  2. Transcranial pulsed ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_pulsed_ultrasound

    Beginning in 2008, Dr. William Tyler and his research team from Arizona State University began an investigation and development of this alternative neuromodulation without the harmful effects and risks of invasive surgery. They discovered that this low-power ultrasound is able to stimulate high neuron activity which allows for the manipulation ...

    Occlusive stroke causes permanent tissue damage over the following three hours (maybe even 4.5 hours [3]), but not instantly. Various drugs (e.g. aspirin, streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) in ascending order of effectiveness and cost) [4] [5] [6] can reverse the stroke process. The problem is how to know immediately that a ...

  4. Cerebral shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_shunt

    The location of the shunt is determined by the neurosurgeon based on the type and location of the blockage causing hydrocephalus. All brain ventricles are candidates for shunting. The catheter is most commonly placed in the abdomen but other locations include the heart and lungs. [10] Shunts can often be named after the route used by the ...

    The EVD is leveled to a common reference point that corresponds to the skull base, usually the tragus or external auditory meatus.The EVD is set to drain into a closed, graduated burette at a height corresponding to a particular pressure level, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, usually a neurosurgeon or neurointensivist.

    If the lumboperitoneal shunt needs repeated revisions, a ventriculoatrial or ventriculoperitoneal shunt may be considered. These shunts are inserted in one of the lateral ventricles of the brain, usually by stereotactic surgery, and then connected either to the right atrium of the heart or the peritoneal cavity.

    However, deprescribing may be considered if a patient experiences side effects like rapid heart rate, anxiety, or bone loss, or if their thyroid function tests normalize.”

  8. Functional ultrasound imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Ultrasound_Imaging

    Ultrasound Doppler imaging can be used to obtain basic functional measurements of brain activity using blood flow. In functional transcranial Doppler sonography, a low frequency (1-3 MHz) transducer is used through the temporal bone window with a conventional pulse Doppler mode to estimate blood flow at a single focal location.

  9. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoscopic_third...

    A shunt has risk of infection and failure for which subsequent surgery is needed. Complications of ETV include hemorrhage (the most severe being due to basilar artery rupture), injury to neural structures (e.g. hypothalamus, pituitary gland or fornix of the brain), and late sudden deterioration.
