Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatic encephalopathy is associated with posttransplant cognitive function and brain volume.
Rita García-Martínez,Alex Rovira,Juli Alonso,Carlos Jacas,Carlos Jacas,Macarena Simón-Talero,Laia Chavarria,Laia Chavarria,Victor Vargas,Victor Vargas,Juan Córdoba,Juan Córdoba +11 more
TL;DR: The association of HE with cognitive function and brain volume suggests that having experienced HE before liver transplantation impairs the posttransplantation neurological outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmatic level of neuroinflammatory markers predict the extent of diffusion-weighted image lesions in hyperacute stroke.
Joan Montaner,Alex Rovira,Carlos A. Molina,Juan F. Arenillas,Marc Ribo,Pilar Chacón,Jasone Monasterio,José Alvarez-Sabín +7 more
TL;DR: In cerebral ischemia, tissue destruction seems related to matrix metalloproteinases expression because baseline MMP-9 was the only predictor of the infarct volume measured as a DWI lesion (lineal regression: b = 0.50, 0.25–0.74).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity as a risk marker for first-ever lacunar infarction: A case-control study.
Carlos A. Molina,José Álvarez Sabín,Joan Montaner,Alex Rovira,Sònia Abilleira,Agustín Codina +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that impaired CVR is a risk marker for first-ever symptomatic lacunar infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is optic neuritis more benign than other first attacks in multiple sclerosis
Mar Tintoré,Alex Rovira,Jordi Río,Carlos Nos,E. Grivé,Neus Téllez,Raul Pelayo,Manuel Comabella,Xavier Montalban +8 more
TL;DR: Comparisons on the different topographies of CISs found optic neuritis has a smaller risk for conversion to multiple sclerosis, and MRI at baseline, not CIS topography, appears to be the crucial issue at multiple sclerosis presentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for using proton MR spectroscopy in multicenter clinical MS studies.
N. De Stefano,Massimo Filippi,David Miller,Petra J. W. Pouwels,Alex Rovira,Achim Gass,Christian Enzinger,Paul M. Matthews,Douglas L. Arnold +8 more
TL;DR: Current MRS clinical applications in MS are reviewed, the potential and limitations of the technique are discussed, and recommendations for the application of MRS to clinical trials are suggested.
