Cerebral processing in the minimally conscious state
Neurology, 2004We studied a patient in a minimally conscious state using PET and cognitive evoked potentials. Cerebral metabolism was below half of normal values. Auditory stimuli with emotional valence (infant cries and the patient's own name) induced a much more widespread activation than did meaningless noise; the activation pattern was comparable with that ...

Ethical Aspects of Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013The growing diffusion of life support procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), allows physicians to keep a person alive almost indefinitely when the person's heart has stopped beating autonomously or spontaneous breathing is precluded.

NEUROSTIMULATION AND THE MINIMALLY CONSCIOUS STATE
Bioethics, 2008ABSTRACTNeurostimulation to restore cognitive and physical functions is an innovative and promising technique for treating patients with severe brain injury that has resulted in a minimally conscious state (MCS). The technique may involve electrical stimulation of the central thalamus, which has extensive projections to the cerebral cortex.

Clinical management of the minimally conscious state
2015The minimally conscious state (MCS) was defined as a disorder of consciousness (DoC) distinct from the vegetative state more than a decade ago. While this condition has become widely recognized, there are still no guidelines to steer the approach to assessment and treatment.

Recovery From Vegetative State to Minimally Conscious State
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2016In this study, we attempted to demonstrate the change of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) concurrent with the recovery from a vegetative state (VS) to a minimally conscious state (MCS) in a patient with brain injury. A 54-year-old male patient had suffered from head trauma and underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately after ...

Minimally Conscious and Vegetative State
2020A small number of patients develop a disorder of consciousness (DOC) after surviving severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), meaning that after cessation of sedation they show no (vegetative state (VS)) or limited and fluctuating (minimally conscious state (MCS)) behavioural signs of consciousness.

Minimally Conscious State After Ruptured Giant Basilar Aneurysm
Archives of Neurology, 2009To report the clinical and radiologic findings in a case of transient minimally conscious state after rupture and coiling of a giant basilar aneurysm.Case report.Neuroscience intensive care unit.A 44-year-old man who developed a transient minimally conscious state in association with perianeurysmal edema in the rostral brainstem and thalamus after ...

Fast awakening from minimally conscious state with apomorphine
Brain Injury, 2009Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce long-term severe disorders of consciousness. Evidence suggests an underlying dopaminergic deficit. Dopamine agonists may therefore play an important role in recovery of consciousness.To explore the response to continuous subcutaneous administration of apomorphine in a patient who had remained in minimally ...

Emergence from minimally conscious state
Neurology, 2009Guidelines for defining the minimally conscious state (MCS) specify behaviors that characterize emergence, including "reliable and consistent" functional communication (accurate yes/no responding). Guidelines were developed by consensus because of lack of empirical data.To evaluate the utility of the operational threshold for emergence from ...
