BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Increased CSF stroke volume through the cerebral aqueduct has been proposed as a possible indicator of positive surgical outcome in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; however, consensus is lacking. In this prospective study, we aimed to compare CSF flow parameters in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus with those in healthy controls and change after shunt surgery and to investigate whether any parameter could predict surgical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and 21 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were prospectively included and examined clinically and with MR imaging of the brain. Eighteen patients were treated with shunt implantation and were re-examined clinically and with MR imaging the day before the operation and 3 months postoperatively. All MR imaging scans included a phase-contrast sequence. RESULTS: The median aqueductal CSF stroke volume was ...

Authors: Jain, Kapil , Gupta, Priyanka , Srivastava, Arun Kumar , Kumar, Raj Article Type: Research Article Abstract: Ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), both are well-established therapeutic modalities for the management of hydrocephalus. However, the treatment of choice is still controversial due to non-uniformity of the pre-existing data. It was a single institute retrospective cum prospective study enrolling 68 pediatric patients of congenital aqueductal stenosis (neonate to 18-year-old, mean age 48.2 ± 67.9 mo). The present study dealt with a uniform population of congenital aqueductal stenosis excluding …secondary causes like post-infectious, post-hemorrhagic and tumor-related aqueductal stenosis. There were 54 patients in the VP shunt group and 14 in the ETV group. In the VP shunt group, there was no intra-operative or post-operative mortality and none had cerebrospinal fluid leak. Technical failure rate (shunt malfunction within 5 days of ...

The clinical and pathological (imaging, neurocognitive assessment, CSF analyses) evolution of the present patient with fetal onset hydrocephalus supports the possibility that the progressive stenosis of SA initiated during the embryonic period may have resulted from (1) ependymal disruption of the cerebral aqueduct and/or (2) dysfunction of the subcommissural organ.. A strong body of evidence obtained in mutant hydrocephalic animals and human hydrocephalus indicates that the loss of neural stem cells/ependyma from the embryonic germinal zone, regarded as ventricular zone disruption, is associated with the onset of hydrocephalus [5-12]. The disruption phenomenon is the final outcome of several genetic and non-genetic abnormalities that lead to the abnormal expression of gap and adherent junctions [11, 12, 37-39]. In mutant hyh mice, the time program of ventricular zone disruption starts during fetal life and ends by the end of the first postnatal week [5-7]. It is only after this disruption ...

The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of aqueduct technologies through the millennia, from prehistoric to medieval times. These hydraulic works were used by several civilizations to collect water from springs and to transport it to settlements, sanctuaries and other targets. Several civilizations, in China and the Americas, developed water transport systems independently, and brought these to high levels of sophistication. For the Mediterranean civilizations, one of the salient characteristics of cultural development, since the Minoan Era (ca. 3200-1100 BC), is the architectural and hydraulic function of aqueducts used for the water supply in palaces and other settlements. The Minoan hydrologists and engineers were aware of some of the basic principles of water sciences and the construction and operation of aqueducts. These technologies were further developed by subsequent civilizations. Advanced aqueducts were constructed by the Hellenes and, especially, by the Romans, who dramatically

DFNB4 with enlarged vestibular aqueduct is characterized by pre- or perilingual onset of sensorineural or mixed hearing loss, which may be fluctuating or progressive. The hearing loss is associated with temporal bone abnormalities, most commonly enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct, but it can also include the more severe Mondini dysplasia, a complex malformation in which the normal cochlear spiral of 2.5 turns is replaced by a hypoplastic coil of 1.5 turns (summary by Campbell et al., 2001 and Pryor et al., 2005). Enlarged vestibular aqueduct is the most common form of inner ear abnormality and can be associated with disequilibrium symptoms in a minority of patients (Valvassori, 1983; Jackler and de la Cruz, 1989; Levenson et al., 1989; Arcand et al., 1991; Belenky et al., 1993; Okumura et al., 1995).

Many posters including yours truly, have discussed the Big A versus Belmont Park developments for some time now. Former Governor Spitzer convinced a majority of Albany back in March-April of 2007, that a friendly deal with the NYRA, lets call it The Land Grab in conjunction with the closure and sale of of the land at Aqueduct, with the grand development at Belmont Park was the way to maximize benefit to the state. The NYRA hasnt ever had any real qualms about not having to race in the freezing cold at Aqueduct, knowing some provision for a shorter late fall-early spring meet would be made at Belmont. An astute political move was to make it look like Delaware North was going to pay a ton of money to develop the Big A, then when they defaulted or tried to modify the deal, the discussion of just doing one grand palace at a downstate racetrack could gain some momentum once again, and as a last ditch concession to the Aqueduct community if necessary, bring in a vendor to hang some machines on ...

In our prospective study cohort, membranous obstruction was demonstrated in 92 (68.6%) of 134 cases of hydrocephalus with the use of 3D-CISS at 3T. Intraventricular membranous obstruction is the most common pathologic finding to cause noncommunicating hydrocephalus (85/114 total noncommunicating cases). However, except in the cerebral aqueduct region, conventional images are insensitive in detection of obstructive membranes in the CSF pathway. In this study, they were only demonstrated in 57 (36.3%) of 157 obstruction sites with the use of conventional imaging. In choosing the most appropriate treatment technique and to assess the prognosis in hydrocephalus, the classification of hydrocephalus and demonstration of obstruction, if it exists, are of significant importance.20,33 The terminology and the classification of hydrocephalus are still a matter of debate and are not the aims of our study. However, it is obvious that we need accurate neuroimaging techniques to demonstrate CSF pathways ...

It consists of cavities lined with ependymal cells, interconnected with narrow channels that contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Theres is a vascular process of the pia mater in the ventricles containing capillaries of the choroids artery/arteria choroidea called choroids plexus/plex choroideus. The lateral ventricles/ ventriculus lateralis are located in each hemisphere and subdivided in body, anterior horn, posterior horn and inferior horn. Each lateral ventricle is connected to the third ventricle/ ventriculus tertius by foramen interventricularis (foramen Monro). The third ventricle is located in the midline and is connected to fourth ventricle/ventriculus quartus by the cerebral aqueduct/aqueductus cerebri. The fourth ventricle/ventriculus quartus is located between the brain stem and cerebellum. ...

We describe herein a novel life-size phantom model of the intracranial cavity and its validation. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) domains including ventricular, cysternal, and subarachnoid spaces were derived via magnetic resonance imaging. Brain mechanical properties and cranio-spinal compliance were set based on published data. Both bulk and pulsatile physiologic CSF flow were modeled. Model validation was carried out by comparisons of flow and pressure measurements in the phantom with published in vivo data of healthy subjects. Physiologic intracranial pressure with 10 mmHg mean and 0.4 mmHg peak pulse amplitude was recorded in the ventricles. Peak CSF flow rates of 0.2 and 2 ml/s were measured in the cerebral aqueduct and subarachnoid space, respectively. The phantom constitutes a first-of-its-kind approach to modeling physiologic intracranial dynamics in vitro. Herein, we describe the phantom design and manufacturing, definition and implementation of its operating parameters, as well as the ...

A pineal gland cyst is a usually benign (non-malignant) cyst in the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland in the brain. Historically, these fluid-filled bodies appeared on 1-4% of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans, but were more frequent at death, seen in 21-41% of autopsies. A 2007 study by Pu et al. found a frequency of 23% in brain scans (with a mean diameter of 4.3 mm). It was once believed that smaller cysts (less than 5.0 mm) were usually asymptomatic, but for larger cysts (greater than 5.0 mm), symptoms could include headache, unexpected seizures, visual disturbances, memory loss, cognitive decline, muscle fasciculations, nausea, weakness, fatigue, light sensitivity, tinnitus, circadian rhythm dysfunction, or hydrocephalus if the cyst impinged on the superior colliculi or caused obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct. Newer research shows that the size of the cyst does not necessarily correlate to the presence of symptoms. In some cases, it will need to be removed before ...

We have investigated whether there is evidence of target-directed growth of retinal axons to the tectum, and whether the surface of the rostral brainstem is an obligatory substrate for growing optic axons by transplanting embryonic mouse retinae to the cerebral aqueduct of neonatal rats. Such retinae emit axons that grow dorsally through the brain parenchyma to reach the superficial layers of the superior colliculus either by running dorsally along the midline, or by following a dorsally directed, radially arching course through the brain parenchyma. Studies of the early outgrowth pattern from transplanted retinae, and comparison studies of the axonal outgrowth from similarly placed cortical grafts suggest that outgrowth of retinal axons is target-directed and specific to optic axons.

Variations in the size and shape of the human vestibular aqueduct were evaluated in 118 plastic casts of unselected specimens of human temporal bones. They were examined by conventional radiography and by high resolution CT. The degree of the mastoid and perilabyrinthine pneumatization was defined and classified into 3 types. The dimensions of the peripheral portion of the aqueduct were found to be related to the extent of the perilabyrinthine pneumatization.. ...

Minor narrowing of the channel between the third and fourth ventricles may not produce any symptoms, other than a slightly enlarged ventricle. Therefore, brain imaging may be the first indication an adult has aqueductal stenosis and may develop arrested hydrocephalus. A neurologist may order those images for an unrelated reason or because the patient has talked about symptoms that might suggest hydrocephalus.. CT scans are able to identify the enlarged ventricles that are typical of hydrocephalus. They cannot always provide an explanation as to why the ventricles are enlarged. If the third ventricle is enlarged but the fourth ventricle is normal, the neurologist or neurosurgeon may order additional testing and imaging to confirm the diagnosis of arrested hydrocephalus.. Those tests may include:. ...

A 17-year-old girl reported a 2-week history of progressively worsening daily headaches most prominent on waking in the morning, and 1-week history of vomiting and diplopia. She had been previously well except for a ventriculoperitoneal shunt inserted at the age of 5 months for aqueduct stenosis. On examination, her body mass index was 24 kg/m2. She was afebrile. Her visual acuity was 6/6 on the right and 6/9 on the left, while her visual perimetry was normal. She had a left lateral rectus palsy and unilateral … ...

The arterial and venous blood vessels will fill with contrast, but this will not actually tell the reader the determination of the flow direction. On rare occasions, a patient may have a condition called sub-clavian steal syndrome (SSS, for short.) This condition can be discovered through a procedure called MRA carotid flow quantification of the carotid vessels. This is not a procedure that is always done with a carotid MRA study, so it needs to be specifically requested by the referring physician, the radiologist or vascular specialist. Additionally, not all MRI locations are familiar with performing flow quantification on the blood vessels, but this is something easily taught.. Additionally, one should have flow quantification MRI software available to load the images, calculate blood flow and determine the flow directions, flow speeds and more.. Some of the patients present with vertigo (dizziness), positional vertigo (turning of the head), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), numbness of the ...

The project stretches more than 700 miles, from Lake Oroville in the north to Lake Perris in the south. Water is stored at Lake Oroville and released when needed into the Feather River, which flows into the Sacramento River and to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. In the north Bay-Delta, water is pumped into the North Bay Aqueduct for delivery to Napa and Solano counties. In the south Bay-Delta, SWP pumps lift water into the 444-mile-long California Aqueduct. Some water flows into the South Bay Aqueduct, to serve areas in Alameda and Santa Clara counties. The remainder flows southward to cities and farms in central and southern California. In the winter, when demands are lower, water is stored at the San Luis Reservoir located south of the Bay-Delta. The SWP terminates at Lake Perris where it joins MWDs system.. For more information on the Bay Delta, click here. ...

AQUEDUCTS What are Aqueducts? Situated throughout France, Italy and Spain, Aqueducts are above-ground pipelines that are able to carry water from a watercourse to a diversity of destinations, some being cities, farms, mills or industries. The persistent flow of water also supplied public baths, fountains, latrines (communal toilets) and private/rich households with fresh and clean […]. ...

I began bumping into WisCon people long before reaching the hotel, of course. The gate in the Minneapolis airport for the early afternoon flight to Madison fairly teemed with familiar folks, including Cynthia Gonsalves (who was fascinated to see the new volume of the WisCon Chronicles, which Id been reading on the plane) and Bill Humphries. And on arrival in Madison, I discovered that Eileen Gunn and John Berry had been on the same plane out of Seattle with me, only I never noticed because they were seated way in the back, surrounded by a youth choral group and a high school champion volley ball team who were, even at 7 a.m., in high spirits. Eileens still in a cast (she claimed she broke her finger skateboarding, but then admitted that she got so carried away looking at the cherry blossoms that she tripped and went sprawling). From her description of her accident, it sounds like the sort of thing that could happen to me ...

One story: at a Humanist con during the lunch following a meeting one white man (married to a black owman; one would have thought he knew better?) started to take credit for what an older woman had done. We had, during that morning, had one of my workshops. She turned to me and said in a voice that could be heard by all the table, Do you think he is denying my agency? I responded in the affirmative and he never did it again. He was one whom we both cared for greatly. Without the vocabulary she could have done nothing (complain? whine?). The Russ categories, and the other vocabulary I introduce provide a way to specify without offense, in some circumstances. Words create things, so that it is not just nebulous whining -- though when one is sitting in an audience such is difficult to do. and for racial profiling some work on vocabulary creation needs to be done such that people like the two you speak of can be spoken to, such as, e.g., Do you deny my personal experience? or Do you deny my ...

Its very possible that the gold rail we saw yesterday will carry over into todays card, but Im just not the type of handicapper who likes to analyze races assuming a bias will be present. Its useful to know when surfaces have become biased and keep detailed records of such occurrences, but making money by just blindly betting inside speeds is not what draws me to this game.. Im assuming that many horseplayers will enter this card having handicapped for the bias and will therefore gravitate towards the probable inside speed Alice and Trixie in this race. On a fair racetrack, I would not like Alice and Trixie at all. She proved on January 17th that she wants no part of a route of ground as she stopped to walk in the final furlong against a field that may have been even weaker than the one she meets today. In all likelihood Alice and Trixe is going to be an odds-on favorite here as many will assume that she will play out to be the inside speed. That may very well be the case, but I dont see ...

Because at the moment its not considered a safe site and is technically a live line. NR are currently the responsible landowner so have a duty to prevent trespass.. Many of you pro rail folk clearly have no idea the line doesnt continue south past the A5, has never been relaid properly over the M6 Toll or Lich bypass bridges and would have to be totally relaid anyway. It was end of life when closed.. Should the line be rebuilt, it would involve the reconstruction of several bridges and an aqueduct - two of winch are grade 2 nationally listed structures. We are talking millions of pounds for very uncertain demand against a faster, more frequent bus service.. On the portion from Pelsall to Walsall its already a surfaced, well used trail and has been for over 20 years.. Allowing it to be turned to a walkway doesnt stop its future use as a rail route - it protects the track bed from encroachment and an agreement exists that should NR want it back, they just have to make parallel provision for ...

I shouldnt have stopped walking. I shouldnt have stopped moving. I shouldnt have stopped thinking. I let my mind go, and with that I lost the battle. The throbbing semi-surrealistic pain shooting up from my feet suddenly became excruciatingly tense. Frantically I looked around for a safe place to rest. The road cracked and broke out infront of me, right next to it lies the old aqueduct. The trickling water and seemingly good protection from the reeds was and still is fatally attractive. Many a person had found their death there, and in this world, there was no such thing as life insurance or funeral plans. The best you could manage was a couple of dogsstrolling hungrily by. A gruesome thought, but yet. Nobody seemed to learn the lesson. And yet I found myself mesmerisingly stumbling towards it. I needed the rest and the water! I noticed a new pain as I walked down the slightly natural embankment. The concrete was filled with small sharp shell-like objects. They stuck to the concrete like ...

We are almost bidding the Llangollen canal a very fond farewell after being on it for the last 6 weeks!!! Since our friends left us on Monday we cleaned up, stocked up and got cruising despite very windy and often wet weather. We are on a mission to get to Kidsgrove by the middle of next week to get some mechanical repairs completed before we start intensive summer cruising to all new canals!!!!. But we have had an eventful last 10 days or so.. After arriving in Trevor following our trip down the Montgomery Canal, we prepared to spend some time with our friends Michael and Kendra (from Port Townsend USA) and Chris and Sue (from Edgware) sharing our experience of Llangollen and the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. But first on Monday 11th we travelled to London again for an eye check up which gave us a further 3 weeks of freedom to move..

The oculomotor nerve is the third cranial nerve. It enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure and innervates muscles that enable most movements of the eye and that raise the eyelid. The nerve also contains fibers that innervate the muscles that enable pupillary constriction and accommodation (ability to focus on near objects as in reading). The oculomotor nerve is derived from the basal plate of the embryonic midbrain. Cranial nerves IV and VI also participate in control of eye movement. The oculomotor nerve originates from the third nerve nucleus at the level of the superior colliculus in the midbrain. The third nerve nucleus is located ventral to the cerebral aqueduct, on the pre-aqueductal grey matter. The fibers from the two third nerve nuclei located laterally on either side of the cerebral aqueduct then pass through the red nucleus. From the red nucleus fibers then pass via the substantia nigra exiting through the interpeduncular fossa. On emerging from the brainstem, the nerve is ...

Answers from specialists on vestibular aqueduct syndrome. First: Optic atrophy refers to changes in the appearance of the optic nerve. The optic disc (where the optic nerve enters the eye) appears pale or whitish vs. The normal pink color. The presence of optic atrophy means there is damage to the optic nerve. This can occur with many different diseases (except glaucoma). The degree of visual loss depends on the severity of the optic nerve damage.

Hi everyone, (posted here and in the Hydrocephalus forum)... I am on the hunt for answers to why I cannot shake these symptoms that are so negatively impacting my life. Constant headache, pain, pressure, swooshing sounds, tingling sensations and dizziness rule my day.

I have a 2.1 cm posterior fossa

Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging have made it possible to visualize and quantify flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The net flow of CSF through the cerebral aqueduct was used to measure CSF production in six normal volunteers at different times during a 24-h period. CSF production varied greatly both intra- and interindividually. The average CSF production in each time interval showed a clear tendency to circadian variation, with a minimum production 30% of maximum values (12 +/- 7 ml/h) approximately 1800 h and a nightly peak production approximately 0200 h of 42 +/- 2 ml/h. The total CSF production during the whole 24-h period, calculated as an average of all measurements, was 650 ml for the whole group and 630 ml for repeated measurements in each time interval in one of the volunteers ...

Purpose: To investigate the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied by a full-face fitted mask at 15 cmH2O on total cerebral blood flow (tCBF), jugular venous flow (tJVF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.. Materials and methods: Axial 2D phase-contrast MRI measurements were acquired at the C2-C3 vertebral level for 23 healthy male awake subjects at baseline (without) and with CPAP applied. CSF flow was quantified within the spinal subarachnoid space and tCBF was quantified based on the summation of blood flow within the left and right internal carotid and vertebral arteries. tJVF was quantified based on the summation of blood flow within the left and right jugular veins. Heart rate, transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) and oxygen saturation were continuously monitored during the MR protocol.. Results: CPAP decreased the pulse amplitude (PtPPA) of tJVF by 21% (p = 0.004). CSF stroke volume (SV) and PtPPA also decreased by 20% (p = 0.003) and 15% (p = 0.005), respectively. ...

still in existence after continuous use of over 2,000 years. The best preserved Greek aqueduct is the one still in use at Syracuse. The most famous Roman aqueducts were the Aqua Apia, 10 miles in length; the Aqua Martia, 60 miles; the Aqua Julia, 15 miles, and the Aqua Claudia, 46 miles. With the exception of the Claudia, all these were constructed before the birth of Christ. Among the most important aqueducts in the United States are the following: The old Croton, New York City, built 1837-42, length, 38 1/4 miles, capacity, 100 million gallons daily. The new Croton, built 1884-90, length 30 1/2 miles, capacity, 250 million gallons daily. Washington Aqueduct, built 1852-59, two 4-foot pipes. Boston, from Sudbury River, built 1875-78, length, 16 miles. Baltimore, from Gunpowder River, built 1875-81, length, 7 miles.

The subcommissural organ (SCO) is a highly conserved brain gland present throughout the vertebrate phylum; it secretes glycoproteins into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), where they aggregate to form Reissners fiber (RF). SCO-spondin is the major constituent protein of RF. Evidence exists that the SCO also secretes proteins that remain soluble in the CSF. The aims of the present investigation were: (i) to identify and partially characterize the SCO-secretory compounds present in the SCO gland itself and in the RF of the Sprague-Dawley rat and non-hydrocephalic hyh mouse, and in the CSF of rat; (ii) to make a comparative analysis of the proteins present in these three compartments; (iii) to identify the proteins secreted by the SCO into the CSF at different developmental periods. The proteins of the SCO secreted into the CSF were studied (i) by injecting specific antibodies into ventricular CSF in vivo; (ii) by immunoblots of SCO, RF and CSF samples, using specific antibodies against the SCO secretory

I also had the luxury of having Haruki Murakamis 1Q84 read to me. I loved that novels premise- that it is possible to enter another world by listening to Janáčeks Sinfonietta then climbing down a staircase that juts from a busy freeway offramp in Tokyo. And that one knows that one it in that world because there are two moons, the second of which is small and moss-coloured. Originally published in Japan in in 2009 and 2010 in three volumes, 1Q84 also tackles some weighty issues- secret cults, serial murder, domestic abuse, and literary fraud. I very much enjoyed Murakamis ability to take us from the ordinary to the subtly unfamiliar and then to plunge us from the subtly unfamiliar into the profoundly weird. He does it with such a deft hand one doesnt even realize it is happening, until small beings emerge from the mouth of a sleeping girl and you just nod and think, okay. (Some critics hated Murakamis little people, but they worked for me, and I appreciated the risk.) Im always ...

Coetzees finding an ideal of human dignity in the defiant self-pity that Kundera would call litost is particularly sinister under these circumstances. Because what Bucky has been deprived of, leading him to insist that Marcia cannot possibly know her own mind when she insists she still wants to marry him, is his old life as a strong, able-bodied authority figure in a sunny homosocial environment. The novels final scene is a flashback to Buckys demonstrating his skill with the javelin to the schoolchildren under his care: its a celebration of primal muscularity worthy of Leni Riefenstahl, and Arnie (with the verbal awkwardness Roth gives him whenever he reaches for the sublime) quite explicitly recalls the event as a masculine ritual: Through him, we boys had left the little story of the neighborhood and entered the historical saga of our ancient gender. The scene perfectly illustrates the ideal in the face of which disability is incompatible with potency, community, and masculinity. It ...

Thank you, Tracy (Mehan), for that introduction and for convening this forum. I hope this meeting will provide the opportunity to explore B and perhaps even begin to solve B some of the challenges posed by America = s aging water infrastructure. About 2,300 years ago, the Roman Empire began construction of its amazing aqueduct system. By the time the system was completed B some five hundred years later B Rome = s 260 miles of water infrastructure were capable of delivering 85 million gallons of water a day to the one million citizens of the ancient city. Yet, within about 100 years of the creation of this engineering marvel of the ancient world, Rome= s ability to maintain its water infrastructure began to erode. The aqueduct system fell into disrepair, and eventually people who once had their water piped right into their homes had to dig wells and haul water from nearby rivers and lakes. The decline of Rome= s water infrastructure and the fall of its Empire followed parallel tracks. For a whole ...

The same struggle occurring today in Ethiopia and elsewhere-to provide clean drinking water on the one hand while properly disposing of wastewater on the other-has been playing out over the past twenty-five hundred years or so. During this time span, there have been five major revolutions centered on water.. The first water revolution grew out of the Roman Empire within the city of Rome itself, with the building of an intricate web of aqueducts and sewers. This occurred from 300 BC to 200 AD. As ancient Rome grew into a city of a million people, aqueducts were built to pipe water into the city. These were at the time, and remain today, an engineering marvel. Of course the arrangement was not perfect. It is well known that most of the pipes were made of lead. Lead is very malleable, making it easy to work with compared to other metals. It also wont rust. The problem, of course, is that it is poisonous. The Romans got lucky, however, as their water was rich in calcium and this mineral formed ...

The aim of this cross sectional anatomical study is to determine the distribution of the defined anatomical variations of the Sylvian fissure (SF) in a normal population and to analyze its bilateral superposable presentation. Furthermore, we examined the course of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the division of the MCA branches in relation to the SF types. A total of 300 cranial CT scans - 100 CT angiography datasets and 86 MRIs of patients without intracranial pathologies - were reviewed. The SF was categorized in five types based on Yasargils description and our previous publication. The length, diameter and branches of the MCA were measured and compared to the SF types. SPSS 23.0 for Windows® was used for statistical analysis. We analyzed data of 300 patients (171 male, 129 female; mean age 51.6years). Symmetric and mirror-imaged coherence of the SF was found in 266 patients (88.7%, χ2(8)=3.04, p=0.932). The distribution of the SF types showed significant differences in patients ...

Background The ventricles. (Image courtesy of http://library.thinkquest.org/28457/csf.shtml) The brain normally produces cerebrospinal fluid daily via the choroid plexus (a network of vessels) situated over the ventricular system. There are two lateral ventricles, located on each of the brain hemisphere. The fluid from both lateral ventricles enters the 3rd ventricle, then passes through a narrowing, the aqueduct…

SCRATCHED) came to Aqueduct, she was a buzz horse, hot off two wins at Penn National by double-digit lengths, a speedster that left her competitors gasping in her wake.. The buzz was quieted by her slim loss in a restricted race that day in December, and in the Grade 2 Gazelle, shes facing challenges-like a layoff, distance and caliber of opponents-that she hasnt taken on before, but Brisnet nonetheless rates her top in the field. Tested for the first time last out, Behrniks Bank exhibited grit in a stirring stretch duel with eventual winner Frosty Margarita, refusing to yield until the final steps.. Will her grit and speed be enough to carry her to the wire first? Theres no doubting her talent, but shes never run beyond 6 furlongs; shes making her first start in nearly four months; and shes unlikely to get loose on the lead. Shed never been headed until her loss in December, but questions remain: can a pedigree light on stamina take the 9-furlong Gazelle? And even if it can-after so ...

The work being done at regulatory levels deserves recognition for effort and intent, but left private industry owning much of the generation and distribution grid serving our homes and industries. You know them as the guys that hired the coders for the lowest wage possible whom wrote the code overbilling by large amounts. Same guys writing the code that controls the grid. Historically we do have a few examples of large scale human engineering and construction with great success and reliability. The Roman Aqueduct and the the Appian Way are two. The Roman Senate did not contract the work out to the lowest bidder, they mandated the roads be built to last 100 years and tasked the Roman Legion to do the work to the spec provided by the Senate. The roads provided rapid transport of the Legion which allowed for the security and rapid growth of the Roman Empire and vastly bolstered trade as a mere aside. We already have the Corps of Engineers but havent grown them as would service us best to both ...

I wont have to tell you much about Natalie Keller Reinart because Alex, the protagonist of her The Head and Not the Heart, is a good chunk of who Natalie is: a writer, a horseman, a believer.. Her indie book swoops the reader into the thoroughbred world. Alex is in her twenties, a strange decade where youre trying to grab a toe-hold in the world, when college spits you out, and when youre now a pro against other pros. Its competition time. Alex is in that world and she tries to find out where she belongs.. While not a traditional road novel, Alex leaves her place in Ocala, Fl for a weekend in NYC to look at a horse at Aqueduct. She runs into people her own age and questions her place in the world. Ultimately, she follows her heart.. Heres my interview with NKR.. What made you go with The Head and Not the Heart as the title, because Alex is all heart before she thinks?. Its really about the horse business, in general. That hard-to-find balance between loving horses, and making money ...

In twenty years, what from this program did Fascism fulfill? What we can say, what we must say, is that it was something else. Very quickly, Fascism forgot a large part of its revolutionary program in order to accomplish a work of practical efficiency and unity. It had come to power to avert anarchy, chaos, civil war. It acted with great urgency to reestablish order, work, peace. Then it organized and constructed. Italy became again the nation of builders. The Roman sap once again flowed in the old tree-trunk. Mussolini was initially a proconsul. Fascism produced roads, hospitals, schools, aqueducts; it drained marshes; it increased the harvests. Asfaltar no es gubernar [1], was one reaction. But it also governed. Mussolini established corporatism, an achievement requiring much more finesse than an Autobahn. The Charter of Labor was certainly not the echo of the speech at San Sepulcro. But it realistically laid the foundations of a socialist city that the future could expand: the replacement ...
