Research shows that about 40% of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) are misdiagnosed: often thought of as unconscious, many are, in fact, either conscious or minimally conscious. Such misdiagnosis severely impairs the treatment and recovery of patients with DOC. However, the field of DOC is rapidly developing. One of the major game-changers for it is neurotechnology. Meet and greet Dr. Caroline Schnakers - Assistant Director of Research at Casa Colina Hospital in Pomona, California, USA. Dr. Schakers is a world-renown expert in DOC. She redefines this field to offer help and provide hope to patients with DOC and their families. Dr. Schnakers's goal is to support physicians and other clinical personnel involved in the care of patients with DOC so that they can offer their patients the best possible diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. In this episode of the Neurocareers podcast, Dr. Schnakers illustrates the DOC spectrum with an example from her practice with DOC patients. Dr. Schnakers also discusses the main misconceptions about the DOC, such as "Sleeping beauty," "There is only coma," and others. She provides insights about using neurotechnology to advance the field of DOC. Last but not least, Dr. Schnakers shares important career advice that can be very helpful to those at the crossroads of choosing their scientific career. Stay tuned!  During this episode, you will learn the following: [00:00] Episode intro and what's in for you in today's episode. [01:42] Meet Caroline Schnakers, Ph.D. from Casa Colina Hospital, Pomona, California, USA. [02:50] The type of work Dr. Schnakers is doing and her shift from diagnosis to treating the disorder of consciousness. [06:04] What are disorders of consciousness and the clinical difference between a vegetative and conscious state? [13:38] What inspired Dr. Schnakers into the disorders of consciousness space, and what has helped her to work there for so many years? [16:24] The most common misconception around disorders of consciousness. [20:16] Misdiagnosis of the unconscious state and why it isn't easy to detect signs of consciousness.  [23:02] What helped Dr. Schnakers to be such a good specialist in disorders of consciousness [26:28] The change that is happening in the field of disorders of consciousness and the involvement of neurotechnology in the process [34:16] What do we know now about patients with disorders of consciousness that we didn't know ten years ago? [16:55] The challenges that are becoming more prominent as the field of disorders of consciousness evolves. [43:34] The common knowledge and technology gap between experts and clinicians in Europe, the States, and other parts of the world.  [45:18] What was challenging for Dr. Schnakers when doing research and looking for new information in the field? [48:10] Dr. Schnaker's most unexpected findings throughout her research career of studying patients with disorders of consciousness. [52:03] Where Dr. Schnakers sees neurotechnology in the next ten years and how it will help clinicians with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of consciousness. [54:37] Dr. Schnaker's plans for her research and the work she is doing. [56:41] Dr. Schnaker recommends how to get into the path of helping people with disorders of consciousness and neurotechnology. [59:38] Dr. Schnaker's advice on achieving the impossible in neuroscience and disorders of consciousness fields. [01:01:53] How to reach out and learn more about Dr. Schnakers. Notable Quotes It's difficult to detect signs of consciousness; sometimes, it can misdiagnose the unconscious state. Peer and peer learning and mentorship learning are important in developing your expertise. If a technology applies to severe brain injury, it will also apply to moderate brain injury and all types of brain injury. It's possible to have a patient that is conscious to some point and not have any signs of consciousness at the bedside. We're in an evidence-based era, and based on the evidence, you can make the treatment work. Suppose companies are interested in evidence-based, then in the future. In that case, we will be able to have good products for clinicians, and patients will be treated better and earlier when we can do more for their recovery. It's not always easy but always think out of the box.

My guest’s story this week is the ultimate example of how, as humans, our thirst for life and survival forms a refusal to accept defeat. After being diagnosed at the age of 11 with two rare conditions, Victoria Arlen lost her ability to speak, eat, walk and move, and quickly slipped into a vegetative state. She spent the next two years hooked to a lifeline in a hospital where she was written off as "a lost cause.” Despite medical professionals agreeing that there was little to no hope of recovery or survival, Victoria regained cognitive function after two years. However, she couldn’t see, move, or talk, but could hear the conversations around her—with no way of letting her family know she was awake. Not only did she wake up after four years, but she has gone to become a Paralympic gold and silver medallist, learned how to walk after 10 years in a wheelchair and was a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. Victoria’s story and experiences teach us how the importance of controlling your mindset, refusing to give up and expressing daily gratitude made her - and can make you - limitless.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Vegetative state is commonly defined as "wakefulness with awareness." Patients with a vegetative state diagnosis will show only reflex behavior, are not able to follow commands and are unable to communicate. This barrier in the inability for patients to communicate can make it difficult for doctors to measure their level of consciousness. In fact, some patients who are believed to be in a completely vegetative state may be more aware of what's going on than people realize. Host Brian McDonough joins Dr. Adrian Owen, Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University. They talk about how the use of MRI technology is aiding doctors in measuring the level of consciousness in patients under vegetative states.

Background: Physicians treating patients in the vegetative state (VS) must deal with uncertainty in diagnosis and prognosis, as well as ethical issues. We examined whether physicians' attitudes toward medical and ethical challenges vary across two national medical practice settings. Methods: A comparative survey was conducted among German and Canadian specialty physicians, based on a case vignette about the VS. Similarities and differences of participants' attitudes toward medical and ethical challenges between the two samples were analyzed with non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney-U-Test). Results: The overall response rate was 13.4%. Eighty percent of all participants correctly applied the diagnostic category of VS with no significant differences between countries. Many of the participants who chose the correct diagnosis of VS attributed capabilities to the patient, particularly the ability to feel pain (70%), touch (51%) and to experience hunger and thirst (35%). A large majority of participants (94%) considered the limitation of life-sustaining treatment (LST) under certain circumstances, but more Canadian participants were in favor of always limiting LST (32% vs. 12%; Chi-square: p < 0.001). Finding long-term care placement was considered more challenging by Canadian participants whereas discontinuing LST was much more challenging for German participants. Conclusions: Differences were found between two national medical practice settings with respect to physicians' experiences and attitudes about treatment limitation about VS in spite of comparable diagnostic knowledge.
