Hakim–Adams Syndrome: An Unusual Cause of Reversible Postoperative Coma

We report the case of a 72-year-old patient presenting in our ICU with persistent postoperative coma in a context of recent unexplored neurological dysfunction. Detailed medical history taking from the patient's family revealed he recently suffered from gait instability, urinary incontinence, and slight cognitive impairment. These constituted the clinical triad of normal pressure hydrocephalus ...

Uma Formulação Lmi Para a Análise De Estabilidade Com Funções De Lyapunov Do Tipo Lur’e-persidskii

In this paper we propose an unified construction of Lyapunov functions based on Lur’e type functions that allows us to go from Persidskii’s to pure quadratic functions. Such Lyapunov functions allows the establishment of the absolute stability of nonlinear systems with nonlinearities belonging to given sectors. The sectors can be finite or infinite. An stability criterion is formulated in terms...
