In what represents its first patenting, Rhovica Neuroimaging AG seeks protection for an external ventricular drainage catheter for the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid to reduce intracranial pressure.

Charlottesville, VA (August 20, 2013). Researchers at Duke University conducted a randomized clinical trial in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this study, the researchers compared two ...

Researchers in Switzerland suggest that helping the brain to flush out toxic proteins could represent a new approach to preventing or treating age-related neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system-a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...

Uncontrolled over-drainage of cerebral spinal fluid could lead to neurological injury or death if the disconnection is undetected. There have been 26 reported injuries. There have been no reports of ...

The choroid plexus produces about a half-liter of cerebrospinal fluid daily, meaning this much must be drained from the cranial cavity into the bloodstream. A new study led by Steven Proulx, Swiss ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science discovered that stimulating lymphatic vessels under the skin can improve cerebrospinal fluid drainage, aiding the removal of brain waste. This ...
