Sleep, Coma, Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States

, 2017
The concept of consciousness continues to elude scientific efforts to formulate a satisfying and fulfilling definition covering all its aspects. Severe acquired brain injury results in disorders of consciousness (DOC) to different degrees, providing a natural model to critically investigate the neural correlates of consciousness.

Emotion processing in the minimally conscious state [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2004
As a newly described condition distinct from coma or the vegetative state, minimally conscious state (MCS) is characterised by a threshold level of consciousness, and diagnostic criteria have recently been proposed.1 In MCS, cognitively mediated behaviour occurs inconsistently, but is reproducible or sustained enough to be differentiated from reflexive

Decoding Tattoo and Permanent Makeup Pigments: Linking Physicochemical Properties to Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination Profiles Using Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR)‐Based New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study applies QSAR‐based new approach methodologies to 90 synthetic tattoo and permanent makeup pigments, revealing systemic links between their physicochemical properties and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination profiles. The correlation‐driven analysis using SwissADME, ChemBCPP, and principal component analysis uncovers insights
