The time course of post-lumbar puncture headache

Abstract

According to the leakage theory, the time taken for pain to develop upon rising to the upright position will increase during the time course of post-lumbar puncture headache (PPH) as a consequence of the decreasing size of the healing dural rent, and the pain will decline. The aim of the present prospective study was to test this hypothesis, and to describe the temporal course of time and pain variables in PPH. The study showed that the course was fairly stable for all variables except on the first day, the second last day, and the last day. In the recumbent position, the headache was more severe on the first day (p<0.05) and milder on the last day (p<0.001) compared with the interim days; maximal headache in the upright position was milder on the second last (p<0.005) and last days (p<0.0001). Compared with the interim days, the time prior to increase of pain upon rising was shorter on the first day (p<0.05) and longer on the last day (p<0.001), and from start of increase until maximum was longer on the last day (p<0.01). The time to pain relief upon lying down did not vary significantly throughout the PPH period. The mobility of the patient as expressed by the PPH grade was fairly stable throughout the course of PPH until it ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
