Novel magnetic resonance KTRANS measurement of blood-brain barrier permeability correlated with covert HE
Chaganti J, Zeng G, Tun N, Lockart I, Abdelshaheed C, Cysique L, Montagnese S, Brew BJ, Danta M HE Hepatol Commun Background: Using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR perfusion and MR spectroscopy this study aimed to characterize the blood-brain barrier permeability and metabolite changes in patients with cirrhosis and without covert HE. Methods: Covert HE was defined using […]

Gairing SJ, Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Gioia S, Nielsen EJ, Danneberg S, Gabriel M, Ehrenbauer AF, Bloom PP, Ripoll C, Sultanik P, Galle PR, Labenz J, Thabut D, Zipprich A, Lok AS, Weissenborn K, Marquardt JU, Lauridsen MM, Nardelli S, Montagnese S, Labenz C Am J Gastroenterol Introduction: The prevalence of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE), in […]
Prognosis and Survival Modelling in Cirrhosis Using Parenclitic Networks
Zhang H, Oyelade T, Moore KP, Montagnese S, Mani AR Front Netw Physiol Background: Liver cirrhosis involves multiple organ systems and has a high mortality. A network approach to complex diseases often reveals the collective system behaviours and intrinsic interactions between organ systems. However, mapping the functional connectivity for each individual patient has been challenging due […]
Natural alleles of the clock gene timeless differentially affect life-history traits in Drosophila
Andreatta G, Montagnese S, Costa R Front Physiol Circadian clocks orchestrate a variety of physiological and behavioural functions within the 24-h day. These timekeeping systems have also been implicated in developmental and reproductive processes that span more (or less) than 24 h. Whether natural alleles of cardinal clock genes affect entire sets of life-history traits […]
