NIR‐II Fluorescent Protein Created by In Situ Albumin‐Tagging for Sensitive and Specific Imaging of Blood‐Brain Barrier Disruption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The breakdown of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) after cerebral ischemia can cause brain injury and induce potentially fatal consequences. Currently, there exist few dependable and low‐cost imaging techniques for visualizing the BBB. This investigation effectively engineered an albumin‐specific covalently tagged near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) dye, serving as ...

Bromocriptine-associated ototoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Three patients treated with bromocriptine for chronic hepatic encephalopathy showed audiometric evidence of bilateral sensori-neural hearing-loss. Audiometrically, the hearing improved in all three patients when the bromocriptine dosage was reduced, thus

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2011
The term minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) refers to the subtle changes in cognitive function, electrophysiological parameters, cerebral neurochemical/neurotransmitter homeostasis, cerebral blood flow, metabolism, and fluid homeostasis that can be observed in patients with cirrhosis who have no clinical evidence of hepatic encephalopathy; the ...

Impact of hepatospleno volume ratio on postoperative chronic liver failure after major hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The hepatospleno volume ratio and prealbumin levels 3 mo after major hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma are significant predictors of postoperative chronic liver failure (PCLF). The importance of this finding is that it emphasizes the need for targeted postoperative nutritional support and regular screening endoscopy to mitigate the risk of ...

Type and etiology of liver cirrhosis are not related to the presence of hepatic encephalopathy or health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2008
Background Hepatic encephalopathy has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (QoL) in liver cirrhosis. There are scarce and conflicting data on whether type or etiology of liver cirrhosis could be related to hepatic encephalopathy in ...

Fully Automated Deep Learning-enabled Detection for Hepatic Steatosis on Computed Tomography: A Multicenter International Validation Study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Despite high global prevalence of hepatic steatosis, no automated diagnostics demonstrated generalizability in detecting steatosis on multiple international datasets. Traditionally, hepatic steatosis detection relies on clinicians selecting the region of interest (ROI) on computed tomography (CT) to measure liver attenuation. ROI selection demands time

TIPS for the treatment of refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic hydrothorax: a critical update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Refractory ascites is a frequent complication of advanced cirrhosis and is associated with hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic hydrothorax. Large volume paracentesis and pleurodesis are regarded as first-line treatments in patients who do not respond ...

Targeted Therapies in Myelofibrosis: Present Landscape, Ongoing Studies, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that is accompanied by driver JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutations in more than 90% of cases, leading to constitutive activation of the JAK–STAT pathway. MF is a multifaceted disease characterized by trilineage myeloid proliferation with prominent megakaryocyte atypia and bone marrow fibrosis, as ...

A longitudinal study of patients with cirrhosis treated with L-ornithine L-aspartate, examined with magnetization transfer, diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The presence of overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is associated with structural, metabolic and functional changes in the brain discernible by use of a variety of magnetic resonance (MR) techniques.
