Partial mediation implies that there is not only a significant relationship between the mediator and the dependent variable, but also some direct relationship between the independent and dependent variable.t is possible to mediate moderation and moderate mediation. Moderated mediation is when the effect of the treatment A on the mediator and/or the partial effect B on the dependent variable depend in turn on levels of another variable (moderator).
A lumbar puncture can help diagnose serious infections, such as meningitis; other disorders of the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis; or cancers of the brain or spinal cord.
A lumbar puncture is performed to see if the pressure of the CSF is elevated or not. In addition, a lumbar puncture may be used to measure the pressure of the CSF, which flows freely between the spinal column and the brain.The doctor measures the pressure during a lumbar puncture using a special tube (called a manometer) that is attached to the lumbar puncture needle.here is a risk of bleeding in the spinal canal. Should there be increased pressure or swelling in the brain before the procedure, a lumbar puncture can cause fluctuations in the CSF fluid levels, resulting in brain herniation.
