Posture Effects on CSF Pressure Gradients & Dynamics
4th International CSF Hydrodynamics Symposium
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 19-20, 2017
Dr. Marijan Klarica (University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia) discusses how posture can affect pressure as well as his interesting work that suggests that "normal" intracranial pressure may be negative in value, which has implications for patients when they are being monitored for ICP. The full title of this presentation was: "Posture effects on CSF pressure gradients and dynamics: does normal intracranial pressure have sub-atmospheric (negative) value?" This presentation was given at the 4th International CSF Hydrodynamics Symposium, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. (2017)
This presentation was given at the 4th International CSF Hydrodynamics Symposium, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This biennial conference brings together scientists, engineers, clinicians and mathematicians from around the world to discuss the underlying mechanisms that cause disorders of CSF flow, like
syringomyelia and
Chiari malformation.
Participants discuss their own research and bounce ideas off one another to better comprehend these poorly understood mechanisms. Thanks to
Dr. John Oshinski and
Dr. M. Keith Sharp for organizing this year's scientific program.
CSF is proud to once again support this incredible meeting of the minds. This support is made possible by a generous grant from the Monkton Institute, Inc.
