Comparison of Cerebrospinal Fluid Opening Pressure in Children
Comparison of [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27909013"][U]Cerebrospinal Fluid Opening Pressure[/U][/URL] in Children With Demyelinating Disease to Children With Primary Intracranial Hypertension.
[QUOTE][B]Abstract[/B]
The authors aimed to compare the opening pressures of children with demyelinating disease to children with primary intracranial hypertension.
Medical records were reviewed for a primary diagnosis of demyelinating disease, or primary intracranial hypertension. Diagnosis of demyelinating disease was made according to either the 2007 or 2012 International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study Group criteria. Primary intracranial hypertension diagnosis was confirmed by presence of elevated opening pressure, normal cerebrospinal fluid composition and neuroimaging.
The authors compared 14 children with demyelinating disease to children with primary intracranial hypertension in 1:1 and 1:2 fashions.
There was a statistically significant higher BMI in the primary intracranial hypertension group compared to the demyelinating group (P = .0203). The mean cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count was higher in the demyelinating disease group compared to primary intracranial hypertension (P = .0002).
Among both comparisons, the cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure, glucose, protein and red blood cell counts in children with demyelinating disease were comparable to age- and sex-matched controls with primary intracranial hypertension.[/QUOTE]
Van Joan:
[QUOTE]Children with pediatric MS were compared to children with intracranial hypertension. And both groups were found to have similar CSF fluid opening pressure. Is MS a disease of blocked CSF flow creating intracranial hypertension? Here's another paper pointing in this direction--as this is not a mouse model, but seen in humans.[/QUOTE]

[I]2016 proved to be a banner year for break through Multiple Sclerosis research.[/I]
Met een wens voor 2017.

2017 will only further our understanding of the connection of the brain to the rest of the body, and how the vasculature is implicated in the MS disease process.
Until we know more, live your best, vascularly healthy life.
Move as much as you can, as often as you can. Eat organic whole, colorful foods full of phytonutrients. Get your UV rays and Vitamin D. Get good sleep and manage your stress levels. Don't smoke or eat junk food. Stay hopeful.
There are better days ahead.
Promise,
Joan
