Cerebrospinal fluid

head wound while in a jousiing match. The kings servents put down that he was dealing with a painfully stiff neck. In 1661 A physician, Tomas Wills who was British as trying to find the cause of a epidemic when he discovers symptons that are cerebrospinal fuild, which corilate with the greek Physician that the disease is linked to the brain.

agents and bacterial toxins alter the blood-brain barrier and damage brain tissue (Huether & McCance, 2012)”. As a result, the meningeal vessels become engorged and gradually become permeable. “The cerebral spinal fluid is thicken by inflammatory exudate and inhibits normal cerebral spinal fluid circulation around the brain and spinal cord (Huether & McCance, 2012)”. Furthermore, arachnoid villi may become congested and produce an effect of the enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain. Increased

I chose this article because I am very interested in the field and study of the brain also known as neurology. I wanted to study a predominant disease that ails society which is malaria. I know that malaria affects thousands in many unfortunate countries and has afflicted many children and adults. Malaria is a disease carried by vectors, usually mosquitos, that are mostly predominate in Africa and has many different symptoms ranging from the mild (coughing or chills) to serious (cerebral malaria

- E. coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Haemophilus influenza type b and group b streptococcus - have previously been reported as the top causes of meningitis. From January 2012 through December 2015, 3mL samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 179 children (120 males, 59 females) ranging in age from three days old to 12 years old, with acute bacterial meningitis, were tested and studied for antibiotic susceptibilities of CSF pathogens.

Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia which is loss of mental ability which is related with death of brain cells. Alzheimer's disease is caused by parts of the brain being wasted away which then damages the structure of the brain and how the brain works. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not known but people with the disease have abnormal amounts of protein, fibres and acetylcholine in the brain which reduces the effectiveness of healthy neurons by destroying them

Restoration of Normal CerebroSpinal Fluid Flow in 2 Cases of Confirmed Cerebelar Tonsilar Ectopia with Long-Term Headaches, Following Use of The Atlas Orthogonal Instrumented Manipulation Technique, Dr. Scott Rosa demonstrated the relationship between decreased CSF flow and intracranial pressure headaches. Two patients presented with severe, long standing headaches following a motor vehicle accident (MVA) whiplash injury. The patients were examined in an upright MRI with cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flow cine

One of the biggest sports in America, also one of the most dangerous- football. People all over have either seen or played the sport themselves; maybe even some of them have felt the head jarring pain of a concussion. This problem is hanging cloudy over the players, teams, and the biggest network of football, the NFL. Lawsuits have resulted from these painful headaches; but these painful, long lasting headaches can leave nasty, long term effects. My reasoning behind choosing such a controversial

follow. They are required to work out 45 minutes per week. Their memory and thinking will be tested. They also will get an MRI before the program starts and after the program ends. They also will be required to “give samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid to measure Alzheimer’s-related

Meningococcal Meningitis is the infection and inflammation of the meninges. Newborns and infants are at greatest risk for contracting bacterial meningitis with Neisseria meningitides being the typical pathogen in the majority of children age 2 months through 12 years (London, Ladewig, Ball, Bindler, & Cowen, 2011). There is a mortality rate of 10% for children who develop meningitis from this particular bacterium (Muller, 2013). N. meningitides bacterium responsible for outbreaks in densely populated

Introduction Bacterial Meningitis affects the nervous system by causing inflammation of a trio of membranes known as the Meninges that are situated around the brain and spinal cord. It 's a disease that is slowly but surely being defeated worldwide with mortality rates falling from 464,000 deaths in 1990 to 303,000 in 2013[3]. Common symptoms throughout the period of an infection include; headaches, vomiting, fever, neck stiffness and an altered mental state. The severity of symptoms can depend
