3. Intermitências da morte: redefinições do ser humano na difusão da morte cerebral como fato médico
Este artigo apresenta diferentes definições de morte cerebral, resgatando parte do processo de sua construção como fato médico. Desde o final dos anos 1960, quando foi publicada em importante veículo de divulgação científica da comunidade médica, o Journal of the American Medical Association, a definição de morte cerebral suscitou adesões e cont

4. O uso de células-tronco adultas em modelos experimentais de crises convulsivas. / The use of adult stem cells in experimental models of seizures.
In Brazil, it is estimated that epilepsy affects from 2% of the population, about three million people at different ages and social classes. The use of antiepileptic drugs is the most common form of seizure control, although about 50- 70% of patients with epilepsy are refractory to medication. Because of difficulties in finding effective treatments, it is cr

6. Whole-brain death reconsidered--physiological facts and philosophy.
Four main areas generating confusion in discussion on brain death are identified as a) the relation of criteria of death to concepts of death, b) the argument about whether death is an event or a process, c) the inadequate differentiation of different neurological entities having different cardiac prognoses, and d) insufficient awareness of the separate issu

7. Whole-brain death reconsidered.
The author, a philosopher, suggests that the concept of death should be left as it is 'in its present indeterminate state', and that we ought to reject attempts to define death in terms of whole-brain death or any other type of brain death, including cerebral death and 'irreversible coma'. Instead of 'fiddling with the definition of death' clear rules should

8. Re-examining death: against a higher brain criterion.
While there is increasing pressure on scarce health care resources, advances in medical science have blurred the boundary between life and death. Individuals can survive for decades without consciousness and individuals whose whole brains are dead can be supported for extended periods. One suggested response is to redefine death, justifying a higher brain cr

10. Spatial analysis of cell death and Hsp70 induction in brain, thymus, and bone marrow of the hyperthermic rat
Heat shock response and programmed cell death are cellular reactions to stressful stimuli. Previous studies have not correlated these responses in vivo at the spatial level in mammalian tissues. This study uses a dual procedure involving immunocytochemistry for Hsp70 localization and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphat

11. Primary brainstem death: a clinico-pathological study.
A case of primary brainstem death in a man with surgically treated cerebellar haemorrhage is reported. Necropsy revealed extensive necrosis confined to the brainstem and cerebellum. The absence of diabetes insipidus and the persistence of electroencephalographic activity were the characteristic clinical features of the case. This differentiates the condition

12. Long survival in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
A case is reported of a boy who at the age of 14 years developed subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. He deteriorated over a period of 9 months, improved greatly and remained stable for 7 years before relapse. The final deterioration to death extended over 6 years. During the whole period he was examined regularly and the electroencephalogram recorded at 3 t
