Use of cerebrospinal fluid flow rates measured by phase-contrast MR to differentiate normal pressure hydrocephalus from involutional brain changes
Conclusion The mean CSF flow rate may be useful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and the prediction of the potential benefits of surgical intervention for patients considered to have NPH.

Opposing CSF hydrodynamic trends found in the cerebral aqueduct and prepontine cistern following shunt treatment in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus
ConclusionsAlthough several studies have quantified the changes in aqueductal flow between hydrocephalic groups and controls, few studies have investigated prepontine cistern flow. Our study was the first to investigate both regions in the same patients for NPH pre- and post- treatment. Following shunt treatment, the aqueductal CSF metrics decreased toward control values, while the prepontine cistern metrics trended up (not significantly) from the normal values established in this study. The opposing trend of the two locations suggests a redistribution of CSF pulsatility in NPH patients. Furthermore, the significantly decr...

Transmantle Pressure Computed from MR Imaging Measurements of Aqueduct Flow and Dimensions ADULT BRAIN
CONCLUSIONS: The nondimensional fluid mechanics model for computing transmantle pressure detected changes in pressure related to age and aqueductal dimensions. This novel methodology can be easily used to investigate the clinical relevance of the transmantle pressure in normal pressure hydrocephalus, pediatric communicating hydrocephalus, and other CSF disorders.

MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...

Predictive Factors of Central Nervous Infection: Prospective Evaluation of 124 Cases with Suspicion of Meningitis. (P2.303)
Discussion and conclusions: The presence of meningeal signs, hypoglucorraquia and low PH in CSF are the most suggestive findings of meningitis, when compared to fever, mental status changes or other variables. Initial CSF image should include the application of constrast when possible.Disclosure: Dr. Trevino has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gonzalez Duarte has nothing to disclose.

Depression, anxiety, and cognitive functioning after intracerebral hemorrhage
ConclusionsOne of four survivors of ICH at young age suffers long‐term PSD. Higher degree of disability predicted occurrence of PSD. Treatment of depression appears as an unmet need in young ICH survivors.

Complications following cranioplasty: incidence and predictors in 348 cases.
CONCLUSIONS The authors' goal was to provide the neurosurgeon with predictors of morbidity and mortality that could be incorporated in the clinical decision-making algorithm. Control of a patient's risk factors and early recognition of complications may help practitioners avoid the exhaustive list of complications. PMID: 25768830 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mortality Predictors in Bacterial Meningitis Patients who developed Hydrocephalus (P5.050)
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective analysis, we found that every decade increase in age, ischemic stroke, respiratory failure and requirement of ventriculostomy were significant predictors of mortality in patients of bacterial meningitis who developed hydrocephalus.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy fails to reduce hydrocephalus formation following subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats
Conclusion Multiple HBO therapy does not ameliorate hydrocephalus formation in a rat model of SAH; however, HBO tendentially improved the neurological functions and spatial learning and memory abilities in rats with hydrocephalus.
