Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP): A Comprehensive Review of Types, Pathophysiology, and Treatment Approaches

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is an autoimmune disorder causing demyelination, leading to distal weakness, sensory loss, and autonomic dysfunction. Immune activation triggers macrophage‐mediated myelin damage and conduction failure.

Respiratory Variability in Disorders of Consciousness: Relationship and Clinical Applications

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Respiratory variability (RV) was analyzed in patients with consciousness disorders and healthy controls. Significant RV differences were found, with random forest models outperforming others in predicting clinical outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Respiratory variability (RV) reflects the dynamic modulation of breathing patterns by the central nervous ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
