Overcoming hydrocephalus

Very early in development but interesting to say the least (animation in link) "While it's still early in the development of this technology, we believe it has the potential to transform the treatment of patients who deal with the shortcomings of our current, 60-year-old open surgical approach," http://cerevasc.com/treatment-of-hydrocephalus/

  "PV (Programmable Shunt Valves) treatment is safe and may reduce the revision rate and over- or under-drainage complication rate, especially in patients aged less than 18 years with hydrocephalus. PV treatment is not associated with decreased overall complication rates in  patients with hydrocephalus , but the trial sequential analysis indicate more studies are needed to confirm this result." –International Journal of Surgery V44, 8/2017, pages 139-146 International Journal of Surgery Volume 44 , August 2017, Pages 139-146     http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1743919117305411   Sent from my iPhone

My interview with Dr. Harris has been published "Inside the Harris Shunt lab & examining the fully funded MAG project".  Dr. Harris is a champion for research of hydrocephalus and directs the shunt lab at Wayne State in Detroit, MI. None of this would of been possible without the PHF and generous donors like you! http://www.hydrocephaluskids.org/files/DrHarrisInterview.pdf

"Children are rarely taught how to be open to disabilities and that it's OK to become friends with someone no matter who they are or the disability they might have" https://cerebralpalsynewstoday.com/2017/08/29/cp-experience-an-open-letter-to-parents-about-kids-and-disability/
