Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 29 January 2021 is Xanthochromia.
Xanthochromia, from the Greek xanthos (ξανθός) "yellow" and chroma (χρώμα) "colour", is the yellowish appearance of cerebrospinal fluid that occurs several hours after bleeding into the subarachnoid space caused by certain medical conditions, most commonly subarachnoid hemorrhage. Its presence can be determined by either spectrophotometry (measuring the absorption of particular wavelengths of light) or simple visual examination. It is unclear which method is superior.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Friday, 29 January 2021.
For the full current version of the article, see Xanthochromia on Wikipedia.
