Neurometabolic profiles of bile duct ligated rats after the treatment with an urease inhibitor – 1H MRS dataset

1H MRS in the cerebellum was used to study the effect of 2-octynohydroxamic acid (2-octynoHA) treatment on the brain of bile duct ligated (BDL) rats (type C hepatic encephalopathy). The study included four groups of rats: negative control group (rats recei ...

New insights into rodent brain microstructure and metabolism in hepatic encephalopathy

Jessie Julie Mosso

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe neuropsychiatric complication of chronic liver disease, for which the prognosis is poor in the absence of liver transplantation. Cirrhosis in type C HE leads to a toxic accumulation of ammonia in the blood, wh ...

Lessons on brain edema in HE: from cellular to animal models and clinical studies

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Jessie Julie Mosso

Brain edema is considered as a common feature associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). However, its central role as cause or consequence of HE and its implication in the development of the neurological alterations linked to HE are still under debate. I ...

Overview of oxidative stress findings in hepatic encephalopathy: From cellular and ammonium-based animal models to human data

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Dunja Simicic

Oxidative stress is a natural phenomenon in the body. Under physiological conditions intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are normal components of signal transduction cascades, and their levels are maintained by a complex antioxidants systems partic ...

Advanced metabolite mapping at ultra-high field using 1H-MRS, 1H-MRSI and macromolecules: applications in a rat model of type C hepatic encephalopathy

Dunja Simicic

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is the only technique capable of measuring a large number of metabolites simultaneously in vivo. Ultra-high magnetic fields (UHF) combined with ultra-short echo time (TE) sequences allow the detection of high-quality 1 ...

C-reactive protein and white matter microstructural changes in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy

Alessandra Griffa

Encephalopathy is a neurological complication of COVID-19. The objective of this exploratory study is to investigate the link between systemic inflammation and brain microstructural changes (measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in patients with COVID-19 ...

Development and applications of hyperpolarized 13C and 1H MR spectroscopy of cerebral metabolism at ultra-high field

Emmanuelle Ines Flatt

This thesis is composed of four studies centered on investigating cerebral metabolism using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of hyperpolarized and non-hyperpolarized compounds at ultra-high field. In the first two chapters, we studied longitudinally t ...

Longitudinal osmotic and neurometabolic changes in young rats with chronic cholestatic liver disease

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Veronika Rackayová

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (type C HE) is increasingly suspected in children with chronic liver disease (CLD), and believed to underlie long-term neurocognitive difficulties. The molecular underpinnings of type C HE in both adults and children are incom ...

Longitudinal neurometabolic changes in the hippocampus of a rat model of chronic hepatic encephalopathy

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Jocelin Grosse, Veronika Rackayová

Background & Aims: The sequence of events in hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains unclear. Using the advantages of in vivo 1H-MRS (9.4T) we aimed to analyse the time-course of disease in an established model of type C HE by analysing the longitudinal change ...

Brain Edema in Chronic Hepatic Encephalopathy

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu

Brain edema is a common feature associated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). In patients with acute HE, brain edema has been shown to play a crucial role in the associated neurological deterioration. In chronic HE, advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
