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.
The term hydrocephalus is derived from the Greek words hydro meaning water and cephalus meaning head. As the name implies, it is a condition in which the primary characteristic is excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain.Although hydrocephalus was once known as water on the brain, the water is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) â a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.he balance between production and absorption of CSF is critically important. Because CSF is made continuously, medical conditions that block its normal flow or absorption will result in an over-accumulation of CSF. The resulting pressure of the fluid against brain tissue is what causes hydrocephalus.
