A 25-year-old man was found comatose in a park in August, 1993, and was taken to hospital by the fire department. He was hypotensive and could not follow commands, although localising neurological findings were absent. His heart rate varied between 30 and 250 beats per min. Intravenous lines were placed and the patient was taken to intensive care.

Three cases of profound hypothyroidism, 2 of whom lapsed into myxoedema coma are reported. All 3 cases presented over a 5 week period. Modern management, especially the use of intensive care, has improved the outcome. All 3 cases survived. Treated hypothyroid patients frequently discontinue their medicines and constitute the majority of patients ...

Coma is defined as a state of extreme unresponsiveness, in which a person exhibits no voluntary movement or behavior even to painful stimuli. The utilization of EEG for patients in coma has increased dramatically over the last few years. In fact, many institutions have set protocols for continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring for patients in coma due to ...

Applied Optics, 1988
The oblique focusing defect of spherical lenses, known as coma, is described by Seidel as the second of five correction terms (third order) to the Gauss theory. The concept is clear for a refracting surface that is free of spherical aberration; however, the impossibility of eliminating spherical aberration from a single lens with spherical surfaces can

Coma classifications have been a matter of debate for over 35 years. The Glasgow Coma Scale is now widely accepted but its indiscriminate application has often led to misuse. The various methods that have been devised can be divided into two types, coma scales and coma scoring systems.

Publisher Summary Consciousness is a state of awareness of self and environment that gives significance to stimuli from the internal and external environment. It depends on two critical components – cognitive content and arousal. Impairment of arousal leads to obtundation, stupor, or coma, and a secondary impairment of cognitive content that may be ...
