EEG and Familiar Names: Signal and Limits in ICU Prognosis for Comatose Patients
Does EEG response to familiar names meaningfully improve prediction of long-term outcome in comatose ICU patients?

Evidence-Based Clinical AI
AI, biomarkers, and older-adult care. My notes on medical AI, dementia biomarkers, frailty, and older-adult care. This section is supported by my custom AI-assisted literature surveillance workflow that helps me identify recent papers that I then review. Each item is manually curated, edited, and approved before publication. The aim is not to summarize everything. The aim is to notice what may matter clinically, what is fragile, and what still needs to prove itself in real older-adult care.
