Objectives To determine current epidemiology and clinical characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt surgery, including revisions. Methods A retrospective, multicentre, registry-based study ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infections are a significant complication associated with the surgical placement of shunts, which are devices used to manage conditions like hydrocephalus.

These catheters are used in shunt systems to facilitate the drainage of excess CSF, thereby alleviating pressure on the brain. However, one of the significant challenges in the use of ventricular ...

Therapeutic interventions include serial lumbar punctures, only useful when the ventricles remain in communication with the lumbar subarachnoid space, and repeated aspiration through a ventricular ...

BACKGROUND--Prosthetic infections are a major problem, requiring complex and lengthy management. The role of blood proteins in the pathogenesis of implant infection has been investigated, but research ...

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of tube shunt implantation with trabeculectomy in the treatment of patients with glaucoma. Methods A systematic literature search was performed for studies ...

It includes an endovascularly implantable cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) shunt and delivery components, featuring a self-expanding nitinol anchor. The IDE study, evaluating eShunt’s safety and ...

AIMS To identify the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunt flow pattern using Doppler echocardiography; and to assess whether it could be used to predict the development of clinically significant PDA.

The combination of decreased amyloid β42 (Aβ42) and increased total tau proteins (T-Tau) and phosphorylated tau (P-Tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has recently been considered as a biological ...

These guidelines on transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent-shunt (TIPSS) in the management of portal hypertension have been commissioned by the Clinical Services and Standards Committee (CSSC) ...

The case reported below was shown to be caused by congenital intrahepatic portal–systemic shunts. N.F. (C ... carbon dioxide content). The cerebrospinal fluid was under normal pressure ...
