Hydrocephalus, a disorder characterized by an excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the brain, is treated with the ReFlow Mini Flusher, a second-generation device. A US-based medical equipment company, Anuncia Medical Inc., introduced the ReFlow Mini Flusher device in July 2023. ...
Hydrocephalus is a common disorder caused by the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. Treatment typically involves the surgical implantation of a pressure-regulated silicone tube assembly, known as a shunt. Unfortunately, shunts have extremely high failure rates and diagnosing shunt malf...
it can physically deform the child because CSF continues to build up that leads to expansion of child’s head to accommodate excessive CSF. As compared to the older child or an elderly, the infant head can expand, as their fontanels are not yet closed. Thus, in case if hydrocephalus is ...

They found that CSF stroke volume was reduced in the elderly, both at the aqueductal and cervical levels. Another new approach is the phase contrast balanced steady-state free precession (PC-bSSFP). It is advantageous over the gradient echo in that signal-to-noise ratio is improved and non-...
The levels of Aβ42 and Ptau proteins were reported to be higher in the CSF of cognitively healthy elderly subjects with OSA [7] and subjects in the continuum of AD suf- fering from OSA [8]. In addition, longitudinal studies have suggested an increase in the speed of cerebral amy- ...
When the administration responsibility is placed on the patient simplicity is vital to suit also children, elderly and disabled persons, perhaps with reduced sight capabilities and hand strengths.
