Introduction: Sepsis is a critical and life-threatening condition that arises from severe infections and can lead to multiple organ failure. Prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to improve patient prognosis. This report presents a case of severe sepsis following a miscarriage in a pregnant woman, accompanied by immediate medical intervention and a near-death experience
Introduction: Near-death experiences (NDEs) have been widely reported across cultures, yet their underlying causes remain debated. This study design focuses on prevalence, phenomenology and psychological impact of NDEs in patients undergoing planned circulatory arrest during cardiac surgery. The study also assesses the neuropsychiatric and cognitive consequences of such procedures using a...
This case study delves into the experiences of Mrs. M, a 42-year-old woman, as she navigates Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) and recounts Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). Her narratives reveal recollections of past lives spanning diverse cultures from Argentina to Tibet and her ability to communicate in multiple languages during these regressions. Her NDEs consistently involved encounters...
Patients who have had near-death experiences are often profoundly changed by the event, and they and their families can find these phenomena bewildering or even distubing. Despite this, awareness of near-death experiences appears to be minimal among health care providers in India. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 individuals who attend patients at the Amrita Institute of Medical...
Article discussing a review of 10 specific cases in which persons who had a near-death experience later experienced new or more extensive past-life memories or visions.
Article discussing accounts of near-death experiences that specifically reference a feeling of "returning home" and considering the hypothesis that these experiences could support the idea of reincarnation.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and near-death experiences (NDEs) represent profound disruptions in brain function, often associated with dramatic changes in consciousness, self-perception, and behavior. While these events are typically studied for their pathological consequences, a growing body of evidence suggests they may also trigger unexpected cognitive and creative enhancements in a subset...
While accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) are found around the world and throughout history, descriptions of the phenomenon vary widely. Whether arguing for or against the survival hypothesis, most scholarly and scientific discussions of NDEs are predicated on seeing them as either a universal human phenomenon or as an entirely culturally-constructed one. This article will discuss the...
In this narrative review, we will critically assess whether the occurrence of near-death experience (NDE) associated with cardiac arrest (CA) may be explained by brain electrical activity or whether this empirical evidence supports an alternative theory, namely, that consciousness may persist and function beyond the brain. Empirical evidence suggests that NDEs associated with CA likely arise...
Classical near-death experiences (NDEs) refer to states of disconnected consciousness characterised by a range of features occurring in the context of being close to death. Various psychedelic substances, such as N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), consistently replicate NDE features and may be considered 'near-death-like experiences.' However, a systematic qualitative analysis comparing the...
