Mortality Patterns and Phenotypic Clusters in Trisomy 13: A Population‐Based Study From Japan
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trisomy 13, the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, is associated with a significantly high infant mortality rate. However, large‐scale studies examining causes of death in trisomy 13 remain scarce. Therefore, we aimed to better understand the mortality patterns.

PATHOGENESIS OF HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY [PDF]
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2000 Hepatic encephalopathy is considered to be a reversible metabolic encephalopathy, which occurs as a complication of hepatocellular failure and is associated with increased portal-systemic shunting of gut-derived nitrogenous compounds. Its manifestations are most consistent with a global depression of CNS function, which could arise as a consequence of ...
