  2. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found within the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord of all vertebrates. CSF is produced by specialized ependymal cells in the choroid plexus of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations. In humans, there is about 125 mL of CSF at any one time ...

  3. Glymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glymphatic_system

    Although Swedenborg's work (in translation) was not published until 1887 due to his lack of medical credentials, he also may have made the first connection between the CSF and the lymphatic system. His description of the CSF was of a "spirituous lymph". [20]

  4. Intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_pressure

    Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure exerted by fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the skull and on the brain tissue. ICP is measured in millimeters of mercury and at rest, is normally 7–15 mmHg for a supine adult.

  5. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the skull and spine provides further protection and also buoyancy, and is found in the subarachnoid space between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater. [citation needed] The CSF that is produced in the ventricular system is also necessary for chemical stability, and the provision of nutrients needed by the ...

  7. Tarlov cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarlov_cyst

    Current treatment options include CSF aspiration, fibrin-glue therapy, laminectomy with wrapping of the cyst, among other surgical treatment approaches. Interventional treatment of Tarlov cysts is the only means by which symptoms might permanently be resolved due to the fact that the cysts often refill after aspiration.

  8. CSF glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSF_glucose

    CSF glucose levels can be useful in distinguishing among causes of meningitis as more than 50% of patients with bacterial meningitis have decreased CSF glucose levels while patients with viral meningitis usually have normal CSF glucose levels. Decrease in glucose levels during a CNS infection is caused due to glycolysis by both white cells and ...

  9. Retranslation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retranslation

    In translation studies, the accepted meaning is now as a new translation into the same target language of a previously translated work. [6] The traditional conceptualization holds that the process is linear [ 7 ] or chronological, with retranslation always taking place after the first translation. [ 8 ]
