Some Morpho-Functional Changes of the Left Heart in Patients with Viral Liver Cirrhosis by M V. Chistyakova, A. V. Govorin, N. N. Kushnarenko

“…It was found that the maximum index of the left atrial volume was higher in patients with VLC compared to control, and in patients with ascites this disorder was more pronounced (p<0.001). In accordance with the ASE/EACVI-2016 algorithm, normal diastolic LV function was registered almost twice as often as when using the ASE/EAE-2009 algorithm. …”

Neuroanatomical and functional correlates in tic disorders and Tourette's syndrome: A narrative review by Anna Sara Liberati, Giulio Perrotta

“…From a neurophysiological perspective, the disorder has classically been associated with neurochemical imbalances (particularly dopamine and serotonin) and structural and functional alterations affecting, in particular, brain areas and circuits involved in the processing and coordination of movements: the basal ganglia, thalamus, motor cortical area, and cingulate cortex; however, more recent research is demonstrating the involvement of many more brain regions and neurotransmission systems than previously observed, such as the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. …”
