Preserved somatosensory discrimination predicts consciousness recovery in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018
To assess somatosensory discrimination and command following using a vibrotactile P300-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS), and investigate the predictive role of this cognitive process on the clinical outcomes.Thirteen UWS patients and six healthy controls each participated in two experimental runs in which ...

Polysomnographic Sleep Patterns in Children and Adolescents in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome

Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2015
We aimed (i) to search for qualitative sleep patterns for pediatric unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (SPPUWS) in prolonged polysomnographic (PSG) recordings in children and adolescents with subacute severe disorders of consciousness due to an acquired brain damage; (ii) to investigate the clinical relevance of SPPUWS and of possible neurophysiological

Consciousness Study of Subjects with Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome Employing Multimodal Interfaces

2014
The paper presents a novel multimodal-based methodology for consciousness study of individuals with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. Two interfaces were employed in the experiments: eye gaze tracking system – CyberEye developed at the Multimedia Systems Department, and EEG device with electrode placement in the international 10-20 standard.

Coherence in resting-state EEG as a predictor for the recovery from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome

Journal of Neurology, 2016
We investigated differences of EEG coherence within (short-range), and between (long-range) specified brain areas as diagnostic markers for different states in disorders of consciousness (DOC), and their predictive value for recovery from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS). EEGs of 73 patients and 24 controls were recorded and coma recovery scale-

[Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: clinical predictors of late recovery.]

Recenti progressi in medicina, 2018
Patients affected by the outcomes of serious traumatic and/or non-traumatic brain injury may show progressive recovery characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical conditions, which are often not completely different, but of differing seriousness. The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) are syndromes that may ...

Transitory Vegetative State/unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome: Does it Exist?

2012
Since the invention of the artificial respirator in the 1950s, many patients who previously did not survive their severe traumatic or hypoxic-ischemic brain damage and coma can now be artificially ventilated and their cardiac circulation sustained. This has led to the redefinition of death based on neurological criteria (i.e., brain death) and the ...

Occult Cerebral Abscess Revealed by FDG PET/CT in a Case of Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Abstract A 51-year-old woman developed profound coma complicating subarachnoid hemorrhage after aneurysmal rupture. An external ventricular drain was inserted. FDG PET/CT was performed for prognostication purposes and showed global cortical hypometabolism. This was consistent with the clinical findings of an unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
