The structure of a hydrothermal system from an integrated geochemical, geophysical, and geological approach: The Ischia Island case study
2011
The complexity of volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems is such that thorough characterization requires extensive and interdisciplinary work. We use here an integrated multidisciplinary approach, combining geological investigations with hydrogeochemical and soil degassing prospecting, and resistivity surveys, to provide a comprehensive characterization of the shallow structure of the southwestern Ischia's hydrothermal system. We show that the investigated area is characterized by a structural setting that, although very complex, can be schematized in three sectors, namely, the extra caldera sector (ECS), caldera floor sector (CFS), and resurgent caldera sector (RCS). This contrasted structura…
Long-Term Follow-Up of Repeat Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Obstructive Hydrocephalus.
2017
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a safe and less-invasive treatment strategy for patients with obstructive hydrocephalus and provides excellent outcome. Nevertheless, repeat ETV in cases of ETV failure is a controversial issue.Between 1993 and 1999, 113 patients underwent a total of 126 ETVs at the Department of Neurosurgery, Mainz University Hospital. Obstructive hydrocephalus was the causative pathology in all cases. A very long-term follow-up of up to 16 years could be achieved. All medical reports of patients who received ETV were reviewed and analyzed with focus on ETV failure with following repeat ETV and its initial as well as very long-term success.Thirty-one events of ETV …
