Abstract: After an initial exposure, patients can develop test‐taking/learning strategies called the “test sophistication effect.” Patients with cirrhosis with prior overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) could have persistent learning impairments. The aim was to define learning/test sophistication… read more here.

Abstract: Overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) risk should be preoperatively predicted to identify patients suitable for curative transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) instead of palliative treatments. A total of 185 patients who underwent TIPS procedure were randomised… read more here.
