IIH is a condition that causes the pressure inside your skull to be higher than normal for no known reason. IIH can seem like a brain tumor, but no tumor is found.What causes IIH?The cause may not be known. It may be caused by an increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in ...
Four hours after taking the drug, the ratio of the drug concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the blood drug concentration is 0.4. This product is metabolized in cells into triphosphate with antiviral activity. After a single dose, the half-life is 1 to 1.5 hours. The ...
What is the pulse pressure in the aorta? Place the following structures through which CSF and venous blood flow in the correct order as they drain from the subarachnoid space into the internal jugular vein. 1. confluence of sinuses 2. sigmoid sinuses 3. superior sagittal sinus 4. transverse ...
In addition, CSF examination and CSF and blood cultures may aid the diagnosis [139]. It should be noted that AE is a relatively rare cause of rhombencephalitis, as other bacterial (Listeria), viral (Herpesviridae, Epstein-Barr), and immune-mediated (Behçet) etiologies are more common [139...
[118]. Furthermore, the virus is modified by inserting the gene that encodes human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulation factor (GM-CSF) which, when expressed, activates antigen-presenting cells to induce a tumor-specific T-cell response and enhance dendritic cell function. The virus replicates...
CSF proteomics (recognition of complex protein pat- terns) is a promising approach that has proven effective in oncology applications. Although no single marker currently satisfies the re- quirements for a useful biomarker for AD, research on multiple can- didate biomarkers may provide a panel or...
For all patients, emergent or asymptomatic, the treatment goal is long-term control of hypertension. Potent IV agents for the im-mediate control of elevated blood pressure need to be used cautiously,bearing in mind both the side effects and the hazards of overly rapid control of hypertension. ...
So this post is also partly about how cake and other provisions are an important part, or even a perk, of life as a visiting museum researcher. Put in some good solid work, then it’s cake time, but where are the cakes? You explore, and you discover them– opening the door of an...
normal tissue (Warburg effect). The key challenges when diagnosing cancer by means of PET are related to cancer biology and the actual ability to visually circumscribe the cancerous lesion using reconstructed PET images. Cancer biology is addressed by the a priori choice of a suitable tracer ...
What has not been defined yet is the mobilization of lymphoid vs. myeloid-biased HSCs in old vs. young mice. It will also be of interest to assess the mobilizing capacity of bonified HSCs to the combination of G-CSF plus AMD3100 (Plerixafor), as G-CSF and AMD3100 synergize to mobilize...
