  • Shunt infection: How it develops and how it can be prevented
    • Shunt therapy is the most common treatment for hydrocephalus, but carries the risk of serious complications such as shunt infections. Find out more about symptoms, causes, treatment options and preventive approaches such as antibiotic-impregnated catheters.
  • LP shunt vs. VP shunt
    • The choice between LP and VP shunt is essential for the successful treatment of hydrocephalus. This article provides a detailed comparison, looking at the indications, benefits and potential risks of both types of implantation - informed insights for better treatment decisions.
  • The measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP)
    • The measurement and interpretation of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a very helpful aid in the diagnosis and treatment of many brain diseases. The article explains the technical requirements for ICP measurements, the interpretation of ICP values in intracranial pressure measurements and their significance for effective treatment planning.
  • The Innovative Leap to Telemetric Pressure Sensors
    • Telemetric pressure sensors are setting new standards in the hydrocephalus shunt therapy. The article analyzes the technical limitations of conventional ICP sensors and presents trend-setting innovations in the field of measurement with telemetric pressure sensors - for more precise and efficient treatments.
  • Over- and underdrainage - the most common “side effects” of shunt systems
    • Shunt systems in hydrocephalus therapy have a long history, but over- and underdrainage are still common complications with their potential consequences, such as slit ventricle syndrome. The article looks at the causes, consequences and therapeutic approaches of both problems and discusses whether gravitational technology offers a possible remedy.
  • Foundations of fluid mechanics, or of beakers, bottles and people
    • The article introduces fluid mechanics and explains how the cerebrospinal fluid works in the human brain. It explains the hydrodynamics in the shunt system and shows why the circulation and pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid are important factors for optimizing shunt therapies.

Nonliability

With its judgement the regional court of Hamburg decided on 05/12/1998 that in some cases one is responsible for the content of linked pages. This can only be prohibited by explicitly dissociating from the content of this page. On our page we have set links to other pages on the internet. Applies to all links: With direct or indirect links to other websites, that are out of the area of responsibilities of the site operator, a liability would only take place if the operator knows about the content of the website and if it would be reasonable and technically possible for the operator to prevent the usage of a page with illegal content. Hence the site operator explicitly declares that at the time of link setting there was no illegal content on the linked pages. He has no influence on the present and future design and content of the linked page. Hereby he dissociates from all contents that were changed after the link setting. This statement counts for all links and references that were made within this webpage. For all illegal, incorrect and incomplete content and especially for damage that emerges out of the usage or non-usage of such information, only the provider of the linked page is legally responsible, not the one who just refers to the publication through a link.
