This case highlights the importance of prompt CSF diversion and cardiac support for acute hydrocephalus presenting with heart failure in the pediatric population.
We identified the pathological GM-CSF-producing cardiac fibroblast subset and the specific deletion of IL-17A signaling to these cells attenuated cardiac inflammation and heart failure.
In this study we demonstrate that pleural fluids (PF) obtained from patients with empyema (EMP) contains significantly higher levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and PMN incubated in empyema (EMP) pleural fluid (PF) showed significantly less apoptosis than congestive heart failure (CHF) PF.
