Radiology, 1984The diameters of the portal, splenic, superior mesenteric, and coronary veins were measured during umbilicoportal venography in 64 cirrhotic patients with or without portal hypertension. The diameter of the portal vein did not increase along with the portohepatic gradient and even tended to decrease depending on the severity of hypertension and the ...

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1981The accumulation of false neurotransmitters such as octopamine and depletion of true neurotransmitters such as dopamine have been purported to play a pathogenetic role in portal systemic encephalopathy (PSE). Therefore, we measured plasma prolactin, a known sensitive indicator of functional dopamine activity in man, in an attempt to evaluate ...
