TL;DR: It is concluded that subclinical hepatic encephalopathy implies impaired daily functioning and warrants attempts at treatment.

TL;DR: A fusion scheme that obtained superior results is presented, demonstrating that there is complementary information provided by the different algorithms and there is still room for further improvements in airway segmentation algorithms.

TL;DR: Patients with subclinical hepatic encephalopathy were older, had a higher Child-Pugh score, and more often had esophageal or gastric varices and episode(s) of clinical hepaticEncephalopathy in their history; survival was similar to that of patients without subclinical liver disease, and was determined mainly by the Child- Pugh score.

TL;DR: Estimating the prevalence of SHE using two easy administrable psychometric tests with age‐related normal values with spectral electroencephalogram (EEG) was used, which is the in‐house electrophysiological method for quantifying encephalopathy.

TL;DR: Although more nondiagnostic V/Q scan results can be expected in the presence of COPD, V-Q scintigraphy remains a valuable screening test in patients with COPD.
