Summary
The Curing Coma Campaign aims to improve coma prognostication and outcomes. However, its approach may face significant challenges in lower-middle income countries like India, requiring tailored strategies for success.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Critical Care Medicine
- Neurology
Background:
- The Neurocritical Care Society launched the Curing Coma Campaign (CCC) in 2019.
- The campaign convenes experts in coma science, neurocritical care, and neurorehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advance beyond current coma definitions and limitations.
- To develop improved prognostication methods for coma patients.
- To identify novel therapies and enhance patient outcomes.
Main Methods:
- The CCC employs a multidisciplinary approach to address coma.
- The campaign aims to foster research and collaboration in neurocritical care.
Main Results:
- The CCC's ambitious goals present challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings.
- Potential obstacles exist for implementing the CCC's strategies in lower-middle income countries.
- India faces specific hurdles that need to be addressed for effective coma management.
Conclusions:
- The universal applicability of the CCC model requires careful consideration in diverse global contexts.
- Addressing unique challenges in countries like India is crucial for the CCC's success.
- This article discusses potential challenges and future directions for coma research in the Indian subcontinent.

108
Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

The hydration of cement takes place within the water-filled capillary pores. However, environmental elements can disrupt this process by evaporating water from the concrete surfaces. Sealed concrete with a water-cement ratio below 0.5 experiences self-desiccation, leading to water loss. The water loss in concrete is mitigated by curing. This technique involves keeping the concrete saturated to maintain the necessary temperature and moisture conditions, to optimally fill the spaces in the cement...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...
