The brain depends on the rapid turnover and constant circulation of CSF to maintain intracranial pressure; water entry to the brain or water exit from the brain should be regulated to prevent brain edema; a continuous clearance of K+released duringneuronal activityis necessary. Thechoroid plexus(...

shunt surgery, the pathophysiology and nosology of iNPH are still poorly understood and debated, largely because of the lack of accurate diagnostic criteria and biomarkers.2A large-volume lumbar puncture ("tap test") is routinely performed to determine surgical candidacy, which offers the opportunity ...

The environmental impact of GBCA can be reduced by (1) measures focusing on the application of GBCA by means of weight-based contrast volume reduc- tion, GBCA with higher relaxivity per mmol of Gd, contrast-enhancing sequences, and post-processing; and (2) meas-...
The inclusion criteria were: 1) 0–3 years of age; 2) CCHD diagnosed according to blood mixing from the left and right heart due to abnormal right to left shunt, children with persistent cyanosis (SpO2<92%) and pulmonary blood flow reduction; and 3) scheduled for heart surgery. The exclu...
While there is modest discussion in the literature about pathophysiology and risk factors for immersion pulmonary edema (IPE), there is a paucity of evidence or expert consensus on the treatment and prevention of this condition. The relatively low incidence of IPE limits the performance of adequately...
An emulsion is provided including: an oil component and a water component, the oil component including: fish oil triglycerides in an amount of about 60% to about 90% based on the we
We investigated the brain structure in iNPH using automatic ventricular volumetry, single-tensor diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and bi-tensor free-water (FW) imaging analyses while focusing on cognitive impairments before and after lumboperitoneal shunt surgery.Saito, Asami...
Cataracts are mainly classified into three types: cortical cataracts, nuclear cataracts, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. In addition, retrodots and waterclefts are cataract subtypes that cause decreased visual function. To maintain an orderly and ti
