A Brief Overview of the Cerebrospinal Fluid System and Its Implications for Brain and Spinal Cord Diseases Thea Overgaard Wichmann, Helle Hasager Damkier, Michael Pedersen A comprehensive understanding of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) system is essential for our understanding of health and...

Direction and magnitude of cerebrospinal fluid flow vary substantially across central nervous system diseases Per Kristian Eide, Lars Magnus Valnes, Erika Kristina Lindstrøm, Kent-Andre Mardal, Geir Ringstad Background Respiration-induced pressure changes represent a powerful driving force of...

Spinal CSF flow in response to forced thoracic and abdominal respiration Gökmen Aktas, Jost M. Kollmeier, Arun A. Joseph, Klaus-Dietmar Merboldt, Hans-Christoph Ludwig, Jutta Gärtner, Jens Frahm, Steffi Dreha-Kulaczewski Background Respiration-induced pressure changes represent a powerful...

Protein biomarker profiles in serum and CSF in 158 patients with PTLDS or persistent symptoms after presumed tick-bite exposure compared to those in patients with confirmed acute neuroborreliosis Abstract Background Current diagnostics for patients with lingering symptoms categorized as...

Steven E Schutzer, Tao Liu, Chia-Feng Tsai, Vladislav A Petyuk, Athena Schepmoes, Yi-Ting Wang, Karl Weitz, Jonas Bergquist, Richard Smith, Benjamin Natelson preprint Abstract Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia have overlapping neurologic symptoms...

Cerebrospinal fluid regulates skull bone marrow niches via direct access through dural channels Jose A. Mazzitelli, Leon C. D. Smyth, Kevin A. Cross, Taitea Dykstra, Jerry Sun, Siling Du, Tornike Mamuladze, Igor Smirnov, Justin Rustenhoven and Jonathan Kipnis It remains unclear how immune cells...

Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) frequently develop acute encephalopathy and encephalitis, but whether these complications are the result from viral-induced cytokine storm syndrome or anti-neural autoimmunity is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic...

Abstract Background The tryptophan–kynurenine–nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidized; NAD+) pathway is closely associated with regulation of immune cells toward less inflammatory phenotypes and may exert neuroprotective effects. Investigating its regulation in central nervous system (CNS)...

Significance Tight regulation of the brain microenvironment is fundamental to proper neurologic function. The restriction of molecule entry into the central nervous system from the brain vascular endothelium has been well studied; however, far less is known about the molecular events that...

I thought this might be of interest. It's a pretty outrageous tale of a woman who had a lumber puncture. Had all the symptoms of having had a lumber puncture but her doctors discharged her repeatedly, refused to take obs, to try and get rid of her, and had a visiting neurologist gave her the...

I just wanted to share an article that was recently posted to our Facebook group on ME/CFS and structural diagnoses. A woman in it who meets ME/CFS criteria was recently diagnosed with bilateral internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS). This is considered a congenital condition, however she never...

Chronic fatigue syndrome is NOT all in the mind - but caused by changes in brain chemistry, a study finds "Spinal taps before exercise showed miRNA levels were the same in all participants suffering from chronic fatigue, Gulf War Illness and a control group. But chronic fatigue syndrome...

New Baraniuk paper on CSF after exercise looks to be coming out Does anybody know what this is about? Brain chemistry study shows chronic fatigue syndrome, Gulf War illness as unique disorders Eurekalert science news Was sent by a friendly journalist. I cannot seem to access it.
