Background Little is known about how spontaneous brain activity progresses from non-
hepatic encephalopathy (non-HE) to minimal HE (MHE). The purpose of this study was to …

We measured CBF and the CMRglc in normal controls and in patients with severe liver
disease and evidence for minimal hepatic encephalopathy using positron emission …

Background The changes that occur in the gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels within
specific brain regions throughout the day are less clear. Purpose To evaluate the daily …

Chronic acquired hepatocerebral degeneration (CAHD) is a rare neurological disorder of
cirrhotic patients, characterized by parkinsonism and cognitive impairment. A T1 …

Background Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is the mildest form of hepatic
encephalopathy (HE). Minimal hepatic encephalopathy patients do not demonstrate …

AIM: To assess whether non invasive blood flow measurement by arterial spin labeling in
several brain regions detects minimal hepatic encephalopathy. METHODS: Blood flow (BF) …

ABSTRACT Background/Aims: Cirrhotic patients often demonstrate high signal intensity on
T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MRI) images in basal ganglia with accumulation of …

Objectives Low-grade cerebral oedema is considered to be pathognomonic of minimal
hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in cirrhotic patients. The purpose of this study was to …

Objective: To measure changes in psychometric state, neural activation, brain volume (BV),
and cerebral metabolite concentrations during treatment of minimal hepatic encephalopathy …

Increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability for ammonia is considered to be an
integral part of the pathophysiology of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with liver …
