Altered Serum Bile Acid Pattern as an Independent Factor for Covert and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients With Cirrhosis

open access: yesHepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Bile acid (BA) signaling plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), including covert (CHE) and overt HE (OHE). However, few studies have examined its clinical impact in patients with cirrhosis. Methods This retrospective study included patients with cirrhosis who underwent CHE assessment using a computer ...

Exploring Theory of Mind abilities in patients with probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

open access: yesJournal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition affecting motor, cognitive and autonomic functions. Given the overlap between ToM‐related neural networks and those affected in iNPH, we examined whether ToM impairments are a feature of the disease ...

Decrease of excessive daytime sleepiness after shunt treatment for normal pressure hydrocephalus

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleepiness and apathy are often reported in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. However, research on outcomes after shunt surgery has mainly focused on the classical triad symptoms, that is, gait, cognition, and bladder dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the effects of shunt treatment on excessive daytime sleepiness and whether ...

Challenges in cerebrospinal fluid shunting in patients with glioblastoma [PDF]

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2018
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation disturbances may occur during the course of disease in patients with glioblastoma. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting has generally been recommended to improve symptoms in glioblastoma patients. Shunt implantation for patients with glioblastoma, however, presents as a complex situation and produces different problems to

Preferential lactate metabolism in the human brain during exogenous and endogenous hyperlactataemia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Trans‐cerebral blood sampling of arterial and jugular venous blood samples, combined with duplex ultrasound, were used to calculate cerebral metabolic rates of glucose (CMRGlc) lactate (CMRiLac) and oxygen (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$).
