Article Abstract

Neural stem cells (NSCs) hold a very significant promise as candidates for cell therapy due to their robust neuroprotective and regenerative properties. Preclinical studies using NSCs have shown enough encouraging results to perform deeper investigations into more potential clinical applications. Nevertheless, our knowledge regarding neurogenesis and its underlying mechanisms remains incomplete. To understand them better, it seems necessary to characterize all components of neural stem cell niche and discover their role in physiology and pathology. Using NSCs brings challenges including limited cell survival and still inadequate integration within host tissue. Identifying overlooked factors that might influence these outcomes becomes pivotal. In this review, we take a deeper examination of the influence of a fundamental element that is present in the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which still remains relatively unexplored. Its role in neurogenesis could be instrumental to help find novel therapeutic solutions for neurological disorders, eventually advancing our knowledge on central nervous system (CNS) regeneration and repair.

Background: Meningitis following cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Current strategies for prevention, therapeutic options, and surgical timing lack consensus due to insufficient risk stratification tools. This study aimed to identify meningitis risk determinants and develop a predictive model to facilitate early detection in CSF leak patients.

Objective: This study aimed to identify distinct REM sleep characteristics that differentiate type 1 narcolepsy (NT1) from type 2 narcolepsy (NT2) using polysomnography (PSG), while acknowledging the need for future validation against other hypersomnia disorders.

Methods: A retrospective review included 31 patients with NT1, 21 patients with NT2, and 24 healthy participants. Each participant underwent overnight PSG and a subsequent multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) to assess REM sleep parameters including average REM density, neck myoclonus index, and leg movement index.

In this report, we present the case of a 39-year-old immunocompetent female with acute meningitis/encephalitis secondary to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). Her initial symptoms included fever, hallucinations, and tremors, which prompted a broad diagnostic workup for infectious and autoimmune causes of encephalopathy. Her cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) initially tested negative for viral pathogens.

Salicylate toxicity usually occurs as a result of elevated serum salicylate concentrations. Salicylate concentrations can be measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but the interpretation of these values is less well understood. Two phenomena believed to be associated with salicylate toxicity are neuroglycopenia and salicylate-induced coagulopathy, but these cases are typically not well-characterized.
