Functional connectivity in whole-brain and network analysis differentiates minimally conscious from unresponsive patients: a resting-state fNIRS study

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Accurately assessing and detecting residual awareness in patients with vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) remains significant challenges.

The Comorbidities Coma Scale (CoCoS): Psychometric Properties and Clinical Usefulness in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Although comorbidities have a well-known impact on the functional recovery of patients with disorders of consciousness, including coma, vegetative state (VS), and minimally conscious state (MCS), a specific tool for their assessment in this challenging ...

Assessment of Event-Related EEG Power After Single-Pulse TMS in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State Patients [PDF]

, 2016
In patients without a behavioral response, non-invasive techniques and new methods of data analysis can complement existing diagnostic tools by providing a method for detecting covert signs of residual cognitive function and awareness.

Pupil constrictions to subjective brightness as a gateway to probe consciousness in non communicating patients

Scientific Reports
Retinal illumination primarily determines pupil size, yet extra-retinal factors like subjective brightness also influence pupillary responses. Previous works reported that in healthy individuals, stimuli whose semantic content evokes brightness cause ...

Mindsight: Diagnostics in Disorders of Consciousness

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2012
Diagnosis of patients with disorders of consciousness (comprising coma, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, and minimally conscious state) has long been dependent on unstandardized behavioral tests.

The effect of cranioplasty on outcomes and complications of unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally responsive state

Brain Impairment
Background Studies that have shown neurological improvement following cranioplasty (CP) after decompressive craniectomy (DC) in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) did not include control groups. The aim of this study was to assess the justification of CP for

Outcome in Patients with Isolated Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2018
Introduction. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of death. Withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) can be initiated if there is little anticipated chance of recovery to an acceptable quality of life.
