It leads to increased cerebrospinal fluid production, thus causing increased intracranial pressure and hydrocephalus. [2] Choroid plexus papilloma occurs in the lateral ventricles of children and in the fourth ventricle of adults. This is unlike most other pediatric tumors and adult tumors, in which the locations of the tumors is reversed.
In 2003, Children's began an $80 million, 160,000-square-foot (15,000 m 2) clinical expansion and started renovating 100,000 square feet (9,300 m 2) of existing space. Children's became the first freestanding children's hospital in Ohio to receive “Magnet Recognition” in 2004, which is the highest honor for excellence in nursing. [23]
Cushing reflex (also referred to as the vasopressor response, the Cushing effect, the Cushing reaction, the Cushing phenomenon, the Cushing response, or Cushing's Law) is a physiological nervous system response to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) that results in Cushing's triad of increased blood pressure, irregular breathing, and bradycardia.

An off-label prescription drug has been shown to help children with autism gain the ability to speak. Leucovorin is used for cancer patients, but doctors are pushing for its approval for autism ...
The University of North Carolina TEACCH Autism Program creates and disseminates community-based services, training programs, and research for individuals of all ages and skill levels with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to enhance the quality of life for them and their families across the lifespan.

Intracranial hypertension (IH), also called increased ICP (IICP) or raised intracranial pressure (RICP), refers to elevated pressure in the cranium. 20–25 mmHg is the upper limit of normal at which treatment is necessary, though it is common to use 15 mmHg as the threshold for beginning treatment.
A pilot study of Frank and colleagues that evaluated different modalities of OAE in 12 healthy volunteers and 5 patients with implanted ventricular catheters for direct ICP monitoring revealed that increased ICP or conditions known to increase ICP (e.g. posture changes, abdomen compression, coughing) were associated with notable decreases ...
At 9 a.m., agents raided a Minneapolis autism center called "Smart Therapy," located in a storefront. A second raid occurred at "Star Autism" in St. Cloud. Both centers are suspected of massive ...
