متن کاملValproate-induced encephalopathy: assessment with MR imaging and 1H MR spectroscopy.
The anticonvulsant agent valproate (VPA) may cause hyperammonemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton MR spectroscopic (MRS) findings in a patient with VPA-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy are described. MRI showed a metabolic-toxic lesion pattern with bilateral T2-hyperintense lesions in the cerebellar white matter and in the globus pallidus. MR spectroscopic findi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of TLR4 in endotoxin-induced hepatic encephalopathy in rats with biliary cirrhosis
Background: Hepatic encephalopathy is defined as a neuropsychiatric brain dysfunction in acute or chronic liver failure. Infection and inflammation have crucial role in its pathophysiology. The purpose of our study was to demonstrate the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression and the encephalopathy induced with endotoxin in biliary cirrhotic rats. Methods: The present stud...
متن کاملAdvances in High-Field Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects several important molecules in brain metabolism. The resulting neurochemical changes can be quantified non-invasively in localized brain regions using in vivo single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SV 1H MRS). Although the often heralded diagnostic potential of MRS in AD largely remains unfulfilled, more recent use of high magnetic fields has led t...
متن کاملCurrent and future applications of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy of the brain in hepatic encephalopathy.
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common neuro-psychiatric abnormality, which complicates the course of patients with liver disease and results from hepatocellular failure and/or portosystemic shunting. The manifestations of HE are widely variable and involve a spectrum from mild subclinical disturbance to deep coma. Research interest has focused on the role of circulating gut-derived toxins, pa...
