Simulation of cerebrospinal fluid transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
The model consists of 5 compartments (indicated by integer 1-5). In accordance with literature, cardiac related pulsations is introduced intracranially (by means of B “pseudo” compartment) while the respiration related pulsation is introduced spinally from spinal epidural space (C, T and L). We assume an isothermal flow of an ideal fluid. The model equations are derived by invoking basic conservation laws

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...
متن کاملEnterobius vermicularis in Cerebrospinal Fluid
Enterobius vermicularis is a nematod of large intestine in man. Extra intestinal localization of this parasite is rare. A 60 year old man was admitted to the hospital with the clinical manifestation of meningitis. In laboratory examination of cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F), the appearance was red, Albu-min level was high and the glucose showed normal value. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained slides pr...

Physiol. 214(3) : 448-454. 1968.-Clearance of sulfate-35S from the cerebrospinal fluid was measured during ventriculocisternal perfusions in cats. Sulfate-35S was cleared from cerebrospinal fluid against a plasma gradient, and the clearance was reduced by the addition of 4 mM sulfate...
