Nikola Tesla is undoubtedly the greatest inventor in the history of electrical engineering, and what makes him especially fascinating was his unusual mental control of creative visions which might serve as an extraordinary case study for understanding the very biophysical nature of creativity. In this regard, quantum bases of consciousness and creativity are considered in the framework of two c...

The mechanisms underlying anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness remain a matter of debate. Recent electrophysiological reports suggest that while initial propofol infusion provokes an increase in fast rhythms (from beta to gamma range), slow activity (from delta to alpha range) rises selectively during loss of consciousness. Dynamic causal modeling was used to investigate the neural mechanis...

Introduction: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) was described in adults more than children. It was reported in cases of nephrotic syndrome which were mainly on immunosuppressant medications or had severe hypertension. Case report: We report the case of a 9-years old girl who presented with nephrotic syndrome and moderate hypertension. Nine days after the initiation of steroid ...

The differentiation of the vegetative or unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) from the minimally conscious state (MCS) is an important clinical issue. The cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglc) declines when consciousness is lost, and may reveal the residual cognitive function of these patients. However, no quantitative comparisons of cerebral glucose metabolism in VS/UWS and MCS hav...

The paradigm of quantum physics enables us to broaden our holistic worldview, and explain and include phenomena that have hitherto been ignored or denied, which can lead to profound change in any field and in our society at large. The aim of this paper is to present quantum-holographic framework for understanding consciousness and acupuncture system, with significant psychosomatic-cognitive imp...

BACKGROUND Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is one of the most devastating neurological conditions that causing the impaired consciousness. However, there were few studies investigated the changes of brain metabolism in patients with vegetative state (VS) after post-resuscitated HIBI. This study aimed to analyze the change of overall brain metabolism and ...

objective: to determine the prediction value of disorder of consciousness scale (docs) for consciousness recovery after traumatic brain injury (tbi) leading to coma. methods: this is a descriptive-cross-sectional study of the correlation between the level of patients’ consciousness in the first and second weeks and the first 2 months after traumatic brain injury, using docs scale. results: the ...

Case: A 26-year-old man referred to emergency service with coma, bradypnea (respiratory rate = 4 breaths per minute) and pinpoint pupil. On chest auscultation, diffuse coarse crackle and on abdominal auscultation, decrease of abdominal sounds were found. At first evaluation, pulse oximetry showed 19% saturation of oxygen. After oxygen therapy with facial mask and infusion of 8.4 mg naloxone in ...
