Minimally Conscious State After Ruptured Giant Basilar Aneurysm

Archives of Neurology, 2009
To 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, 2009
Traumatic 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, 2009
Guidelines 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 ...

Demographical and clinical indices for long-term evolution of patients in vegetative or in minimally conscious state

Brain Injury, 2019
Objective. To evaluate the prognostic value of demographical, anamnestic, and clinical findings on long-term outcome (up to 36 months) in individuals with severe brain injury in vegetative state (VS) or in minimally conscious state (MCS).

Minimally Conscious State and Human Dignity

Neuroethics, 2008
Recent progress in neurosciences has improved our understanding of chronic disorders of consciousness. One example of this advancement is the emergence of the new diagnostic category of minimally conscious state (MCS). The central characteristic of MCS is impaired consciousness.

Misclassifying the Minimally Conscious State Patients

AJOB Neuroscience, 2018
Vukov (2018) maintains that minimally conscious state (MCS) patients are to be treated medically differently from vegetative state (VS) patients, not only because they differ from the latter in the...

The Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2005
In the last 2 decades, the minimally conscious state has been distinguished conceptually from the vegetative state and operational criteria for these diagnoses have been published. Standardized and individualized assessment tools have been developed to assist with the diagnosis of severe disorders of consciousness and the measurement of clinical ...

Neurophysiological patterns of vegetative and minimally conscious states

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2005
This paper reviews the possible usefulness of electroencephalogram (EEG) and evoked potential (EP) recording in vegetative and poorly-responsive patients. There is a marked inter-individual EEG and EP variability, which reflects the state heterogeneity.

Perception of Value and the Minimally Conscious State

HEC Forum, 2015
The "disability paradox" is the idea that for those who become severely disabled, their own quality of life (QoL) assessment remains at or slightly below the QoL assessments of normal controls. This is a source of skepticism regarding third-person QoL judgments of the disabled.
