Re-evaluating Brain Death: The Potential for Treatment and Recovery after Brain Injury (P4.285)
Conclusions: Treatment-induced reversal of BD was evidenced by functional recovery across several domains. ACP neuromodulation optimizes cerebral functioning: electrical stimulation increases metabolic coupling; nutraceuticals promote healing, repair and neurotransmitter production while attenuating inflammatory cascades and free-radical damage. BD may not be definitively irreversible and deserves therapeutic consideration.Disclosure: Dr. Defina has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zakrzewski has nothing to disclose.

Assessment of Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients with Neurological Disorders (P03.271)
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study may have been biased by the type of the study population (hospital-based) and the small size of the sample. However, the frequent association between Vitamin D deficiency and neurologic disorders indicates that this vitamin may have a fundamental role in physiologic and pathological processes of the Nervous System, particularly in patients over 65 years of age. Vitamin D deficiency should be investigated routinely in clinical practice as the detection of this parameter may have important therapeutic implications.Disclosure: Dr. Triggiani has nothing to disclose.
