Lazarus syndrome (the Lazarus heart), also known as autoresuscitation after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, [1] is the spontaneous return of a normal cardiac rhythm after failed attempts at resuscitation. It is also used to refer to the spontaneous return of cardiac activity after the patient has been pronounced dead. [2]
Registered nurse Susan Kane drew blood from Ramirez's arm and noticed an ammonia-like smell coming from the tube. [ 4 ] [ 2 ] [ self-published source ] [ 3 ] Kane passed the tube to Julie Gorchynski, a medical resident , who noticed manila-colored (yellow-brown) crystalized particles floating in the blood.
Cotard's syndrome, also known as Cotard's delusion or walking corpse syndrome, is a rare mental disorder in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that they are dead, do not exist, are putrefying, or have lost their blood or internal organs. [1]

Blood circulation can be stopped in the entire body below the heart for at least 30 minutes, with injury to the spinal cord being a limiting factor. [4] Detached limbs may be successfully reattached after 6 hours of no blood circulation at warm temperatures.
Phantosmia (phantom smell), also called an olfactory hallucination or a phantom odor, [1] is smelling an odor that is not actually there. This hallucination is intrinsically suspicious as the formal evaluation and detection of relatively low levels of odour particles is itself a very tricky task in air epistemology.
ORS patients are unable to provide such confidants as they have no objective odor. [6] [15] Various organic diseases may cause parosmias (distortion of the sense of smell). Also, since smell and taste are intimately linked senses, disorders of gustation (e.g. dysgeusia—taste dysfunction) can present as a complaint related to smell, and vice ...
