The term hydrocephalus is a neurological condition, where there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid fills the cavities (ventricles) of the brain and the spinal cord. Increase in the cerebrospinal fluid widens the ventricular spaces in the brain and exerts pressure on the brain tissues.
The application of the death penalty is one of the rights preserved to the states. There is no federal law that addresses, it or forbids iâ¦t. Currently 35 of the 50 states plus the US Government and US Military have a death penalty in effect, although several have not exercised it in some time.
There were 2,902 people on death row in the United States on October 1, 2016, the most recent date for which data is available. Since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated by the US Supreme Court, 1,458 people have been executed (as of July 28, 2017).
