and a forthcoming book by another rabbinic organization are the most recent entries in what is among the most discussed halakhic debates of recent times. “Brain death” occurs when patients have incurred brain damage that renders them unable to breathe independently. Increasingly, ventilators can kee...
Brain death occurs whenever there is involvement of higher centers such as Cerebral Cortex and Thalamus (unresponsiveness and deep coma) and Brainstem and Basal ganglionic structures (loss of spontaneous respiration all cranial nerve, and postural reflexes). Involvement of Spinal Cord is less constant...
In the present study, we found that necroptotic cell death occurs when OLs are subjected to OGD, which is used as an in vitro model of HI. OGD/zVAD insult upregulates RIPK3 and increases the RIPK3–RIPK1, RIPK3-MLKL, and RIPK3-CaMKIIδ interactions. Furthermore, the inhibition of...
Now, the term “Donation after Circulatory Death” (DCD) is used instead andmeans: “Circulatory death occurs when the heart hasirreversibly stopped beatingand when circulation andoxygenation to the tissues irreversibly stops.” (Emphasis added) ...
The pathophysiology ofbrain deathis linked to a catastrophic increase inintracranial pressure. Massive amounts ofcatecholaminesare released, leading to increased systemicarterial blood pressure, sometimes accompanied by concomitant reflex bradycardia,bradyarrhythmia, or both. Brain death occurs after enough neu...
Brain death, also commonly referred to as death by neurologic criteria, has been considered a legal definition of death for decades. Its determination involves many considerations and subtleties. In this review, we discuss the philosophy and history of b

TBI can cause a host of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects, and outcome can range from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. The 20th century has seen critical developments in diagnosis and treatment which have decreased death rates and improved outcome. These includ...
In summary, increased AA utilization in the AD brain might over time reduce the balance between positive effects (energy production) and negative ones (hyperammonia, high urea levels, increased synthesis of AD markers), resulting in abnormal neuron and glia death [31]. 4.2. Some Potential, Spec...
Yourbraincan also swell as a result of injury, illness, or other reasons.Brain swelling, though, can quickly cause serious problems -- including death. It's also usually more difficult to treat. As your body's master control system, thebrainis critical to overall function. Yet, the thick,...
