CSF Absorption - new and old idea (Power Point Presentation)
Dan GreitzCurriculums:
The power point presentation addresses a new view on CSF circulation and production. The old model of CSF circulation is that there is bulk flow of CSF from the intraventricular plexus to the arachnoid granulations. The new model is that CSF is produced and absorbed by the brain capillaries. Studies are shown to support the new model. The conclusion of the presentation is 1. The major part of the CSF is produced and absorbed by the brain capillaries; 2. Brain capillaries actively transport water-soluble molecules from the brain, 3. Active transport from brain to blood is a prerequisite for brain homeostasis.
Visceral massage reduces postoperative ileus in a rat model
Susan L.Shapelle,RMTa, Geoffrey M.BoveDC, PhDbCurriculums:
Abdominal surgery invariably causes a temporary reduction of normal intestinal motility, called postoperative ileus. Postoperative ileus extends hospital stays, increases the costs of hospitalization, and may contribute to the formation of postoperative adhesions. We designed experiments to determine if visceral massage affects postoperative ileusin a rat model.
