Recovery from “Brain Death”: A Neurologist's Apologia

Recovery from "brain death": a neurologist's apologia.

A survey of American neurologists about brain death: understanding the conceptual basis and diagnostic tests for brain death

BACKGROUND Neurologists often diagnose brain death (BD) and explain BD to families in the intensive care unit. This study was designed to determine whether neurologists agree with the standard concept of death (irreversible loss of integrative unity of the organism) and understand the state of the brain when BD is diagnosed. METHODS A previously validated survey was mailed to a random sample ...

What anesthesiologists should know about what neurologists should know about declaring brain death.

In Rep2yy:-We regret that Drs. Black and Mackersie clearly have misunderstood the most important result of our study. Our primary goal was to find the effective dose of rectal acetaminophen in children would definitely benefit if similar study designs are carried out using other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and combinations of pain killers in children. during a day-case surgical setting....

Recovery from N-hydroxyurethan-induced death.

Bacteria (Escherichia coli) can recover from the lethal action of N-hydroxyurethan when they are incubated in drug-free liquid medium. This recovery, which is dependent upon energy metabolism, does not occur on solid medium. Recovery is accompanied by repair of the cellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). A bacterial mutant deficient in DNA polymerase was extremely sensitive to the lethal action o...
