Montagnese S, Bajaj JS Drugs Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has a major impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients, which has clinical and psychosocial consequences. HRQOL in cirrhosis has been measured by generic and liver-specific instruments, with most studies indicating a negative impact of HE. HRQOL abnormalities span daily functioning, sleep–wake cycle changes, and […]
Satti R, Abid N, Bottaro M, De Rui M, Garrido M, Rauofy MR, Montagnese S, Mani AR Frontiers in Physiology The Poincaré plot is a geometrical technique used to visualize and quantify the correlation between two consecutive data points in a time-series. Since the dynamics of fluctuations in physiological rhythms exhibit long-term correlation and memory, […]

Formentin C, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Angeli P, Merkel C, Montagnese S Digestive and Liver Disease Current guidelines for the diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) include the clinical sign asterixis, which defines grade II overt HE in the absence of disorientation to time [ 1 ]. Asterixis has also been used as an outcome in clinical trials […]

Zeng G, Penninkilampi R, Chaganti J, Montagnese S, Brew BJ, Danta M Neurology Objective Various imaging modalities have been used to explore pathogenic mechanisms and stratify the severity of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The hypothesis of this meta-analysis was that there is a progressive identifiable derangement of imaging measures using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) related to the […]
Formentin C, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Frigo A C, Montagnese S, Merkel C Liver International Background and Aims The occurrence of overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) marks a significant progression in the natural history of liver disease. The aims of the present study were to: 1) describe a large cohort of patients with cirrhosis in terms […]
Senzolo M, Zarantonello L, Formentin C, Orlando C, Beltrame F, Vuerich A, Angeli P, Burra P, Montagnese S Metabolic Brain Disease Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) occurs in 20–50% of patients after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. Older age, HE history and severe liver failure have all been associated with post-TIPS HE but it remains difficult to […]
