Article Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding regulatory RNAs that regulate gene expression at the -posttranscriptional level. Although circulating miRNAs in human body fluids have recently been recognized as disease biomarkers, especially in the field of oncology, little is known about the miRNAs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This chapter describes the feasibility of miRNAs in CSF as biomarkers for the diagnosis of brain diseases and the methods of miRNA isolation from CSF.

Complex partial seizures with orofacial involvement in 35 cats: MRI changes, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies and survival.
J Feline Med Surg
September 2025
Department for Small Animals, Veterinary Faculty, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany.
ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) antibodies and the pattern of MRI changes in cats with complex partial seizures with orofacial involvement (CPSOFI), as well as to investigate whether there are factors influencing survival that could be used as prognostic markers in those cats.MethodsCats with CPSOFI were identified retrospectively. The following data were retrieved from the hospital database: signalment, age at first seizure and presentation, the presence of antibodies against VGKC (leucine-rich glioma inactivating factor 1 (LGI1), contactin-associated protein 2 (CASPR2)) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis findings.

Cilia are membrane-covered hair-like organelles built on specialized centrioles and conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. They are either motile or immotile, serving respectively as versatile signaling antennae or elegant beating nanomachines. Accordingly, their dysfunctions cause a wide variety of developmental and degenerative disorders, which in human are syndromes termed ciliopathies.

Background: Spinal cord perfusion impairment is a critical secondary mechanism in acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Although lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is widely used in cardiothoracic surgery, its use in SCI remains limited. This study presents an evaluation of the safety and feasibility of lumbar CSF drainage with intrathecal pressure (ITP) and spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) monitoring in acute SCI patients.

Background: HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis case fatality remains greater than 25%. Co-prevalent infections might contribute to poor outcomes. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence and the clinical significance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus co-infections in patients with cryptococcal meningitis to guide potential therapeutic interventions.
