Blood‚ cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissue are all constituents of the cranium. The pressure within the cranium is known as intracranial pressure (ICP); it is the same as that found in the brain tissue and CSF. (2) The pressure-volume relationship between ICP‚ brain tissue‚ blood‚ volume of CSF‚ and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is known as the Monro-Kellie hypothesis.(12) This hypothesis states that the cranial compartment is considered as an enclosed and inelastic container‚ which has

hours following an intracranial haemorrhage‚ the erythrocytes that leaked into the subarachnoid space migrate through the CSF and begin to haemolyse‚ releasing their oxyhaemoglobin content into the fluid [11]. This can be detected visually via colour comparisons; however this method only provides a quantitative interpretation of the sample. Instead‚ the preferred method of CSF oxyhaemoglobin is via spectrophotometric analysis from 4-10 hours following the bleed at a wavelength of 415 nm [12]. The

The activated APCs are then reinfused into the patient and stimulate TH and Tc cells which then specifically target tumor cells in the prostate that express the PAP protein and destroy them. In addition to this method that enhances the immune response specifically for a certain type of antigen-expressing tumors‚ the GM-CSF cytokine could also be used in a different

meaning water‚ and "cephalus" referring to the head. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the ventricles (fluid-containing cavities) of the brain and may increase pressure within the head. Although hydrocephalus is often described as "water on the brain‚" the "water" is actually CSF‚ a clear fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF has three crucial functions: 1) it acts as a "shock absorber" for the brain and spinal cord; 2) it acts as a vehicle
