Tracking the recovery of consciousness from coma.
Predicting the chances of recovery of consciousness and communication in patients who survive their coma but transit in a vegetative state or minimally conscious state (MCS) remains a major challenge for their medical caregivers. Very few studies have examined the slow neuronal changes underlying functional recovery of consciousness from severe chronic brain damage. A case study in this issue o...
متن کاملAn unusual autoerotic fatality associated with chloroform inhalation.
We report the death of a young male attributed to chloroform poisoning during autoerotic asphyxia. He was found lying on the floor of his apartment, prone on a piece of foam and a towel. His eyes were bound with a towel, his lower face and nose were almost entirely covered with duct tape surrounding a rubber hose in his mouth. The other end of the hose was loosely sitting inside an open bottle ...
متن کاملA Case of Puerperal Convulsions. Treated with Chloroform Inhalation

متن کاملTransferrin saturation and recovery from coma in cerebral malaria.
To determine if the elevated transferrin saturations found in some patients with severe malaria are associated with an adverse outcome in cerebral malaria, we retrospectively measured baseline saturations in stored serum samples from 81 Zambian children with strictly defined cerebral malaria. The children had been treated with quinine, sulfadox-ine-pyrimethamine, and intravenous infusions of ei...
متن کاملIngestion, inhalation, and dermal exposures to chloroform and trichloroethene from tap water.
Individuals are exposed to volatile compounds present in tap water by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. Traditional risk assessments for water often only consider ingestion exposure to toxic chemicals, even though showering has been shown to increase the body burden of certain chemicals due to inhalation exposure and dermal absorption. We collected and analyzed time-series samples o...
