Hepatic encephalopathy : from metabolic to neurodegenerative
(Elsevier, 2021-06-15)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome of both acute and chronic liver disease. As a metabolic disorder, HE is considered to be reversible and therefore is expected to resolve following the replacement ...
A pilot study on the Mirror Effect PLUS protocol : a standardized and adapted facial rehabilitation for acute Bell’s palsy
= Post lengthening temporalis myoplasty facial rehabilitation by speech-language pathologists : a study of three patientsMirror effect PLUS protocol for acute Bell’s palsy
(Canadian association of speech-language pathologists and audiologists, 2020-01)
Combining early facial exercises with medication may help patients with acute Bell’s palsy
recover significantly faster and better than patients treated with medication alone. To date,
exercise therapy in acute Bell’s ...
Genetically engineered E. coli Nissle attenuates hyperammonemia and prevents memory impairment in bile‐duct ligated rats
(Wiley, 2021-02-06)
Hyperammonemia associated with chronic liver disease (CLD) is implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The gut is a major source of ammonia production that contributes to hyperammonemia in CLD and HE ...
The association between pulsatile portal flow and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery : a retrospective cohort study
(Elsevier, 2017-11-22)
Objective:Venous congestion is a possible mechanism leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery. Portal veinflowpulsatility is an echographic marker of cardiogenic portal hypertension and might identify ...
The Hepatokine TSK does not affect brown fat thermogenic capacity, body weight gain, and glucose homeostasis
(Elsevier, 2019-10-04)
Objectives
Hepatokines are proteins secreted by the liver that impact the functions of the liver and various tissues through autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling. Recently, Tsukushi (TSK) was identified as a new ...
Glycine and hyperammonemia : potential target for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy
(Springer, 2016-06-23)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric
disorder caused by hepatic dysfunction. Numerous studies
dictate that ammonia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HE, and hyperammonemia can lead to alterations ...
Ammonia‐lowering strategies for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy
(Wiley, 2012-08-08)
Hyperammonemia leads to neurotoxic levels of brain ammonia and is a major factor involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Ammonia‐lowering treatments primarily involve two strategies: inhibiting ammonia ...
Proceedings from the 2018 Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver Single Topic Conference—Decompensated Cirrhosis : from clinic to transplant
(Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver, 2019)
Albumin dialysis : a new therapeutic strategy for intoxication from protein-bound drugs
(Springer, 2004-01-21)
Abstract Objective: Although water-soluble drugs can be removed by
haemofiltration/haemodialysis, morbidity and mortality from intoxication
with protein-bound drugs remains
high. The present study investigates
whether ...
Caspase-3 dependent peritubular capillary dysfunction is pivotal for transition from acute to chronic kidney disease after acute ischemia-reperfusion injury
(American Physiological Society, 2021-08-02)
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for chronic renal failure. Caspase-3, an effector responsible for apoptosis execution, is activated within peritubular capillary (PTC) in the early stage of IRI-induced ...
