Electrophysiological and hemodynamic mechanisms underlying load modulations in visuospatial working memory: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) study
Zarantonello L, Brigadoi S, Schiff S, Bisiacchi PS, Cutini S, Montagnese S, Amodio P Behav Neurosci The n-back task has been widely used to study working memory. Previous studies investigating the electrophysiological (electroencephalogram [EEG]) and hemodynamic correlates (functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS]) of the n-back task have been generally based on verbal stimuli and only investigated […]
Long-term effects of daylight saving time on driving fatigue
Orsini F, Domenie ED, Zarantonello L, Costa R, Montagnese S, Rossi R Heliyon The study of the relationship between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and road safety has yielded contrasting results, most likely in relation to the inability of crash-database approaches to unravel positive (ambient lighting-related) and negative (circadian/sleep-related) effects, and to significant geographical differences in […]
Proton pump inhibitor use and risk of hepatic encephalopathy: A multicentre study
Gairing SJ, Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Jonasson E, Dobbermann H, Sultanik P, Galle PR, Labenz J, Thabut D, Marquardt JU, Bloom PP, Lauridsen MM, Montagnese S, Labenz C JHEP Rep Background & aims: Data on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are conflicting, and data from multicentre studies are […]
The social and psychological impact of hepatic encephalopathy
Sørensen M, Lauridsen MM, Montagnese S Metab Brain Dis Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency with symptoms ranging from slight cognitive changes detectable only by neuropsychiatric testing to coma. Up to 60% of patients with cirrhosis have mild forms of HE and 35% will at some point experience overt HE. […]
PHES scores have limited impact on the risk of overt HE in patients with minimal HE
Gairing SJ, Mangini C, Zarantonello L, Jonasson E, Danneberg S, Sultanik P, Galle PR, Gioia S, Labenz J, Lok AS, Marquardt JU, Lauridsen MM, Bloom PP, Thabut D, Nardelli S, Montagnese S, Labenz C Hepatol Commun Background: Minimal hepatic encephalopathy, defined by the portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES), is associated with a higher risk of subsequent […]
