tell me about normal pressure hydrosyphalus or nph.?

Normal pressure hydrocephalus, or NPH, is a condition that is one treatable cause of dementia. The terminology means simply that the pressure inside the head is normal, unlike the "usual" forms of hydrocephalus. This may imply some degree of brain atrophy beyond that which normally occurs with aging.\n\nSymptoms may include cognitive changes, unsteady gait, and urinary incontinence. If it progresses it may be treated using a shunting procedure, which involves surgically implanting a drainage device, or shunt, from the brain to another suitable body cavity to restore the normal fluid balance and thus relieve the symptoms.

If you mean DETRUSITOL, the information can be found here: http://www.nps.org.au/cmi_pdf/pfcdetrt11104.pdf

means u have hydrocephaly,u might have blocage in the out flow of csf in ur brain.which might lead to increased intracranial pressure.

the above is mostly correct. Ideal BP would be 115/75 according to JNC 7 guidelines.  Systolic below 80-90 or diastolic below 60 or so would indicate low BP. However everyone is different and some people have BP's of 90/60 and are very healthy-low is verified by lower than normal BP with symptoms of hypotension Such as Lightheaded, dizzy, loss of consciousness 'rapid heart rate in attempt to counteract the low BP, volume depilated either dehydration or loss of Blood, etc.\n\nBP's stated above are in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) the common  standard in U.S.

Normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80mmHg.More than 30 above or below this value of 120 and more than 20 above or below this value of 80 is abnormal.This means 90/60mmHg may be normal for a non-pregnant,healthy adult female,and 140/90 for a healthy adult man are all within normal limits.\n Below 90/60mmHg,one is hypotensive or has low blood pressure.\nAbove 140/90mmHg,one is hypertensive or has high blood pressure.\n This is a useful guide,but there are other factors that are taken into consideration which are too complex to fully cover here.\nHope this helps you.

i am a nurse practitioner. something that could be going on is that this BP reading is TOO LOW for this person. they need to see a healthcare professional and be thoroughly evaluated. They will ask questions about normal BP readings for this person, risk for strokes, risk for clogged arteries, and even evaluate for something as simple as excess fluid in the ear. Only someone seeing this person in real life can help well.

I hope you have not been waiting for this long. Don't adjust the pressure yourself- do you use for sleep apnea..?\nCall the home health people and tell them to come and sort it out right now.

I have it.\n\nIt's a condition in which the brain either overproduces cerebro-spinal fluid, or this fluid doesn't drain correctly.  Either way, the fluid build up puts pressure on the brain which can cause symptoms that mimic those found in patients with brain tumor.  Common symptoms include severe headache that may be positional, decreased visual field, and a "whooshing" sound, called pulsile tintinitis.  Diagnostic medical findings are swollen optic nerve heads, decreased field of vision, and increased CSF upon spinal tap.  \n\nTreatments range from diet, exercise, and management thru taps, to pharmaceutical treatment as well as the placement of VP and LP shunts.\n\nThere's nothing "pseudo" about it.  The pain is real.  The physical damage it can cause is real.  The debilitation is real.  This is NOT an "it's all in your head" disease.

I don't understand your question. Until emptiness? Are you talking about hydrocephalus or some other disease state?\n\nEDIT: Hmm. Now I better understand your question, but I have to admit I don't know the answer, it's not my area. It does sound rather severe. A Neurosurgeon is the best person to ask, if you have not already had an appointment with one. Is this congenital (child was born with this)?

It is difficult to say without further details, but you could use a centrifugal pump or even a progressive cavity pump.  This is because of the high-head, low-flow you are likely to encounter.  \n\nThe PCP would provide a substantial amount of pressure without the pulsations you would get with a positive displacement pump.  You would have to provide over-pressure protection.\n\nGoogle "filter press" centrifugal "progressive cavity pump"

anywhere from none to med. extreme kinda scares me. average btw

I can assure you that it doesn't stand for 'Bad Prostate!' Blood pressure is the answer you're seeking and in a normal young male it should be less than 120/80 mm. of Hg..

I have one baby. On my due date I was measured at 3 cm dialated. 4 days later, my water broke (on its own) and I started having contractions 8 minutes apart. An hour later they were 5 minutes apart, and an hour later they were 4 minutes apart. Then the midwife said to come in, and I had my son 6 hrs and 20 min after my water broke. I had him at a free-standing birth center, so I had no drugs or anything to alter my labor.

Sure, there's no problem. I think that you are confusing this with rh problems that a developing baby can have, but its unrelated to this.

It's not normal to have abnormal flow. See a doctor. You could become anemic.
