Shunting to the Sagittal Sinus
To develop a shunt that drains CSF from the ventricles to the sagittal sinus under normal-physiological conditions. This shunting principle will not lead to any over-drainage, and a large proportion of the kno...

Shunting Effects in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Correlation with Cerebral and Leptomeningeal Biopsy Findings
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a potentially treatable syndrome with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. Meningeal fibrosis and/or obliteration of the subarachnoid space have been suggested as one ...

The effect of nimodipine on autoregulation of cerebral blood flow after subarachnoid haemorrhage in rat
Disturbance of the autoregulation of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) is frequently seen following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and is possibly partly caused by cerebral ischaemia. It is well-known, that the ca...
