brain deathDiscusses the spontaneous movement in patients diagnosed with brain death. Evidence that a number of patients have spontaneous movements that originate in the spinal cord; How the families of these patients often mistake these movements as evidence of brain activity....
While disturbing to family members and health care professionals, spontaneous movement in patients diagnosed with brain death may be more common than previously realized. In the January 11 issue of Neurology, researchers from Argentina and Spain reported on movement in patients who showed no brain ...
While primary death of neurons occurring within a short time after trauma is not a realistic target for therapy, secondary cell death might be prevented by new neuroprotective strategies. Although there are increasing data concerning cell rescue after ischemic and traumatic brain injury through the ...
摘要: The authors examine trends in donation after cardiac death (DCD) and donation after brain death (DBD) to assess whether expansion of the donor pool by augmenting DCD has occurred to the detriment of DBD. See brief communication by Saidi et al on page 2536....

AimsA discussion of the literature concerning the impact of care pathways in the complex and by definition multidisciplinary process of organ donation following brain death. BackgroundEnhancing the quality and safety of organs for transplantation has become a central concern for governmental and profession...
After death, gene expression in brain and spleen tissue was relatively stable. But genes in muscle tissue went crazy. More than 600 either increased or decreased their activity. And those increases in gene expression waxed and waned in...
In a challenge to the idea that brain death is final, researchers have revived the disembodied brains of pigs four hours after the animals were slaughtered. Although the experiments stopped short of restoring consciousness, they raise questions about the ethics of the approach — and, more ...
conventional donation after brain death, without consideration of warm ischaemia before organ procurement. Establishment of clinical protocols and ethical and legal frameworks for DCDD of other organs is underway. This Review provides a timely evaluation of the potential for DCDD in heart transplantation...
In ischemic stroke, the primary injury is the sudden cessation of blood supply to the vascular region, leading to neuronal cell death and the formation of an ischemic core surrounded by a hypoperfused area known as the hemidiaphragm, and peripheral immune cells play an important role in the sec...
