  Near-death experience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In another account, from a proactive Dutch NDE study [1], a nurse removed the dentures of an unconscious heart attack victim, and was asked by him after his recovery to return them (van Lommel et.al, 2001).
Core NDE experiencers, in particular, tend to be convinced of the reality of the experience as an intimation of the afterlife.
The similarities amongst the experiences of the many documented cases of NDE may be understood to signify that the pathology of the brain during the dying and reviving process is more or less the same in all humans, as suggested by Russian specialist Dr. Vladimir Negovsky (Pravda, 2004).

NDE (NEXUS Data Editor) is a program to create and edit NEXUS format data files on computers running Microsoft Windows 95/NT 4.0.
The main motivation behind my writing the program was to provide an easy to use data editor similar to that provided in the Macintosh program MacClade (note that NDE has none of the data or tree analysis features of MacClade).
In addition to a spreadsheet data editor, NDE makes it easy to fully annotate the data with both text and pictures, and to have lengthy descriptive character and character state names.

 near-death experiences (NDEs)
Such reasoning is on par with supposing that dreams in which one appears to oneself to be outside of one’s bed are to be taken as evidence of the soul or mind actually leaving the body during sleep, as some New Age Gnostics believe.
If the cause of the NDE were purely physiological, the researchers reasoned that all of the patients should have had one because of their similar plight.
It is possible that others had an NDE but don't remember it due to either different abilities in short term memory or to the timing of their experience vis-à-vis when they regain consciousness.

 The Lancet: Near-death experience in survivors of cardiac arrest
NDE are reported in many circumstances: cardiac arrest in myocardial infarction (clinical death), shock in postpartum loss of blood or in perioperative complications, septic or anaphylactic shock, electrocution, coma resulting from traumatic brain damage, intracerebral haemorrhage or cerebral infarction, attempted suicide, near-drowning or asphyxia, and apnoea.
Of the patients without an NDE at 2-year follow-up, 20 had died and four patients could not be interviewed (for reasons such as dementia and long stay in hospital), which left 15 patients without an NDE to take part in the third interview.
Thus, induced experiences are not identical to NDE, and so, besides age, an unknown mechanism causes NDE by stimulation of neurophysiological and neurohumoral processes at a subcellular level in the brain in only a few cases during a critical situation such as clinical death.

 Near-Death Experience - Crystalinks
According to this perspective the etiology of the NDE is understood as a result of neurobiological mechanisms, related to such factors as epilepsy and brain stimulation.
However, this model fails to explain NDEs that result from close brushes to death where the brain does not actually suffer trauma, such as a near-miss automobile accident.A well-known scientific hypothesis that attempts to explain NDEs was originally suggested by Dr. Karl Jansen (1995;1997) and deals with accounts of the side-effects of the drug Ketamine.
NDE subjects often report long-term after-effects, and changes in worldview, such as an increased interest in spirituality, an increased interest in the meaning of life, increased empathic understanding and a decrease in fear of death (van Lommel et.al, 2001).

 Christian near-death experiences and reincarnation
NDEs such as these dramatically change the lives of those who have them and can even change the lives of those who read about them.
The spiritual treasure found within these NDE testimonies have the power to transform faith (which by definition implies the possibility of doubt) into sure knowledge (which by definition implies absolute certainty) because of the light they shed on particular problematic Christian doctrines.
Along with the NDE testimonies, I provide supporting information from the Bible, early Christian and Jewish writings, and historical information for people who seek answers to critical questions concerning particular controversial orthodox Christian doctrines which have been problematic for many people throughout history.

 Medical Support for NDE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The physiologic explanation: the NDE is experienced as a result of anoxia in the brain, possibly also caused by release of endomorphines, or NMDA receptor blockade.
The psychological explanation: NDE is caused by fear of death.
So we have to conclude that NDE in our study was experienced during a transient functional loss of all functions of the cortex and of the brainstem.

 NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION INTRODUCTION
Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) is an interdisciplinary field of study which is concerned with the development of analysis techniques and measurement technologies for the quantitative characterization of materials, tissues and structures by noninvasive means.
Laboratory facilities are available for NDE research on campus at William and Mary, as well as at nearby Jefferson Lab and NASA Langley.
Facilities at NASA Langley, including the NDE Research Laboratory, the Polymers and Composites Laboratory, and the Materials Research Laboratory, are used in student and faculty research on such critically important issues as monitoring corrosion and other structural deterioration in the aging commercial airline fleet, and characterizing new advanced composite materials for future aircraft and spacecraft.

 Dead reckoning | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Two-thirds of those (41 patients) had a "core," or extremely vivid, NDE while the other 21 were determined to have had a superficial NDE, he said.
NDEs can be explained by neurochemistry and are the result of brain states that occur due to a dying, demented or drugged brain, notes Robert Todd Carroll in "The Skeptics Dictionary."
Carroll cites British researcher Susan Blackmore's conclusion that the feelings of extreme peacefulness – almost universal among NDE reports – are the result of endorphins released due to the extreme stress of the situation.

 Lycaeum > Leda > Using Ketamine to Induce the Near-Death Experience
Some critics of neurobiological models have dismissed them because a feature of the NDE which they believe to be important may not have been fully accounted for by the model being proposed, although it may well be that the statistically determined key features of the NDE (a consensus view) would not include those features.
Unfortunately, the study in which persons who have had NDE's are given ketamine and asked to compare the two experiences has yet to be carried out, although the psychological effects of ketamine have been well documented in numerous clinical studies by anaesthetists (see Domino, 1992).
The NDE's and ketamine experiences were clearly the same type of altered state of consciousness.

 New Covenant Church of God: Blinded by the Light, NDE Experiences   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
My thesis is that the NDE messages are not compatible with biblical Christianity, and that they cannot be accepted by biblically-committed Christians without damage to the integrity of their faith.
The NDE and its messages are at odds with biblical Christianity, and are radically affecting the way our society and the Christian Church view humankind, God, the afterlife, and the Scriptures.
My primary purpose in studying the NDE and writing my dissertation on the subject is to bring it to the attention of the Church and to study the implications of its messages.

 Near-Death Experience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Most web sites about the NDE want to "promote" it in some sense and tell only about the most exotic or interesting experiences.
The unfiltered collection of experiences here are from around 1997, about 20 years after the topic first started gaining interest in the U.S. The experiences seem highly varied, despite the common elements.
Please keep in mind that even these experiences are filtered in the sense that those who do not think the experience carried any significance are not likely to report it.

 Distressing Near-Death Experiences
Thus, in the pleasurable NDE, the NDEr experiences what it was to have been on the receiving end of their actions and, typically, experiences profound regret and/or guilt, but within a larger context of being unconditionally loved.
Someone who had a lifelong pattern of using emotional isolation to avoid being rejected by others, may have a distressing NDE of the eternal void, in which he realized that profound, endless isolation is not what he really wants.
Another distressing NDEr may report that in her NDE, she engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a demonic being; for the first time in her life, she genuinely called out to God for help; and for the first time she experienced the genuine presence of, and communion with, God.

Since the NDE cannot be studied effectively in the laboratory, no incontrovertible proof for the reality of the NDE is unavailable.
Students of the NDE are forced to rely on anecdotal evidence with all the attendant problems.
