Abstract

Object

Besides mechanical damage done by the enlarging ventricles, biochemical impairment in the periventricular tissue represents an important factor resulting from or contributing to the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus. In this study the changes in periventricular region total sialic acid levels in the early stage of experimentally induced hydrocephalus were evaluated.

Methods

Hydrocephalus was induced in 3-week-old rat pups by kaolin injection into the cisterna magna. Ten days after hydrocephalus induction rats were sacrificed and total sialic acid levels in the periventricular area were determined by the thiobarbituric acid method.

Conclusion

Sialic acid, a vital component of brain gangliosides, which play an essential role in the transmission and storage of information in the brain, was found to be significantly decreased in the periventricular area of hydrocephalic infantile rats.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
