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.
From 1973 to 2009 there have been 1,188 executions in the US. In 2009 there were 3,279 people on death row: 1,364 blacks, 370 Hispanics, 1457 whites, and 77 classified as other. In 2005 the highest number of executions was in China (by far the most), Iran (94), Saudi Arabia (86), and the US (60).
