Abstract

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that develops in the context of portosystemic venous shunting, in the presence or absence of intrinsic hepatic disease. HE is clinically characterized by altered sensorium and a spectrum of neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of altered brain function associated with advanced hepatic disease and portosystemic shunting. HE may lead to profound coma and death; however, in many cases it is reversible. This article discusses the most recent developments in understanding the pathophysiology of HE and its diagnosis and management.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
