Michael Schumacher may take weeks or months to come out fully from the artificial coma he has been in for five weeks following his skiing accident Shaquem Griffin Womens Jersey , say experts.


There are still no guarantees the seven-times Formula 1 champion will recover his health completely.


As the anaesthetic keeping him under is slowly reduced, doctors treating him will expand the tests on his reflexes.


‘These are to ascertain if the nerves leading to the brain and back to the muscles are functioning,’ said Professor Heinzpeter Moecke, head of the Institute for Emergency Medicine in Hamburg.


Schumacher, who spent his 45th birthday in the medically induced coma at Grenoble Hospital Russell Wilson Womens Jersey , is having his joints and limbs massaged daily to prevent muscles atrophying.


Earlier this week he was said to be ‘responding to instructions’ as doctors gradually bring him out of his coma.


The seven-time Formula 1 world champion is also reported to have blinked during brain tests.


He has undergone a number of neurological exams since Monday and has responded ‘positively’, according to L’Equipe newspaper which cited ‘very reliable sources’.


After gradually reducing the sedation of the patient, the team of head doctor Emmanuel Gay have been testing his neurological reflexes since Monday.


'During the early stages the patient blinked,' the leading sports newspaper reported.


Schumacher suffered serious head injuries when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock in the French resort of Meribel on December 29.


He has been in an induced coma in Grenoble University Hospital since then, although his condition stabilized following surgery after initially being described as critical.


'Michael's sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking up process which may take a long time Authentic Tedric Thompson Jersey ,' Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, said in a statement.


Schumacher was being kept artificially sedated and his body temperature was lowered to between 34 and 35 degrees Celsius (93.2 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit), to reduce swelling in the brain, reduce its energy consumption and allow it to rest.


Kehm said she was only providing an update now on Schumacher's condition to clarify media leaks Authentic Nazair Jones Jersey , and that no further details would be provided.


French newspaper l'Equipe first reported on Wednesday that doctors had started trying to wake up Schumacher.


Experts said it was a good sign that Schumacher's doctors were trying to bring him out of the coma and that the first 24 hours would be critical.


'It means they have probably seen the pressure in his skull reduced,' said Dr. Clemens Pahl, a brain trauma expert at King's College Hospital in London.


Pahl warned that if Schumacher hasn't recovered enough to wake up on his own, doctors might need to put him back in the coma.


'It could be that swelling in his brain hasn't come to an end yet so they might need to increase the medications again,' he said.


Pahl said that wasn't uncommon in patients with brain injuries and that sometimes it took several attempts to bring someone out of an induced coma.


Brain experts said it will be fundamental to determine whether Schumacher was aware of his surroundings and could respond to basic commands from doctors Authentic Delano Hill Jersey , like raising his hand.


'This is a test to see what his function is like,' said Dr. Anthony Strong, an emeritus chair in neurosurgery at King's College London.


He said that once the sedatives wear off, Schumacher's doctors would see if he can breathe on his own and if he responds to mild pain stimulus, like gentle pressing on his eyebrows.


'Doctors will want to see if he can say `hello Authentic Alex McGough Jersey ,' if he probe his recollection of events and to see if he can recognize family members and remember his own identity,' Strong said.


If Schumacher doesn't respond to their voice, they will also look to see if he tries to pull out any of the tubes in him or rip the dressing off his wounds - which would be a sign that he is aware of where he is.


Still, experts said it would likely be months before Schumacher's prognosis becomes clear - and that lasting brain damage was a possibility.


'If he pulls through, he may not be the man he was Authentic Rasheem Green Jersey ,' said Dr. Tipu Aziz, head of neurosurgery at Oxford University.


'Given the length of time he's been in (intensive care), he has clearly had a very severe head injury,' he said.


'It's too early to know how intact he will be, but I would guess there is going to be some kind of lasting damage.'


Schumacher earned universal acclaim for his uncommon and sometimes ruthless driving talent Authentic Frank Clark Jersey , which led to a record 91 race wins.


He retired from Formula One in 2012 after garnering an unmatched seven world titles.


His accident happened on a family vacation in the Alps as Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son.

SHANGHAI’S iPhone users are top targets for fraud and spam calls among all cities nationwide, followed by Shenzhen and Beijing, a report covering iOS system security said yesterday.


Internet crimes have established a “black industry chain” in China, which threatens national security, breaches of personal information and causes losses of more than 100 billion yuan (US$14.5 billion) annually Authentic Jarran Reed Jersey , industry executives said.


A report by Internet giant Tencent said Shanghai ranked number one among all cities, with 581,000 numbers listed as being involved in fraud or spam.


In September, Apple began allowing third-party firms such as Tencent and Qihoo 360 to mark numbers and block calls after a growing number of complaints about security for mobile phones.


Regulators, including the central bank and public security and IT ministries Authentic Germain Ifedi Jersey , will strengthen cooperation with the industry to fight booming telecom and online frauds.


Consumers are encouraged to note suspicious calls, government officials have said at recent industry conferences.
