Where does the CSF originate‚ and what route does it take through and around the CNS? CSF originates in the choroid plexuses. Flow of CSF in the CNS: a. CSF is secreted by choroid plexus in each lateral ventricle. b. CSF flows through interventricular formina into third ventricle c. Choroid plexus in third ventricle adds more CSF. d. CSF flows down cerebral aqueduct to fourth ventricle. e. Choroid plexus in fourth ventricle adds more CSF. f. CSF flows out two lateral

Signaling process of BICC 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 Background of BICC In the past few years‚ the demand for the integration of the data network and the voice network has become more obvious. The telecom network accesses the WWW through dialup. The IP network is also used to provide low-quality and low-cost voice services. The circuit contention results in the transferring of both voice stream and data stream over the ATM network

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
