Delirium: A disorder of consciousness?
Medical Hypotheses, 2013Delirium is recognised as a disorder of consciousness, however, no evidence has been previously generated to specifically address this premise. In order to evaluate this established notion, we have attempted to review consciousness, the components of consciousness and the emerging evidence for neuroanatomical correlates and then relate this to the ...

Electrophysiology and Disorders of Consciousness
2012Electroencephalography offers different insights into brain activity useful in the study of disorders of consciousness. In this paper we focus on three aspects of electroencephalography, namely standard clinical assessments, event related potentials (ERP) and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG).

Prognosis in Disorders of Consciousness
2017In patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOC), clinical evolution is determined by several factors closely interacting with each other: etiology, patient’s age (likely influencing the physiological process of recovery, e.g., brain plasticity), the duration of DOC (likely related to the severity of brain damage), the structural and ...

Abstract Consciousness may be defined as a neurological state in which one is fully awake and aware of self and environment and has normal responses to external stimulation and inner needs. Unconsciousness is the opposite; it is a neurological state of overtly diminished responsiveness to environmental stimuli and unawareness of self and

Chronic disorders of consciousness
The Lancet, 2006The vegetative state and the minimally conscious state are disorders of consciousness that can be acute and reversible or chronic and irreversible. Diffuse lesions of the thalami, cortical neurons, or the white-matter tracts that connect them cause the vegetative state, which is wakefulness without awareness.

Chronic Consciousness Disorders
Annual Review of Medicine, 2009Although philosophers and cognitive neuroscientists have struggled to define human consciousness, physicians can identify and assess its two clinical dimensions: wakefulness and awareness. A comatose patient has neither wakefulness nor awareness; a patient in a vegetative state has wakefulness without awareness; and a minimally conscious patient has ...

Assessing consciousness and cognition in disorders of consciousness
NeuroRehabilitationDetecting willful cognition in these patients is known to be challenging due to the patients’ motor disabilities and high vigilance fluctuations but also due to the lack of expertise and use of adequate tools to assess these patients in specific settings.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
The vegetative state and other so‐called disorders of consciousness present some of the most significant practical and ethical challenges in modern medicine. It is extremely difficult to assess residual cognitive function in these patients because their movements may be minimal or inconsistent, or because no cognitive output may be possible.

Electrophysiology in disorders of consciousness
Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a powerful tool in the diagnosis, characterization, and prognostication of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). EEG is a well-established monitoring tool for the treatment of specific patient populations with impaired consciousness, such as those with status epilepticus and cardiac arrest.Mohamed, Ridha +2 more
