Coma is a state of unarousable unconsciousness due to dysfunction of the brain's ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), which is responsible for arousal and the maintenance of wakefulness. Anatomically and physiologically the ARAS has a redundancy of pathways and neurotransmitters; this may explain why coma is usually transient (seldom lasting ...

Myxedema coma is the term given to the most severe presentation of profound hypothyroidism and is often fatal in spite of therapy. Decompensation of the hypothyroid patient into a coma may be precipitated by a number of drugs, systemic illnesses (eg, pneumonia), and other causes.

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1979
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 ...

Abstract. Myxoedema coma is a medical emergency, which must be treated immediately. Otherwise the mortality is high. It is important to administer L‐triiodothyronine and corticosteroids early. If hypoventilation occurs, artificial respiration may be necessary.

AbstractA patient with Graves' disease was in coma with evidence of corticospinal tract disease. Treatment with standard pharmacological measures and plasmapheresis resulted in the reduction of total thyroxine from 28.8 μg/ dl to 10.0 μg/dl and of triiodothyronine from 332 ng/dl to 150 ng/dl.

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.

By order of the Head Injuries Committee of the W.F.N.S. the author and his coworkers give definitions of consciousness, clouding of consciouness and unconciousness or coma. Furthermore, they suggest a definition of the termination of unconsciousness, with particular reference to the transition into a stage of clouding of consciousness.

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

Myxedema coma is a rare, hard-to-diagnose condition with a very high mortality rate. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment are essential because they can greatly improve survival risks.

Coma and disorders of consciousness are frequently considered in terms of two linked anatomic-functional systems: the arousal system and the awareness system. The mesopontine tegmentum (namely the cuneiform/subcuneiform nuclei of the caudal midbrain and the pontis oralis nucleus of the rostral pons) and the monoamine nuclei generate signals of arousal.
