Altered distal-proximal temperature gradient as a possible explanation for sleep-wake disturbances in cirrhotic patients. Liver International 2017 Weiss N, Attali V, Bouzbib C, Thabut D
Marini S, Santangeli O, Saarelainen P, Middleton B, Chowdhury N, Skene DJ, Costa R,Porkka-Heiskanen T, Montagnese S Frontiers in Physiology (section Integrative Physiology) Patients with liver cirrhosis can develop hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy (HE), accompanied by pronounced daytime sleepiness. Previous studies with healthy volunteers show that experimental increase in blood ammonium levels increases sleepiness and slows […]

Scientific reports PER3 gene polymorphisms have been associated with differences in human sleep-wake phenotypes, and sensitivity to light. The aims of this study were […]
Garrido M, Saccardo D, De Rui M, Vettore E, Verardo A, Carraro P, Di Vitofrancesco N, Mani AR, Angeli P, Bolognesi M, Montagnese S. Liver International BACKGROUND & AIMS: Sleep preparation/onset are associated with peripheral vasodilatation and a decrease in body temperature. The hyperdynamic syndrome exhibited by patients with cirrhosis may impinge on sleep preparation, […]
Longato E, Garrido M, Saccardo D, Montesinos Guevara C, Mani A, Bolognesi M, Amodio P, Facchinetti A, Sparacino G, Montagnese S. PlosOne A popular method to estimate proximal/distal temperature (TPROX and TDIST) consists in calculating a weighted average of nine wireless sensors placed on pre-defined skin locations. Specifically, TPROX is derived from five sensors placed […]
Campagna F, Montagnese S, Ridola L, Senzolo M, Schiff S, De Rui M, Pasquale C, Nardelli S, Pentassuglio I, Merkel C, Angeli P, Riggio O, Amodio P. Hepatology. 2017 Screening for hepatic encephalopathy (HE) that does not cause obvious disorientation or asterixis (minimal HE [MHE]/grade 1 HE) is important. We examined if the animal naming test (ANT1 ) (maximum number of animals listed […]
Montagnese S, De Rui M, Angeli P, Amodio P. Journal of Hepatology 2017 In patients with cirrhosis a normal neuropsychiatric performance has been traditionally defined by the absence of any degree of hepatic encephalopathy and/or the absence of psychometric or neurophysiological abnormalities, compared with data from the healthy population. As the understanding and management of end-stage liver disease continues to change, it is our impression […]
Allebrandt K, Teder-Laving M, Cusumano P, Frishman G, Levandovski R, Ruepp A, Hidalgo M, Costa R, Metspalu A, Roenneberg T, de Pittà C. Scientific Reports Recognizing that insights into the modulation of sleep duration can emerge by exploring the functional relationships among genes, we used this strategy to explore the genome-wide association results for […]
Amodio P, Montagnese S, Spinelli G, Schiff S, Mapelli D. Metababolic Brain Disease 2017 Cognitive Reserve (CR) modulates symptoms of brain disease. The aim of this study was: to evaluate the effect of CR on cognition in cirrhosis and on the mismatch between cognitive and neurophysiologic assessment of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Eighty-two outpatient patients with cirrhosis without overt HE were studied [73% […]
Garrido M, Turco M, Formentin C, Corrias M, De Rui M, Montagnese S, Amodio P. BMJ Open Gastroenterology 2017 BACKGROUND: Providing structured information for the understanding of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) might be relevant to the prevention and management of the syndrome. The aim of our study was to design a brief, structured educational intervention and […]
