As the name suggests, drywall is used to create walls and ceilings inside a house or other structure where it will not be exposed to the elements. In the US, houses older than 1917 will not have drywall unless later remodeling was done. 1917 was when the U.S. Gypsum Company introduced the product to the US market.
Communicating hydrocephalus, also known as non-obstructive hydrocephalus, is caused by impaired cerebrospinal fluid reabsorption in the absence of any CSF-flow obstruction between the ventricles and subarachnoid space.ydrocephalus is usually due to blockage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow in the ventricles or in the subarachnoid space over the brain. In a person without hydrocephalus, CSF continuously circulates through the brain, its ventricles and the spinal cord and is continuously drained away into the circulatory system.
Hydrocephalus may produce an increase in intracranial pressure, which means high pressure within the skull. One of the ways to manage hydrocephalus is with a VP shunt, which redirects the fluid away from the brain and to another area of the body that can more easily tolerate surplus fluid.
