permeability characteristics that largely constitute the “blood-brain barrier.” The entire brain is enveloped in three protective sheets known as themeninges, continuations of the membranes that wrap thespinal cord. The two inner sheets enclose a shock-absorbing cushion of cerebrospinal fluid. ...
Ventricular Drain refers to a procedure used in infants who are not suitable for ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, involving temporary drainage of cerebrospinal fluid from the brain's ventricles to manage conditions like ventricular dilation.
Meningeal lymphatic vessels residing in the dural layer above the sinuses of the brain, meninges at the base of the brain, and near the cribriform plate have all been shown to drain fluid, cells, and antigens. We have previously reported... Z Fabry,M Hsu,C Laaker,... - 《Nature Immuno...
The lymphatic system is one of the eleven body systems that functions to maintain the fluid levels in the body's tissue and supports the immune system. The series of lymph structures removes all the fluid that leak from the blood vessels and...
(CSF) drainage, allowing caregivers to drain and monitor CSF from ventricular or lumbar areas. Similarly, the company’s VentriClear External Ventricular Drainage (EVD) Catheter Set enables external access and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid from brain ventricles. It uses translucent silicone elastomer ...
Blood removal from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in post-subarachnoid hemorrhage patients may reduce the risk of related secondary brain injury. We formulated a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to investigate the impact of a dual-lumen catheter-based CSF filtration system, called Neurapheresis ...
