  • Recovery from Disorders of Consciousness: Mechanisms, Prognosis and Emerging Therapies
    REVIEWS Recovery from disorders of consciousness: mechanisms, prognosis and emerging therapies Brian L. Edlow 1,2, Jan Claassen3, Nicholas D. Schiff4 and David M. Greer 5 ✉ Abstract | Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) caused by severe brain injuries. Advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques have revealed new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying recovery of consciousness and have enabled the identification of preserved brain networks in patients who seem unresponsive, thus raising hope for more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Emerging evidence suggests that covert consciousness, or cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), is present in up to 15–20% of patients with DoC and that detection of CMD in the intensive care unit can predict functional recovery at 1 year post injury. Although fundamental questions remain about which patients with DoC have the potential for recovery, novel pharmacological and electrophysiological therapies have shown the potential to reactivate injured neural networks and promote re-emergence of consciousness. In this Review, we focus on mechanisms of recovery from DoC in the acute and subacute-to-chronic stages, and we discuss recent progress in detecting and predicting recovery of consciousness. We also describe the developments in pharmacological and electro- physiological therapies that are creating new opportunities to improve the lives of patients with DoC. Disorders of consciousness (DoC) are characterized In this Review, we discuss mechanisms of recovery by alterations in arousal and/or awareness, and com- from DoC and prognostication of outcome, as well as 1Center for Neurotechnology mon causes of DoC include cardiac arrest, traumatic emerging treatments for patients along the entire tempo- and Neurorecovery, brain injury (TBI), intracerebral haemorrhage and ral continuum of DoC.

  • Acute Stress Reaction Medical Appendix
    ACUTE STRESS REACTION MEDICAL APPENDIX (including acute stress disorder, shell shock, combat fatigue) 1. Various attempts have been made to formally classify psychiatric disorders, the two major systems being: 1.1. The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders (World Health Organisation, Geneva) is part of the 10th edition of the International Classification of Disease. This appendix follows the common abbreviation of ICD-10. It is the international system used by the majority of clinical psychiatrists in Great Britain. 1.2. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fourth edition) (American Psychiatric Association Washington DC). References to it in this appendix follow the common abbreviation of DSM-IV. It is a system devised mainly by and for workers in the USA. However UK psychiatrists were consulted in its formulation. 2. The two systems above have been in existence for many years but only in their current editions have they been closely comparable. 3. This appendix discusses the clinical features and aetiology of acute stress reaction. It is generally based on the ICD-10 system with any major comparisons and distinctions with DSM-IV being discussed where relevant. The ICD-10 codes (numbers usually prefixed with F or Z) are also provided. REACTIONS TO STRESSFUL EXPERIENCES: THE NORMAL RESPONSE 4. Most people react to stress with an emotional or somatic (physical) response. These are normal reactions and do not constitute mental disorders in themselves, although some people seek help from their doctor. What is interpreted as being stressful will vary from one individual to another and the ways in which they respond vary similarly.

  • Catatonia Rating Scales in Patients with Persistent Vegetative State

Both PVS and catatonia can be evaluated using clinical observation and rating scales. We intended to study how catatonia rating scales perform in assessing PVS patients as compared to the standard PVS scale. Methods: Thirty residents from two nursing homes for PVS patients were evaluated with Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) and two catatonia rating scales (Bush–Francis Catatonia Rating Scale [BFCRS] and KANNER scale). Ten residents recovering from PVS were selected as controls, and twenty residents still meeting the criteria of PVS were selected as PVS group. Three evaluations were assessed over 6 months. We compared and analyzed the scores of each visit. The components of BFCRS and KANNER scales were also analyzed to create a simpler version for PVS patients. Results: BFCRS and KANNER scales, as well as their simplified versions, had significant correlations with CRS-R (p < 0.001 for all). This could imply that catatonia rating scales could also be used in evaluating PVS patients. Upon closer examinations of scale components, all the three scales shared components such as consciousness levels and eye movements, but BFCRS and KANNER have evaluations on rigidity and negativism, which CRS-R does not had.

  • The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders
    The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders Clinical descriptions and diagnostic guidelines World Health Organization -1- Preface In the early 1960s, the Mental Health Programme of the World Health Organization (WHO) became actively engaged in a programme aiming to improve the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders. At that time, WHO convened a series of meetings to review knowledge, actively involving representatives of different disciplines, various schools of thought in psychiatry, and all parts of the world in the programme. It stimulated and conducted research on criteria for classification and for reliability of diagnosis, and produced and promulgated procedures for joint rating of videotaped interviews and other useful research methods. Numerous proposals to improve the classification of mental disorders resulted from the extensive consultation process, and these were used in drafting the Eighth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-8). A glossary defining each category of mental disorder in ICD-8 was also developed. The programme activities also resulted in the establishment of a network of individuals and centres who continued to work on issues related to the improvement of psychiatric classification (1, 2). The 1970s saw further growth of interest in improving psychiatric classification worldwide. Expansion of international contacts, the undertaking of several international collaborative studies, and the availability of new treatments all contributed to this trend. Several national psychiatric bodies encouraged the development of specific criteria for classification in order to improve diagnostic reliability. In particular, the American Psychiatric Association developed and promulgated its Third Revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, which incorporated operational criteria into its classification system.

    Unconsciousness - first aid: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia U.S. National Library of Medicine GO About MedlinePlus Site Map FAQs Customer Support Health Topics Drugs & Supplements Videos & Tools Espaol Home → Medical Encyclopedia → Unconsciousness - first aid Unconsciousness - first aid Unconsciousness is when a person is unable to respond to people and activities. Doctors often call this a coma or being in a comatose state. Other changes in awareness can occur without becoming unconscious. These are called altered mental status or changed mental status. They include sudden confusion, disorientation, or stupor. Unconsciousness or any other sudden change in mental status must be treated as a medical emergency. Causes Unconsciousness can be caused by nearly any major illness or injury. It can also be caused by substance (drug) and alcohol use. Choking on an object can result in unconsciousness as well. Brief unconsciousness (or fainting) is often a result from dehydration, low blood sugar, or temporary low blood pressure. It can also be caused by serious heart or nervous system problems. A doctor will determine if the affected person needs tests. Other causes of fainting include straining during a bowel movement (vasovagal syncope), coughing very hard, or breathing very fast (hyperventilating). Symptoms The person will be unresponsive (does not respond to activity, touch, sound, or other stimulation). The following symptoms may occur after a person has been unconscious: Amnesia for (not remembering) events before, during, and even after

  • Altered Level of Consciousness (Aloc) & Syncope
    SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES STANDARD PROCEDURES: ALOC & SYNCOPE ALTERED LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS (ALOC) & SYNCOPE (FAINTING) ALOC Altered level of consciousness (ALOC) is a state of consciousness where an individual is not as awake, alert, or able to understand or react normally. ALOC can be caused by a head injury, medicines, alcohol or drugs, dehydration, or some diseases, such as diabetes. There are different levels of ALOC, which include: Lethargic: unusual drowsiness with reduced awareness or interest in surroundings Somnolent: sleeping unless awakened by someone or something and returns to sleep when left alone Stupor: sleeping unless awakened by something done that is painful and returns to sleep when left alone Coma: look asleep but can’t be awakened at all Confusion: easily distracted and may be slow to respond, disoriented and not able to tell time and place Delirium: severe confusion and disorientation and may have delusions (belief in things that are not real) or hallucinations (sensing things that are not real). The degree of confusion may get better or worse over time. Presentation of any of these symptoms in the school setting warrants a call to EMS/9-1-1, nurse and parents immediately. Syncope Syncope (fainting) is a transient loss of consciousness accompanied by loss of postural tone due to inadequate blood supply to the brain. This loss of consciousness is usually brief. Fainting may have no medical significance, or the cause can be a serious disorder. Therefore, treat loss of consciousness as a medical emergency until the signs and symptoms are relieved and the cause is known. Typical vasovagal syncope occurs in a person in upright position with appropriate stimulus (e.g., fear or pain).
