To perform this test, a doctor inserts a needle into the patient's spine and removes a sample of cerebrospinal fluid for testing. Once the patient is stable, doctors will concentrate on keeping him or her as healthy as possible. Coma patients are susceptible to pneumonia and other infections....
There’s also less blood flow to your brain. That sounds scary, but it isn’t a bad thing. It leaves room for more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow in and out. That’s the liquid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. Compared to when you’re awake, CSF helps clear out more ...
Based on that discovery, doctors at MSK are now determining whether a drug called deferoxamine could be an effective treatment for leptomeningeal metastases by helping to remove iron from the cerebrospinal fluid. "The plasticity of these cells allowed several patients with several different cancers to...

production of endorphins in cerebrospinal fluid after patients underwent acupuncture treatments11. The pain-alleviating effects of acupuncture were reduced when naloxone was used to pretreat the patient, which may indicate that acupuncture-induced analgesia may be partly mediated through endogenous opioids12...
to actively respond to dopamine and suggesting that dopaminergic immunoregulation is an important part of proper immune function. A detailed understanding of the physiological concentrations of dopamine in specific regions of the human body, particularly in peripheral systems, is critical to the ...

These findings corroborate what already founded for the brains and cerebrospinal fluid of patients affected by AD [97–99]. Other authors reported that platelets from AD patients actually express increased BACE1 activity compared to controls [100, 101]. In agreement with the increased β-secretase ...
