BACKGROUND: The conscious state is maintained through intact communication between brain regions. However, studies on global and regional connectivity changes in unconscious state have been inconsistent. These inconsistencies could arise from unclear...
Differential diagnosis of acute loss of consciousness (LOC) is crucial due to the need for different therapeutic strategies despite similar clinical presentations among etiologies such as nonconvulsive status epilepticus, metabolic encephalopathy, an...
Diagnosis of disorders of consciousness (DOC) remains a formidable challenge. Deep learning methods have been widely applied in general neurological and psychiatry disorders, while limited in DOC domain. Considering the successful use of resting-stat...
A 43-year-old male Bell 214C helicopter pilot presented to the emergency ward with flu-like syndrome. His nasopharyngeal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 real-time polymerase chain reaction test was positive, and a chest computed tomog...
In current anesthesiology practice, anesthesiologists infer the state of unconsciousness without directly monitoring the brain. Drug- and patient-specific electroencephalographic (EEG) signatures of anesthesia-induced unconsciousness have been identi...
In recent years, specific cortical networks have been proposed to be crucial for sustaining consciousness, including the posterior hot zone and frontoparietal resting state networks (RSN). Here, we computationally evaluate the relative contributions ...
We want to predict body weight while lying in bed for an elderly patient who is unable to move by himself/herself. To this end, we have implemented a prototype system that estimates the body weight of a person lying on a smart mat in nonrestraint and...
This study quantified eight small-molecule neurotransmitters collected simultaneously from prefrontal cortex of C57BL/6J mice ( = 23) during wakefulness and during isoflurane anesthesia (1.3%). Using isoflurane anesthesia as an independent variable e...
Determining the level of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) remains challenging. To address this challenge, resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) has been widely used for detecting the local, regional, and network activity differe...
OBJECTIVE: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) carries a high mortality rate, even with prompt transfer to a medical center. An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model that improves predictive ability through pattern recognitio...
