Minimally Conscious State and Human Dignity
Neuroethics, 2008Recent 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, 2018Vukov (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, 2005In 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, 2005This 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, 2015The "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.

Minimally Conscious State and Persistent Vegetative State
2019Abstract Advances in critical care medicine have allowed for more patients to survive catastrophic brain injuries. However, the degree of recovery from serious neurologic injury is highly variable. An acute, severe neurologic insult can cause a state of pathologic unconsciousness referred to as a coma.

DBS therapy for the vegetative state and minimally conscious state
2005Twenty-one cases of a vegetative state (VS) and 5 cases of a minimally conscious state (MCS) caused by various kinds of brain damage were evaluated neurologically and electrophysiologically at 3 months after brain injury. These cases were treated by deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, and followed up for over 10 years.

Questions remaining about the minimally conscious state
Neurology, 2002Disorders of human consciousness continue to fascinate and perplex neurologists and neuroscientists. In their landmark monograph, Plum and Posner1 drafted the first comprehensive map of this elusive area and provided the now widely accepted clinical definitions of consciousness and its states of impairment including stupor and coma.

[Consciousness disorders: vegetative state and minimally conscious state].
Przeglad lekarski, 2014Brain injury due to hypoxia, trauma, stroke, poisoning, and other pathological conditions may result in chronic disorders of consciousness in the form of vegetative state (VS) or minimally conscious state (MCS). VS is a condition defining patients who have awaken from coma, open eyes spontaneously or on command, but still are not aware of themselves or
