Enterobius 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...

Cerebrospinal Fluid and Spinal Anesthesia Parameters in Healthy Versus Opium-Addict Patients during Lower Limb Surgery

EXTENSION OF THE CEREBROSPINAL FLUID SPACE INTO THE PROXIMAL TYMPANIC PART OF THE FACIAL NERVE

The author presents an unusual extension of the cerebrospinal fluid space into the proximal tympanic part of the facial nerve, and points out the clinical and surgical significance of this anatomical variation.

A Modified Method for Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection in Anesthetized Rat and Evaluation of the Efficacy

Dear editor: We would like to present a modified method for cerebrospinal fluid collection in anesthetized rat. This method is easy and applicable in many laboratories interested by research on cellular and molecular effects of CSF on different pathways.

Frequency of Neonatal and children bacterial meningitis and determining their antibiotic sensitivity patterns in Hospitals of Iran

Meningitis is one of the most important causes of infant mortality and its early and proper diagnosis is of great importance, but there are currently no laboratory facilities optimized and fast in detection of meningitis pathogens. The current standard of bacterial meningitis diagnosis is microscopic examination and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture. This research aimed at isolating the most co...

Development of an RP-HPLC-UV method for simultaneous detection of nimodipine and its metabolite in cerebrospinal fluid of rat

A rapid, simple and reproducible HPLC method was developed and validated for the analysis of nimodipine (NM) and/or its metabolite, oxidized nimodipine (OX–NM) in rat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and artificial CSF. The NM and OX–NM were eluted in less than 10 min with no interferences from the endogenous CSF peaks. Analysis was carried out on a Eurospher Performance (RP-C18, 250 × 4.6 mm) column ...
