Persistent vegetative state [PDF]
British Journal of General Practice, 2010 Mick Leach, commenting on David Jewell's editorial on assisted dying,1 writes that ‘we are part of a wider global society that is in many ways becoming more uniform … that does not mean that we should necessarily always take the same route as other countries’.2 I would like to underline two key cases that happened in the UK and Italy that have been ...

Vegetative incompatibility and potential involvement of a mycovirus in the Italian population of Geosmithia morbida [PDF]
, 2015 Studies carried out during an Italian outbreak of the Thousand Cankers Disease of walnut, demonstrated that non-coalescing cankers on host plants, separated by equidistant uninfected zones, were associated with incompatible strains of Geosmithia morbida.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study develops a 3D optical sensor formed by mechanical buckling and equipped with wireless communication for navigation. Off‐the‐shelf electronic components are assembled onto a flexible circuit board, followed by mechanical strain‐guiding, facilitating the integration of an out‐of‐plane sensing configuration with a signal processing module. This

Storage Potential of Soil Functional Carbon Fractions in the World's Largest Plantations
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Climate warming and drying increase the loss of mineral‐associated and particulate organic carbon during the conversion of natural forests to plantations. Based on a survey of the world's largest plantations, the study quantifies the soil carbon deficit in plantations and assesses benchmarks and targets for functional soil organic carbon, highlighting ...

Cognitive processing in non-communicative patients: what can event-related potentials tell us?
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Event-related potentials (ERP) have been proposed to improve the differential diagnosis of non-responsive patients. We investigated the potential of the P300 as a reliable marker of conscious processing in patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS). Eleven

Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State [PDF]
Science, 2006 We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state. When asked to imagine playing tennis or moving around her home, the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.
