Parkinsonism associated with prolonged unresponsive wakefulness syndrome after blunt head injury: a clinico-pathological study [PDF]

Free Neuropathology
Objective: Survival after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic parkinsonian-like symptoms is increasing, in particular in those patients developing during disease course an unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) previously termed persistent ...

Meta-analysis of the diagnostic value of functional magnetic resonance imaging for distinguishing unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state and minimally conscious state. [PDF]

Front Neurosci
Objective Unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state (UWS/VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) are considered different clinical entities, but their differential diagnosis remains challenging.

Altered functional connectivity and regional brain activity in a triple-network model in minimally conscious state and vegetative-state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study. [PDF]

Front Behav Neurosci, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in functional connectivity and regional brain activity between and within the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and executive control network (ECN) among individuals with disorders of ...

The Role of [¹⁸F]FDG PET Imaging for the Assessment of Vegetative State or Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Diagnostics (Basel)
Background: Different evidence on the ability of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to assess patients in the vegetative state (VS) or unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) has been reported.

Stationary stable cross-correlation pattern and task specific deviations in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome as well as clinically healthy subjects. [PDF]

PLoS One
Brain dynamics is highly non-stationary, permanently subject to ever-changing external conditions and continuously monitoring and adjusting internal control mechanisms. Finding stationary structures in this system, as has been done recently, is therefore

Outcome Prediction in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State by Non-linear Dynamic Analysis of the EEG. [PDF]

Front Neurol, 2021
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of non-linear dynamic analysis (NDA) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in predicting patient outcome in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS).

Intranasal human-recombinant NGF administration improves outcome in children with post-traumatic unresponsive wakefulness syndrome [PDF]

Biology Direct, 2023
Background Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most dramatic events in pediatric age and, despite advanced neuro-intensive care, the survival rate of these patients remains low.

When, How, and to What Extent Are Individuals with Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome Able to Progress? Functional Independence. [PDF]

Brain Sci, 2020
Accurate estimation of the functional independence of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) is essential to adjust family and clinical expectations and plan long-term necessary resources.

Whole-brain glucose metabolic pattern differentiates minimally conscious state from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
The patient being minimally conscious state (MCS) may benefit from wake‐up interventions aimed at improving quality of life and have a higher probability of recovering higher level of consciousness compared to patients with the unresponsive wakefulness ...
