Chronic hydrocephalus is a complex neurological disorder characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain's ventricular system, leading to elevated intracranial pressure. This paper investigates the intricate interplay between fluid dynamics and hemodynamic interactions in the context of chronic hydrocephalus. By reviewing the current state of knowledge regarding the pathophysiology and mechanisms behind this condition, this study aims to deepen our understanding of the fluid dynamics and hemodynamic factors contributing to the development and progression of chronic hydrocephalus. Insights from this exploration may lead to enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for individuals affected by this condition.

Parasomnia disorders are characterized by unusual behaviors, movements and experiences during sleep. While research has primarily focused on the clinical and neurological aspects of parasomnia, this paper explores the less-explored psychological and emotional dimensions of parasomnia in adults. This review aims to shed light on the potential impact of parasomnia on mental well-being and emotional health, offering insights into how these disorders affect the lives of those experiencing them. The findings underline the importance of a comprehensive understanding of parasomnia that encompasses not only the clinical aspects but also the psychological and emotional implications for affected individuals.

Intractable pediatric epileptic seizures pose a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. This paper reviews advanced neuromodulation approaches as potential treatments for super-refractory status epilepticus in children. These interventions offer promise for improving seizure control and enhancing the quality of life for affected children. This review explores the current landscape of neuromodulation techniques, their safety and efficacy and their potential to revolutionize the management of pediatric epilepsy.
