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

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 ...

Predicting outcome from subacute unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or vegetative state. [PDF]

Crit Care, 2014
AbstractPredicting recovery of consciousness in patients who survive their coma but evolve to a vegetative state (recently coined unresponsive wakefulness syndrome) remains a challenge. Most previous prognostic studies have focused on the acute coma phase.

Sleep in the Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome and Minimally Conscious State [PDF]

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013
The goal of our study was to investigate different aspects of sleep, namely the sleep-wake cycle and sleep stages, in the vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). A 24-h polysomnography was performed in 20 patients who were in a UWS (n=10) or in a MCS (n=10) because of brain injury. The data were

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

CNS Neurosci Ther
AbstractAimsThe 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 syndrome (UWS).

The misdiagnosis of prolonged disorders of consciousness by a clinical consensus compared with repeated coma-recovery scale-revised assessment

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background Previous studies have shown that a single Coma-Recovery Scale-Revision (CRS-R) assessment can identify high rates of misdiagnosis by clinical consensus.
