brain As introduced in the 2nd lecture, the brain is covered by three layers namely: dura mater, arachnoid, pia matter. The dura mater is of significance due to the venous sinuses and is the toughest layer/s (two layers in fact) – and its upper layer is directly attached to the periosteum. The blood vessels travel between the arachnoid and pia mater. The arachnoid and pia mater together is called: leptomeninges.

Diffusion of ofloxacin into cerebrospinal fluid of patients with purulent meningitis or ventriculitis.

The penetration of ofloxacin was studied in 22 patients with purulent meningitis or ventriculitis treated with conventional antibiotics. Three successive doses of 200 mg were infused at 12-h intervals during the acute stage of the disease. Ten patients received three additional doses when the meninges were considered to be healed. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was drawn 0.5, 3, 6, or 12 h after the...

Reduction of CSF and blood flow artifacts on FLAIR images of the brain with k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to test a new variant of the fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequence that was designed to reduce CSF and blood flow artifacts by use of a non-slice-selective inversion pulse and k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP). METHODS With the KRISP FLAIR sequence, the slice order was cycled so that each inversion time (TI...

Cerebrospinal fluid nerve growth factor and total protein concentration in the children with meningitis

Meningitis is one of the most common infectious cerebral nervous system (CNS), defined as an inflammation of the meninges. It is clinically categorized into a chronic and acute based on the acuity of symptoms. Vomiting, bulging fontanel and fever are the main symptoms in the patients with meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a severe, potentially life-threatening infection that is associated wit...

Cerebrospinal Pulsation Hydrodynamics in a 2D Simulation of Brain Ventricles

In this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. Using MRI images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. CSF velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., ICP, which has a...

Cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulins and complement in meningococcal meningitis.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM) were measured in 107 patients with meningococcal meningitis. Levels were correlated significantly with CSF total protein, and both CSF immunoglobulin and protein increased with age. C3 was measured in the CSF of 38 patients and was also closely correlated with the CSF protein level. C3 breakdown products were found in all six CSFs tested...
