Vigilance and wake EEG architecture in simulated hyperammonaemia: a pilot study on the effects of L-Ornithine-L-Aspartate (LOLA) and caffeine
Garrido M, Skorucak J, Raduazzo D, Turco M, Spinelli G, Angeli P, Amodio P, Achermann P, Montagnese S. Metabolic Brain Disease Hyperammonaemia/mild hepatic encephalopathy (HE) can be simulated by the oral administration of a so-called amino acid challenge (AAC). This study sought to assess the effects of the AAC alone and in combination with either […]
A low-cost, user-friendly electroencephalographic recording system for the assessment of hepatic encephalopathy.
Schiff S, Casa M, Di Caro V, Aprile D, Spinelli G, De Rui M, Angeli P, Amodio P, Montagnese S. Hepatology. 2016 Electroencephalography (EEG) is useful to objectively diagnose/grade hepatic encephalopathy (HE) across its spectrum of severity. However, it requires expensive equipment, and hepatogastroenterologists are generally unfamiliar with its acquisition/interpretation. Recent technological advances have led to the development […]
Drosophila circadian rhythms in seminatural environments: Summer afternoon component is not an artifact and requires TrpA1 channels.
Green EW, O’Callaghan EK, Hansen CN, Bastianello S, Bhutani S, Vanin S, Armstrong JD, Costa R, Kyriacou CP. Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences Abstract Under standard laboratory conditions of rectangular light/dark cycles and constant warm temperature, Drosophila melanogaster show bursts of morning (M) and evening (E) locomotor activity and a “siesta” in the […]
