Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is difficult to be detected using convenient and reliable methods. The language change in patients with AD is an important signal of their cognitive status, which potentially helps in early ...

Learning implicit sentiments in Alzheimer's disease recognition with contextual attention features
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023 BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is difficult to diagnose on the basis of language because of the implicit emotion of transcripts, which is defined as a supervised fuzzy implicit emotion classification at the document level. Recent neural network-based

Sleep/Wake Modulation of Polysomnographic Patterns has Prognostic Value in Pediatric Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome. [PDF]
J Clin Sleep Med, 2016 Sleep patterns of pediatric patients in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) have been poorly investigated, and the prognostic potential of polysomnography (PSG) in these subjects is still uncertain. The goal of the study was to identify quantitative PSG indices to be applied as possible prognostic markers in pediatric UWS.We performed PSG in 27 ...

Cognitive Motor Dissociation in Disorders of Consciousness: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Eur J NeurolABSTRACT Introduction In patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), behavioral assessment often underestimates awareness when motor output is absent or unreliable. Cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) refers to patients who appear unresponsive but demonstrate volitional brain responses during neurodiagnostic tests.

The Role of [<sup>18</sup>F]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.

The living dead? Perception of persons in the unresponsive wakefulness syndrome in Germany compared to the USA. [PDF]
BMC Psychol, 2018 The extent to which people ascribe mind to others has been shown to predict the extent to which human rights are conferred. Therefore, in the context of disorders of consciousness (DOC), mind ascription can influence end of life decisions. A previous US-American study indicated that participants ascribed even less mind to patients with unresponsive ...

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

Patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome respond to the pain cries of other people [PDF]
Neurology, 2013 Recent publications show that using imagery instructions, brain activation patterns indicating consciousness can be found in approximately 10% of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS; previously called vegetative state). It is possible, however, that patients who cannot follow instructions (because of limited memory/attention capacities,

Single unit activities recorded in the thalamus and the overlying parietal cortex of subjects affected by disorders of consciousness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The lack of direct neurophysiological recordings from the thalamus and the cortex hampers our understanding of vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally conscious state in humans.
