Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy: More Than Meets the Eye
Erminelli D, Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Angeli P, Montagnese S Am J Gastroenterol Introduction: We aimed to assess the reliability of a qualitative approach to overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) diagnosis compared with the semiquantitative, and recommended one. Methods: The above 2 methods were compared in 411 outpatients (71% males, 60 ± 10 years, model for end-stage liver […]
Personalising circadian hygiene educational initiatives aimed at university students-“He who has ears to hear, let him hear”
Giusti G, Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Ferrari P, Costa R, Montagnese S J Sleep Res The aim of the present study was to characterise “early drop-outs” (n = 3185) out of a group of university students (n = 7766) engaged in an ongoing circadian education initiative, to evaluate its efficacy and direct its […]
Application of short-term analysis of skin temperature variability in prediction of survival in patients with cirrhosis
Abid NU, Lum Cheng In T, Bottaro M, Shen X, Hernaez Sanz I, Yoshida S, Formentin C, Montagnese S, Mani AR Front Netw Physiol Background: Liver cirrhosis is a complex disorder, involving several different organ systems and physiological network disruption. Various physiological markers have been developed for survival modelling in patients with cirrhosis. Reduction in heart […]
Post-Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) Hepatic Encephalopathy-A Review of the Past Decade’s Literature Focusing on Incidence, Risk Factors, and Prophylaxis
Friis KH, Thomsen KL, Laleman W, Montagnese S, Vilstrup H, Lauridsen MM J Clin Med Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment for portal hypertension and its’ complications in liver cirrhosis, yet the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains a significant concern. This review covers the reported incidence, risk factors, and management strategies […]
A PDZ scaffolding/CaM-mediated pathway in Cryptochrome signaling
Bellanda M, Damulewicz M, Zambelli B, Costanzi E, Gregoris F, Mammi S, Tosatto SCE, Costa R, Minervini G, Mazzotta GM Protein Sci Cryptochromes are cardinal constituents of the circadian clock, which orchestrates daily physiological rhythms in living organisms. A growing body of evidence points to their participation in pathways that have not traditionally been associated […]

Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Formentin C, Giusti G, Domenie ED, Ruggerini D, Costa R, Skene DJ, Basso D, Battagliarin L, Di Bella A, Angeli P, Montagnese S J Biol Rhythms The objective of the present study was to test the effects of an inpatient management system (CircadianCare) aimed at limiting the negative impact of hospitalization […]
The Alarm Clock Against the Sun: Trends in Google Trends Search Activity Across the Transitions to and from Daylight Saving Time
Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Formentin C, Giusti G, Ruggerini D, Cusumano P, Biscontin A, Costa R, Montagnese S J Circadian Rhythms The human circadian timing system depends on the light/dark cycle as its main cue to synchronize with the environment, and thus with solar time. However, human activities depend also on social time, […]
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is associated with a higher risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy and poorer survival
