Document Summary
Dualism - the philosophical belief that reality consists of two distinct entities: mind and matter (body) and similar ideas would be thought of in religions such as souls. Coma - no response to any stimuli and no signs of consciousness. Vegetative state - people who show sleep-wake cycles but no signs on being aware of himself. Unable to interact and show no signs of voluntary response. Minimally conscious state - patient has to show some evidence of voluntary behaviour or respondence to simple commands. Brain death - irreversible unconsciousness with complete loss of brain function. Locked-in syndrome - individual is fully conscious but body is completely paralyzed with the exception of eye movement. * the glasgow coma scale is used to measure patient responsiveness. The restoration theory - sleep is essential for revitalizing and restoring the physiological processes that keep the body and mind healthy and properly functioning.
