TL;DR: Recommendations were developed based on literature review using the GRADE system, discussion integrating the literature with the collective experience of the participants and critical review by an impartial jury and emphasis was placed on the principle that recommendations should be based not only on the quality of the data but also tradeoffs and translation into practice.

TL;DR: The medical community has been unsuccessful in changing the pejorative image associated with the words vegetative state, so it would be better to change the term itself, unresponsive wakefulness syndrome or UWS.

TL;DR: Moderate- to high-quality evidence is found to support weak recommendations for intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure to <140 mmHg within six-hours of ICH onset, early surgery for patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale score 9–12, and avoidance of corticosteroids.

TL;DR: Background: Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a nervous system infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb).

TL;DR: The brains of six patients showed remarkably similar features consistent with a neurodegenerative disease with neuronal loss and gliosis and absence of inflammatory infiltrates, and the features required for the neuropathological diagnosis were established by consensus.
