Bacterial meningitis usually has three main stages. At first, the bacteria multiply in the nasal passages and throat, often causing no painful symptoms. Next, they invade the blood, introducingtoxicsubstances into the circulation and causing fever; if the infection is caused byN. meningitidis, a ...
The cause of spinal headaches is directly linked to the leakage of spinal fluid through a puncture hole through a tough membrane (dura mater) that surrounds the spinal cord. This leakage leakage reduces the pressure exerted by the spinal fluid on the brain and spinal chord, which leads to the...
Spinal headaches can also be treated with a blood patch, in which a small amount of the patient's blood is carefully injected into the puncture site to create a clot which seals it off, preventing the leakage of fluid. Also known as a Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH), a spinal ...
Tethered cord syndromepresents with signs and symptoms that result from excessive tension on the spinal cord. At birth, the conus is usually located at the L2–L3 level and ascends to the L1–L2 level by 3 months of age. Spinal dysraphism is responsible for the majority of cases. A constel...
Usually, 500–1000 ml of lukewarm tap water is installed every to every third day and for most patients the procedure takes between 30 and 45 min. Otherwise unrecognized stimuli from the bladder and gut are common causes of AD11 and many patients have symptoms of AD during standard bowel ...

After injection, the needle was held at the L5 DRG for 1 min to prevent leakage. Complete hemostasis was confirmed, and the wound was sutured with wound clips. Spinal nerve injection of PEI/DNA polyplexes Under isoflurane anesthesia (induction: 5% and maintenance: 2.5%), rats were placed ...
The major difficulty during enema administration in SB patients is leakage [15]. During enema administration the inability to completely squeeze the anal sphincters while trying to hold the enema solution is likely the reason. In this case, a greater volume can be introduced in the rectal balloon...
choose C1–6 fusion because we wanted to preserve the neck motion of the patient as much as possible. The surgical time was clocked as 127 min and blood loss was 100 mL. The patient experienced no postoperative complications such as CSF leakage, surgical site infection, or neurological ...
Also known as a Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH), a spinal headache is a well known side effect of procedures in which the dura is punctured. Special care is taken to reduce the risk of developing a spinal headache, including using small needles for such punctures to minimize leakage of...
