The Comorbidities Coma Scale (CoCoS): Psychometric Properties and Clinical Usefulness in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Although comorbidities have a well-known impact on the functional recovery of patients with disorders of consciousness, including coma, vegetative state (VS), and minimally conscious state (MCS), a specific tool for their assessment in this challenging ...

Commentary on Jakab's Ineffability of Qualia [PDF]

, 2000
Zoltan Jakab has presented an interesting conceptual analysis of the ineffability of qualia in a functionalist and classical cognitivist framework. But he does not want to commit himself to a certain metaphysical thesis on the ontology of consciousness ...

Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

Sleep in the Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State [PDF]

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013
The goal of our study was to investigate different aspects of sleep, namely the sleep-wake cycle and sleep stages, in the vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). A 24-h polysomnography was performed in 20 patients who were in a UWS (n=10) or in a MCS (n=10) because of brain injury. The data were

Corn Zein Nanocarriers for Agrochemical Delivery and Smart Packaging

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores zein, a corn‐derived biodegradable protein, as a multifunctional nanocarrier for sustainable agriculture and packaging. It examines advances in agrochemical delivery, smart packaging, and stimuli‐responsive systems, while addressing scalability, environmental fate, and regulatory barriers.

Diagnostic evaluation of patients with disorders of consciousness with diffusion tensor imaging

Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, 2017
Background With the development of emergency and intensive medical technologies, the survival rate of traumatic brain injury has greatly increased. More and more patients have been converted from severe coma to alleviated state of consciousness, which ...

Cracking the Valence Code: Patterned Facial Kinematics and Neural Signatures of Emotional Expressions in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An AI‐powered system decodes emotional valence from mouse facial expressions, identifying ear dynamics as key indicators. By integrating facial kinematics with synchronized neural recordings, this approach establishes a direct link between behavior and brain activity, advancing automated emotion recognition in animal models.

The GLP1R Agonist Semaglutide Inhibits Reactive Astrocytes and Enhances the Efficacy of Neural Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy in Parkinson's Disease Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) alone, the combined treatment of NSCs with semaglutide more effectively improves motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) mice. This synergistic effect may result from semaglutide's ability to suppress microglial activation, thereby preventing the transformation of resting astrocytes into ...

Distinguish Patients in a Vegetative State from the Minimally Conscious state: moral and legal dilemmas

Revista de Bioética y Derecho, 2013
Research done using current neuroimaging techniques specifically, positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (functional MRI)—have provided evidence that vegetative patients may have fragments of consciousness.

Toward a Collectivist National Defense [PDF]

, 2020
Most philosophers writing on the ethics of war endorse “reductivist individualism,” a view that holds both that killing in war is subject to the very same principles of ordinary morality ; and that morality concerns individuals and their rights, and does
