Brain edema in acute liver failure and chronic liver disease: Similarities and differences
(2013)Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that typically develops as a result of acute liver failure or chronic liver disease. Brain edema is a common feature associated with HE. In acute liver failure, brain edema contributes ... -
Increase brain lactate in hepatic encephalopathy: Cause or consequence?
(2010-11)Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome which develops as a result of liver failure or disease. Increased concentrations of brain lactate (microdialysate, cerebrospinal fluid, tissue) are commonly measured in patients with ... -
Induction of astrocytic cyclooxygenase-2 in epileptic patients with hippocampal sclerosis
(2003)Induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been described in a wide range of neurological diseases including animal models of epilepsy. The present study was undertaken to assess COX-2 expression in hippocampal biopsies from patients with therapy-refractive ... -
Loss of noradrenaline transporter sites in frontal cortex of rats with acute (ischemic) liver failure
(2001)There is increasing evidence that central noradrenaline (NA) transport mechanisms are implicated in the central nervous system complications of acute liver failure. In order to assess this possibility, binding sites for the high affinity NA transporter ...
