TY - JOUR. T1 - Human dura mater allografts in repair of pelvic floor and abdominal wall defects. AU - Jarrell, Maureen A.. AU - Malinin, Theodore I.. AU - Averette, Hervy E.. AU - Girtanner, Robert E.. AU - Harrison, Charles R.. AU - Penalver, Manuel A.. PY - 1987/8. Y1 - 1987/8. N2 - Freeze-dried human dura mater has been used as an allograft for reconstructive gynecologic surgery since 1980. So far, 33 grafts have been placed. This versatile and immunologically inert material has been used to reconstruct the pelvic floor after exenterative procedures, replace rectus fascia in the repair of wound dehiscence and ventral or parastomal hernias, and cover the femoral vessels after nodal dissection. In seven patients, dura mater was grafted into infected sites without subsequent rejection. Biopsy of an allograft one year after implantation confirmed the natural tendency of the body to convert the dura mater to a viable and neovascularized tissue. This reconstructive material is a safe and versatile ...

Objective More than 60% of patients worldwide with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) associated with dura mater graft (dCJD) have been diagnosed in Japan. The remarkable frequency of dura mater grafts in Japan may possibly contribute to the elevated incidence of dCJD, but reasons for the disproportionate use of this procedure in Japan remain unclear. We investigated differences between dCJD patients in Japan and those elsewhere to help explain the more frequent use of cadaveric dura mater and the high incidence of dCJD in Japan.. ...

Dural tears represent a serious challenge for the spine surgeon as well as the patient. Nerve injury, spinal fluid leak and meningitis are all possible complications of a dural tear. Dural tears usually occur in re-operation where the dura is adherent to perineural and peridural scar tissue. This situation as well as dura adherent to periosteum is usually evident on adequate pre-operative MRI scans.. Dural tears are less likely to occur in a primary operative (virgin spine) procedure. They may actually exist prior to surgery where a freely sequestered fragment of disc material has torn a nerve axilla and produced its own tamponade. In this circumstance the removal of the fragment may remove the tamponade and spinal fluid leakage is then seen. The appropriate repair of dural tears requires skill and the right surgical tools and well as appropriate assistive devices.. ...

The brain and the spinal cord have a protective layer called the dura mater. The dura mater is attached to the inside of the skull. Between the brain and the dura mater is the cerebral spinal fluid. The cerebral spinal fluid is the critical nutrient bath that nourishes the neurons of the central nervous system.. Important to the discussion of migraine headache is the realization that the dura mater itself contains blood vessels:. It is proposed that migraine headaches occur when the blood vessels of the dura mater dilate, depolarizing branches of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), sending the headache pain electrical signal to the trigeminocervical nucleus, then to the thalamus, then to the cortical brain where the pain is perceived (5, 7).. There is a synaptic communication between the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). The dilation of the dural blood vessels is via the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), from the parasympathetic production and ...

Abstract Polymorphism at codon 219 lysine in prion protein (PrP) is considered to affect the clinicopathological features of prion diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and to have an inhibiting effect on the pathogenesis of these diseases. We describe the first autopsied case of dura mater graft-associated CJD (dCJD) with heterozygosity of lysine at codon 219 in PrP observed in a Japanese subject. Although this case demonstrated the non-plaque type of dCJD and MM1 subgroup of CJD pathologically and biochemically, the patient demonstrated a long incubation period (19.3years), atypical periodic sharp-wave complexes with a dominant rhythm on EEG, partially scattered small deposits of plaque-like PrP along with synaptic type deposits of PrP on immunohistochemistry and an atypical MM1 glycosylation pattern with a relatively increased diglycosylated isoform of proteinase-resistant PrP on western blot analysis (i.e. MM1 variant pattern). These findings in this case were atypical of the ...

The spinal meninges are subdivided as the dura, arachnoid, and pia mater and are the connectivetissue membranes that surround and support the spinal cord and cauda equina. The outermost of the meninges is the dura mater, which is fibrous and tough and is anchored to the periosteum at the foramen magnum. The dura mater extends inferiorly to the sacrum. The extradural or epidural space (between dura mater and vertebral periosteum) contains fat, loose connective tissue, and venous plexuses. The arachnoid matter is the more delicate, membranous intermediate tissue that follows the dura inferiorly to S2 and laterally to intervertebral foramina. The subdural space, between dura mater and arachnoid mater, contains only a film of lubricating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The pia mater is the innermost membranous covering that adheres closely to the surface of the spinal cord, enclosing networks of blood vessels. The subarachnoid space, located between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater, contains CSF. ...

The outermost layer of the meninges and therefore closet to the skull is the Dura mater; it is a thick and tough layer composed of dense fibrous tissue which wraps almost entirely around the whole brain and spinal cord. There is little space between the Dura mater layer and the layer below/the bone above it, the exception to this is when (not in the meninges of the spinal cord) the Dura mater splits into two layers forming a gap between them, which is known as the venous sinus. The Dura contains larger blood vessels which split into the capillaries in the pia mater.. In the cranium, the Dura mater also acts as another layer of periosteum, however in the spine there is an epidural space (filled with fat) which separates the Dura mater and periosteum.. ...

Since the establishment of the first Mater hospital in 1906, Mater has sought to meet the health care needs of the community. As the Queensland population has continued to grow and expand to new areas, Mater has grown and expanded with it.. In 2010, Mater commenced a strategy to provide non-hospital health services for growing communities. Mater Health Centres provide opportunities for people to access exceptional care within their local area. Aside from the obvious benefit of building a healthy community, this helps to reduce demand on tertiary hospital services and limits the need for people to travel outside of their community for care.. Each of our Mater Health Centres provides services which are specifically relevant for the community they serve. Local consultations are offered by Mater specialists with surgical services available at Mater private hospitals in South Brisbane and Redland..

The Edinburgh Stereoscopic Atlas of Anatomy. Section-II-No.11. Head and Neck. Spinal Canal--No. 2. The posterior part of the skull has been removed and also the dura mater over the cerebellum and the upper part of the spinal cord. Dura mater. The cranial dura mater is adherent to the crainial wall, and serves as a periosteum to the inner surface of the cranial bones. It contains several large venous channels, many of which meet with one another at the internal occipital protuberance. Thus, at this place, the superior longitudinal sinus, which lie in the middle line and runs from in front to the back, meets the straight sinus, the orifice of which is seen, and the occipital sinus. The confluence of these channels constitutes the torcular Hierophili, and from it the lateral sinuses pass outwards on either side, lying between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The lumen of the sinuses is rather triangular in shape. Arachnoid. This is a delicate non-vascular membrane which invests the brain and cord. ...

Background: A complication of a silastic dural substitute is described, which appeared after 32 years-by far the longest latency period reported in the literature. Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: In 1971, a 20-year old woman suffered from an acute subdural haematoma and a temporal cerebral contusion due to a motorbike accident. She underwent an operation with evacuation of these and the dura was mended with a silastic duraplasty. Thirty-two years later she deteriorated with increased memory problems and dysphasia. CT revealed an expanding haemorrhagic mass around the previous duraplasty, which demanded surgery with removal of the silastic dural implant and evacuation of the haemorrhagic mass. Although the haemorrhagic mass enveloped the silastic implant, a contribution of the acrylate flap cannot be ruled out. Bacteriological cultures revealed Acinetobacter spp. in the CSF. Adequate post-operative antibiotic treatment was administered. The patient slowly improved, but the ...

Relatively common complications of cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy for patients with TBI include dural or brain injury due to peridural fibrosis and additional soft tissue remnants under the bone flap [3,5]. Moreover, increased adhesion formation makes the dissection of the dura more difficult and time-consuming, which results in a greater amount of blood loss, a longer duration of the operation, and increased frustration for the surgeon [9].. Various methods and anti-adhesive materials have been used to reduce dural adhesions after craniectomy. A polytetrafluoroethylene dural substitute [5], silicone elastomer sheets [4,10], sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose (Seprafilm®, Sanofi Genzyme, Cambridge, MA, USA) [9,11], an anti-adhesive film (Orthowrap™) [6], and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane [12] have all been used as barriers to prevent adhesions, and have shown promising results in terms of decreasing the total cranioplasty time and amount of blood ...

The most common cause of tension headaches is subluxations in the upper back and neck, especially the upper neck, usually in combination with active trigger points. When the top cervical vertebrae lose their normal motion or position, a small muscle called the rectus capitis posterior minor (RCPM) muscle goes into spasm. The problem is that this small muscle has a tendon which slips between the upper neck and the base of the skull and attaches to a thin pain-sensitive tissue called the dura mater that covers the brain. Although the brain itself has no feeling, the dura mater is very pain-sensitive. Consequently, when the RCPM muscle goes into spasm and its tendon tugs at the dura mater, a Headaches Santa Clara occurs. People who hold desk jobs will tend to suffer from headaches for this reason ...

Mater Research is planning the largest group cohort study in the state since the 1980s, aiming to follow 10 000 Queensland families over three decades, in collaboration with Queensland universities and hospitals..

Heres how that relationship works: The pelvis includes the root of the spine, your sacrum. Your jaw - mandible - is near the upper end of your spine, and it has a special relationship with C1 and C2, the uppermost vertebrae of your spine.. Because the opening/closing motion of the jaw is both hinging and gliding, the axis of rotation is not in the TMJs but is between these two vertebrae (Guzays theorem). When your jaw is misaligned, it affects these vertebrae, impacting spinal and head posture and neurological well-being.. How does that happen? The dura mater is a tough, inelastic membrane that lines the inside of your cranium and forms a loose sheath surrounding the spinal cord that is attached to C1, C2, and C3 and then descends all the way down to the sacrum.. When the jaw is not aligned, it torques the dura mater at the upper end of the spine, which translates all the way down to the sacrum. This torquing can cause scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis, pelvic rotation, head tilt, and cranial bone ...

The human brain is a soft, spongy collection of tissues and nerve cells. The main thing that protects the human brain is the bone of the skull encasing it. Then, there are three layers of membrane, called meninges that also aid in covering and protecting the brain. The three layers are the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. The dura mater is closest to the bone, the arachnoid is in the middle and loosely surrounds the brain, and the pia mater is closest to the brain and attached to the spinal cord surface. Finally, the cerebrospinal fluid, a clear body fluid, also cushions the brain. ...

This forward-head posture causes your head to be in an extended position, and thus puts pressure on the nerves that travel through the neck musculature. For every inch your head moves forwards, it gains 10 pounds in weight. The muscles need to work harder in order to keep the position.. Another interesting finding: A study in the journal Spine reported that the muscles involved in those with forward-head-posture connects to the dura mater (the outermost membranes covering the brain and spinal cord). Therefore it is concluded that the tight suboccipital muscles can cause tension on the dura mater, and contribute to headaches.. In a cadaver study, it was noted that 11 out of 13 cadavers had a connection between one of the suboccipital muscles and the spinal dura mater. A study done previous to this reported the connection is related to headaches.. This is where visiting your Chiropractor comes in handy. We can evaluate the daily stress you put on these upper neck muscles and treat them ...

These spaces are both easily discerned and hence are important guideline structures. Calcifications of the dura mater usually give no MR signal but ossifications may produce a low or, rarely, a high signal. 6 Clinical Value of the New Imaging Techniques The new imaging techniques (CT, CTA, MRI, MRA, PET, SPECT, and ultrasound) have changed our way of thinking and our method of practicing clinical medicine. This holds particularly true for diagnostic procedures of the cranial and spinal cavities. For good clinical practice, choosing the correct technique, and describing and evaluating the results of neuroimaging, functional neuroanatomic knowledge is essential.

Post-dural-puncture headache (PDPH) is a complication of puncture of the dura mater (one of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord).[1] The headache is severe and described as searing and spreading like hot metal, involving the back and front of the head, and spreading to the neck and shoulders, sometimes involving neck stiffness. It is exacerbated by movement, and sitting or standing, and relieved to some degree by lying down. Nausea, vomiting, pain in arms and legs, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness and paraesthesia of the scalp are common.[1] It is a common side-effect of spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture. Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid puncture causes reduced fluid levels in the brain and spinal cord. Onset occurs within two days in 66 percent and within three days in ninety percent of PDPH cases. It occurs so rarely immediately after puncture that other possible causes should be investigated when it does.[1] Using a pencil point rather than a cutting spinal ...

Scientists at EPFL in Switzerland have designed a spinal implant which can join severed ends of the spinal cord together allowing paralysed rats to walk again once more. The implant has been named e-Dura, short for Electronic Dura Mater because the device electronically mimics the function of the dura mater, a protective layer of tissue surrounding the spinal cord. Its function is to prevent foreign substances from entering and damaging the spinal cord.. The spinal cord itself bridges the gap between the brain (where most of the decision making process takes place) and the rest of the body. It contains bundles and bundles of nerve fibres containing sensory inputs into the brain and motor outputs leaving the brain. When the spinal cord is damaged, for example when it has been broken or severed, the result is a break in this connectivity. The brain can then no longer send signals to parts of the body below the damaged region. Paralysis can often result from injuries to the spinal cord, with ...

This study was performed to determine the clinical significance of diffuse dural enhancement (DDE) detected by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and to typify enhancing patterns related to inflammatory or metastatic causes. The authors retrospectively evaluated the clinical, imaging, and laboratory characteristics of 20 consecutive patients with DDE. Those with DDE and an underlying neoplastic disease (13 patients) were compared to 11 consecutive patients with cytological evidence of neoplastic leptomeningeal metastasis evaluated by MR imaging. The DDE was often associated with an underlying malignancy (13 (65%) of 20 patients) but it coexisted with leptomeningeal metastasis in only one patient. Skull metastases were evident in 10 (77%) of 13 patients and cranial nerve palsies in six (46%) of 13. Other causes of DDE were related to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or shunting (five (25%) of 20), with or without symptoms of intracranial hypotension, and to dural sinus thrombosis and pachymeningitis.

This articles focus has primarily centered around the negative effects spinal fixations (axis, sacrum and coccyx) have on the dura mater.

The dura has been exposed by removing part of the occipital bone and the arches of the upper five cervical vertebrae. The cranial dura mater is continuous through the foramen magnum (15) with that which covers the spinal cord. The spinal dura is separated from the wall of the vertebral canal by the epidural space which contains fat and plexiform veins. In the cervical region this space is narrow and the veins are small. Below the foramen magnum the dura is fused with the posterior atlanto-occipital membrane (16) so that above the level of the atlas no epidural space is present ...

OBJECTIVE: The need to repair dural defects has prompted the use of dura mater substitutes. Many synthetic materials have been used for dural closure. Neuro-Patch (B. Braun Médical S.A., Boulogne, France) is a nonabsorbable microporous fleece composed of polyester urethane that has been approved for human use by the European Union since 1995. To the best of our knowledge, no clinical series with Neuro-Patch have been published thus far, particularly with regard to septic complications. The aim of our study was to compare the safety of Neuro-Patch with that of pericranium graft with regard to postoperative wound infections ...

Patients with problems in mandibles often have tilt of 1st and 2nd cervical vertebra and in this case, one may feel pain from the dura mater pulled to the side from the discord. In case of maxilla covering mandible, inturned teeth or buckteeth, or when mouth left untreated after incision of a tooth, patients with worn out molars have one side of Lateral Pterygoid Muscle shorter than other that the sphenoid bone gets tightened as a result. Then the dura mater connected to the sphenoid one would get pulled to the side end up causing headache. Also, when dura mater gets pulled or contorted, the parasympathetic nerve in the head gets stimulated thus will accelerate its function which would speed up the excretion of saliva and tears and accelerates the production of cerebrospinal fluid causing inter-pressure in the head that would cause such a painful headache ...

Aim of the present paper is to evaluate the possible correlation between the intensity of the finding and the medium and long term outcome in a group of patients. Materials and Methods: A group of 105 patients consecutively ...

Epidural or extradural hematoma (haematoma) is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in which a buildup of blood occurs between the dura mater (the tough outer membrane of the central nervous system) and the skull. The dura mater also covers the spine, so epidural bleeds may also occur in the spinal column. Often due to trauma, the condition is potentially deadly because the buildup of blood may increase pressure in the intracranial space and compress delicate brain tissue. The condition is present in one to three percent of head injuries. Between 15 and 20% of patients with epidural hematomas die of the injury ...

Also known as Cranial Sacral Therapy, CFD has been in development by Osteopathic Doctors since the early 1900s. The bones of the cranium (skull) are not fused (as is commonly thought) but are actually joints that have the capacity to move. The movement of these joints, although slight, is essential in order for space to be made for the new cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) to flow through the ventricles in the brain and eventually flow out to the rest of the body. Cranial Sacral Therapy gently and non-invasively restores (or at least improves) this essential mobility that has been lost due to recent and past trauma (even trauma from birth).. Cranial Sacral Therapy also helps to relax the membrane Dura Mater which covers the brain, spinal cord, and entire nervous system. This membrane is like a muscle in that it can contract and go into a spasm. Did you know that the Dura Mater has to stretch 4 to 6 inches in order for you to touch your toes?. As a treatment technique, CFD is used used to facilitate ...

Inside the human skull we have what are called the falx cerebri (pictured below), a structure typically present within the skulls of species that possess gyrencephalic brains. These incredible extensions of the dura mater, a protective covering of brain tissue, plunge down in between the cerebral hemispheres to block them from damaging each other. An additional projection extends from the skull wall to separate the hemispheres from the cerebellum. These structures are so rigid that during an extreme trauma such as a car accident or a blast-traumatic brain injury, the rotational forces generated can cause the brain matter to contact the falx cerebri and sheer the brain tissue like a hot knife through warm butter. Brain tissue is that weak. Now, imagine the incredible task of the neurosurgeon. In the more commonly performed modern procedure, the functional hemispherectomy, the neurosurgeon must navigate and sever all connections of epileptic hemisphere from the healthy half of your brain. As I am ...

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY. Craniosacral Therapy focuses on the bodys cerebrospinal fluid and fascial membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord and their connection with every structure in the body. Through gentle, non-invasive touch a practitioner releases craniosacral and fascial restrictions to improve the overall functioning of the central nervous system. Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on technique which detects and re-aligns imbalances in the bony structures, soft tissues and the rhythmical flow of fluids throughout the craniosacral system.. Craniosacral Therapy creates more space for the brain, organs and tissues to function, allowing physical and emotional challenges to be dealt with and resolved more easily. By re-aligning and rebalancing the craniosacral system, the brain and spinal cord are provided with the necessary nutrition from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Craniosacral therapy directly impacts the central nervous system, thus any imbalance in this system could ...

While searching for T-cell pathways in and out of the meninges, the researchers found functional lymphatic vessels lining the dural sinuses of dissected mouse brain meninges. The dural sinuses drain blood from both internal and external veins in the brain into the internal jugular veins. The identified structures expressed all of the molecular hallmarks of lymphatic endothelial cells (eg, expression of the main transcription factor of these cell types, Prox1), were able to carry both fluid (determined by injection of fluorescein and a fluorescent tracer dye) and immune cells (using immunohistochemistry) from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and were connected to the deep cervical lymph nodes.. The authors also subsequently examined autopsy specimens of human dura, including the superior sagittal sinus. They identified a potentially similar lymphatic structure in human dura, but further studies are needed to assess and characterize the location and organization of meningeal lymphatics in the human ...

For this reason, I use a lot of CranioSacral Therapy and Myofascial Release in my work. CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive modality. The CranioSacral system extends from the occiput (in the area of the poll), down the spine to the coccyx (tailbone) and is comprised of three layers of membranes. The outermost layer is the dura mater which is a tough, waterproof membrane that houses the brain and spinal cord. The next layer is the arachnoid layer, and the inner layer is the pia mater which adheres snugly to the inside of the spinal cord. These membranes are constantly bathed in fluid. This fluid is known as the cerebrospinal fluid. It pulses throughout the life of the horse (also all other animals as well as humans) and influences the movement of the skull bones and the connective tissue (fascia). ...

There can be little doubt that the vessel of the histological study drained blood from the retina directly to the pia mater. Material was not available to trace the further course of the retinopial vein. Its size, although small compared with the central retinal vein, was large enough to have drained a substantial area of the temporal retina. There is some doubt as to whether the retina was free of pathology, even though none was reported, as deep cupping of a small area of the disc was present. However, the possibility that the retinopial vein represented a pathological development is unlikely. Where development of supplementary venous drainage from the eye at the disc has been reported, drainage is to the choroid via optociliary veins, not to the optic nerve, and is regarded as a response to obstruction of venous blood flow from the retina.3-5 Moreover, it is associated with a lengthy history of blindness.. A recently reported superior hemiretinal retinal vein that appeared ophthalmoscopically ...

Both the blood brain barrier and the blood CSF barrier tightly regulate the CNS fluid interstitial fluid environment of the CNS. You, however, are talking about a different barrier, the barrier formed by the pia mater, sometimes called the brain/CSF barrier. This barrier is less well studied. It does appear to prevent transport of particulate matter and red blood cells, but allow the passage of immune cells and small molecules. In addition to your professors statement that the composition of CSF and brain interstitial fluid is similar, intrathecal injection directly into the CSF in the subarachnoid space provides an effective way to deliver drugs with CNS action, suggesting the pia mater does not effectively restrict small molecules (see Goodman and Gilmans The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics Ch 2).. ...

am I the only one who thinks that Kraid looks like Kermit? A green frog. The inventor of Kermit, Jim Henson, died from AIDS. Note: krAIDS lair, contains AIDS and liar. Kermit contains the letters for krem, the German word for cream when you use the old spelling. Krebs is the German word for cancer. It starts with KR, just like Kraid. Maridia lacks only two letters and then you get mare and India. Sea and India. When you think of India, youll probably associate it with curry. And the German word for sea is Meer. So youd come up with Mercury, just like Freddy Mercury, who had died from AIDS about the time Super Metroid was released. When you rearrange the letters of Norfair, you get Air Fron, like air front.

The Mercy International centre is a house of Heritage, Hospitality and Renewal. It was built by Catherine McAuley with a legacy received from William Callaghan. She bought a site in Baggot Street so that the rich could see the plight of the poor. It opened in 1827 as a school for the education of poor young girls and a residence for homeless girls and women.. Catherine did not intend to found a religious order but in order to give stability to the work, she agreed to do so. The building became the first Convent of Mercy in 1831. From this first branch many other convents were established in Ireland and abroad. In 1851 Sr. Vincent Whitty, one of Catherines early companions, purchased land in Eccles Street and began the development of the Mater Hospital which opened in 1861. The modern Mater Private Hospital was opened in 1986.. In the early 1990s the Sisters of Mercy from all over the world agreed that Catherines original house belonged to the whole Mercy Family. The building was refurbished ...

An intracranial hemorrhage is the accumulation of blood anywhere within the cranial vault. A cerebral hemorrhage is bleeding within the brain tissue. Causes: A cerebral hemorrhage can be due to either A. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage B. Intraventricular hemorrhage(blood in the ventricular system). C. Extradural hemorrhage (An extradural hemorrhage is bleeding between the inside of the skull and the outer covering of the brain) D. Subdural hemorrhage: ( is a type of hematoma, usually associated with traumatic brain injury. Blood gathers between the dura mater, and the brain) E. Sub Arachinoid hemorrhage: (is bleeding into the subarachnoid space-the area between thearachnoid membrane and the pia mater surrounding the brain. This may occur spontaneously, usually from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, or may result fromhead injury.

CSF protects the brain inside the skull, acting as a buffer from impact. It also supplies nutrients to the brain and spinal cord. Skull fractures can cause a tear into the dura mater and cause CSF to leak out into spaces and drain through the ears or nose. The CSF fluid mixes with blood, and the elements of the fluid separate and form rings or a halo. When the drainage tests positive for glucose, it is indicative of CSF. Treatment used is an epidural blood patch, which is an injection of the clients blood into the epidural space, thus forming a clot and sealing the leak.. ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four hundred patients with intact skull, dura mater, and dural sinuses underwent MR imaging to explore arachnoids protruding into the skull and diploic veins. Patients with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure or intracranial hypotension were excluded. For 15 patients undergoing craniotomy, both peripheral and diploic venous blood was collected. Albumin and the CSF-specific biomarkers were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ...

Large cerebral vessels, pial vessels, the venous sinuses and dura mater are all innervated by small diameter myelinated and unmyelinated neurones serving nociception. Moskowitz showed in rats that migraine pain may be a form of sterile neurogenic inflammation with plasma extravasation with mast cell degranulation and platelet aggregation.5 Cortical spreading depression may activate trigeminal neurones, particularly the ophthalmic division, release substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide. This sterile inflammatory response may lead to allodynia (perceived pain from a normally non-painful stimulus) in the trigeminal area, sensitisation of thalamic neurones and an important central nervous system role. ...

BM is usually blood-borne, and most often associated with a systemic infection. From the clinical standpoint, it is important to confirm or exclude sepsis since it substantially compromises the patients prognosis. Initially bacteria accumulate in the lumen of choroid plexus capillaries located in the cerebral ventricles and in the small and medium-sized vessels of the subarachnoid space, where they induce an inflammatory response. Developing vasculitis leads to the inflammation of the arachnoid, dura mater and pia mater.. As a result of disruption to the blood-brain barrier, bacteria and inflammatory mediators (acute-phase proteins, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, among others) penetrate to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thus exacerbating inflammation. In the acute phase cerebral vessels become dilated with increasing blood flow due to the influence of bacterial toxins. In later phases blood flow is reduced, which is associated with impaired vascular autoregulation(4). The cytotoxic activity of ...

One of the major challenges in neural engineering is the tissue damage that occurs during insertion of microelectrodes into the central nervous system. The damage occurs as a result of the dimpling effect that is due to the insertion force. A method which can reduce the penetration force can also reduce dimpling and the resulting tissue damage. There are two objectives in this thesis. One is to measure the penetration force with Michigan electrodes, which are silicon based electrodes. The second is to reduce the penetration force by using mechanical vibrations. First, the penetration force was measured in the rat brain. To measure the penetration force, the microelectrode was connected to a load transducer. Because dura is a tough membrane to penetrate, it is usually removed during surgery in experimental animals. The dura mater was not removed in these experiments in order to keep the intactness of the cortex. The microelectrode was pulsed at a rate of 5 Hz using a piezoelectric crystal and a pulse

mouth (which make up the cranium) and down the spine to the sacrum, near the tailbone area.. This CranioSacral system plays a vital role in maintaining the environment in which the Central Nervous System (CNS) functions. The CNS monitors and responds to everything which is happening in the body. Since the brain and spinal cord are contained within the CranioSacral system, it is easy to see how it has a powerful influence over a wide variety of bodily functions.. The brain and the spinal cord, (CNS), are the central components of the CranioSacral system, and so it is of utmost importance that we keep this system in the best state possible.. CranioSacral therapy frees up the tissues in and around the CranioSacral system to enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF nourishes, protects and cleanses the Central Nervous System and enhances nerve conductivity. Improved flow of CSF provides the body with resources, allowing it to better perform, to heal itself and to restore functions to a ...
