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 ...

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.

Could Arterial Spin Labeling Distinguish Patients in Minimally Conscious State from Patients in Vegetative State?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
PurposeDiagnostic error is common among patients with vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS). The purpose of this article is to use three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pcASL) to compare cerebral blood flow (CBF)

Longitudinal Bedside Assessments of Brain Networks in Disorders of Consciousness: Case Reports From the Field

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Clinicians are regularly faced with the difficult challenge of diagnosing consciousness after severe brain injury. As such, as many as 40% of minimally conscious patients who demonstrate fluctuations in arousal and awareness are known to be misdiagnosed ...

Functional Brain Network Topology Discriminates between Patients with Minimally Conscious State and Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
Consciousness arises from the functional interaction of multiple brain structures and their ability to integrate different complex patterns of internal communication.

Consciousness: A Neurological Perspective

Behavioural Neurology, 2011
Consciousness is a state so essentially entwined with human experience, yet so difficult to conceptually define and measure. In this article, we explore how a bidimensional model of consciousness involving both level of arousal and subjective awareness ...

Technology-based assessment in patients with disorders of consciousness

Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità
Introduction. A number of studies highlight the difficulty in forming a diagnosis for patients with disorders of consciousness when this is established merely on behavioral assessments. Background.
