متن کاملQuantifying qualitative observations in patients' talk to aid the differential diagnosis of transient loss of consciousness

متن کاملTransient loss of consciousness: an ongoing challenge.
Transient loss of consciousness (T-LOC) is a common clinical entity that affects patients and engrosses physicians and national healthcare systems. As a symptom, whether syncopal or nonsyncopal, T-LOC may lead to physical injury, while reducing patient’s self-confidence because of its sporadic and sometimes unpredictable nature. The elucidation of the mechanism and prognostic significance of T-...
