A Long-Term Study of Changes in the Volume of Brain Ventricles and White Matter Lesions After Successful Liver Transplantation
Rita Garcia Martinez,Alex Rovira,Juli Alonso,F. Xavier Aymerich,E. Huerga,Carlos Jacas,Macarena Simón-Talero,Victor Vargas,Juan Córdoba +8 more
TL;DR: Improvement in neuropsychologic function after successful liver transplant can be demonstrated up to 9 years, however, these patients experience a progressive accumulation of focal T2 brain lesions and show a smaller brain volume than controls, which can be related to their previous cirrhosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma β-Amyloid Levels in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Associated Hemorrhagic Stroke
Mar Hernández-Guillamon,Pilar Delgado,Anna Penalba,David Rodriguez-Luna,Carlos A. Molina,Alex Rovira,José Alvarez-Sabín,Mercè Boada,Joan Montaner +8 more
TL;DR: Plasma Aβ levels were higher in probable CAA patients than in controls, indicating that a certain degree of CAA severity is necessary to show increased Aβ fragments in peripheral circulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of MS pathology on brain networks, as assessed using MRI, and how these changes to brain networks translate into clinical impairments are discussed and how this knowledge can inform the targeting of MS treatments and potential future directions for research in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Patients Treated with Intra-Arterial Thrombolysis
Oliver C. Singer,Joachim Berkefeld,Matthias W. Lorenz,Jens Fiehler,Gregory W. Albers,Maarten G Lansberg,Andreas Kastrup,Alex Rovira,David S Liebeskind,Achim Gass,Charlotte Rosso,Laurent Derex,Jong S. Kim,Tobias Neumann-Haefelin +13 more
TL;DR: IA and IV + IA thrombolysis is associated with an increased sICH risk as compared to IV throm bolysis, and this risk is independent of differences in baseline parameters such as age, initial NIHSS score or pretreatment lesion size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decrease in the Volume of White Matter Lesions with Improvement of Hepatic Encephalopathy
TL;DR: The volume and number of white matter lesions reduced with the improvement of hepatic encephalopathy, suggesting the participation of the blood-brain barrier in the pathogenesis of brain edema in hepatic Encephalopathy.
