Brain Basics: Understand Stroke. Know the Signs. Act in Time. |
|
Nearly 2,500 years ago the father of medicine, Hippocrates, recognized and described a stroke--the sudden onset of paralysis. Until recently, modern medicine had very little control over this particular ailment, but the world of stroke medicine is rapidly changing and new and more advanced therapies are being developed every day. Today, some people who suffer a stroke, can literally walk away from the attack with no or very few disabilities--if they are treated promptly. Doctors are beginning to offer stroke patients and their families the one thing that, until now, has been so difficult to give--HOPE. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or... |

Diary of a Stroke: a Warning |

thursday i am home after three days and two nights in the hospital. my right arm is working at about 15 percent capacity after my suffering a stroke monday night. that explains the absence of capital letters. remember the lives and times of archy and mehitabel by don marquis? you will understand why i identify with the cockroach archy, who typed on marquis’s newsroom typewriter at night by hopping from key to key but of course was unable to operate the shift key. thus no words were capitalized in archy’s writings. i am typing with my left hand only and thus have archy’s restriction to lower-case letters.. Since I’m working on a computer and not a typewriter, apostrophes are available... |

Phenylpropanolamine (PPH) Lawyer: Decongestant Causes Stroke |
|
Phenylpropanolamine, or PPH, used to be an active ingredient in many over the counter nasal decongestants and weight control drug products. The FDA pulled phenylpropanolamine off the market in May of 2000 when a Yale University School of Medicine study found that patients using PPH were at a higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding of the brain. By then it had been in popular use for many years, but because strokes are such serious and unpredictable afflictions and safer alternative drugs readily available, the FDA alerted customers to the danger and issued a recall on phenylpropanolamine. The Yale University study found that women were at a higher risk of hemorrhaging and stroke... |

Stroke, Sleep Apnea and Obesity Related Complications
Author:
Ramani Iyer
What is a stroke? It is a 'brain attack' involving potentially dangerous and life threatening damages to brain, caused by interruption to its blood supply. Most strokes are caused by cerebral thrombosis (blood clot in brain artery, which is produced by adipose,(fat tissue) making it easier for blood clots to form. Obesity and stroke: Atherosclerosis,or narrowing of arteries, which leads to the formation of arterial blood clot, which is the precondition for a stroke. It is increased by blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol and lack of exercise. Obesity is frequently associated with high fat diet, raised blood pressure and lack of exercise. Therefore, obesity is considered as an important risk factor for strokes. Effect of obesity on strokes: High BMI is reported to increase the risk of stroke, other than factors including age and systolic blood pressure. Obesity in a middle aged man can have significant impact on stroke risk later in his life. Complications of obesity: Obesity is complicated further by gall stones. 25 to 30% of obese individuals have gallstones, often resulting in surgery. The increase in cholesterol that results in obesity is one of the major reasons for the increased incidence of gall stones. Obesity causes SLEEP APNEA, which results in progressive breathing problems. These people, affected by this condition, snore severely and have, on occasions,stop breathing completely, even up-to 1 minute, at a stretch! This can lead to a heart-attack. Sleep apnea is a serious medical complication arising out of obesity. Some obesity related diseases:
1. Type 2 Diabetes
2. High blood pressure
3. Stroke
4. Heart attack (Myocardial infarction)
5. Heart attack
6. Heart Failure
7. Cancer
8. Gallstones
9. Gout and gouty arthritis
10.Osteo arthritis
11.Sleep Apnea
12.Pickwickian syndrome It is a fact that obesity brings down the life span of an individual and results in premature death. Obvious remedy is to reduce overweight and obesity condition by avoiding over-eating, consumption of alcohol, fried food and fast food, and effectively replace them with nutrition food / substitutes as meal replacements and meal substitutes, which provide the system with enough nutrition and energy while cutting on calories . Exercise helps a lot in bringing down the obese conditions. There are equipments available for indoor exercises. Fast Walking is a very helpful exercise.

Ischemic And Hemorrhagic Stroke |
|
Hopefully you never had to endure a situation of someone close to you to suffer from transient ischemic attach (TIA), also known as mini stoke, or from a stroke. In any case, you should be familiar with both kinds of stroke as they both destroy brain tissue and can produce similar long-term effects. But there are important differences in what causes them and in the symptoms that tell you which kind of stroke is happening. Ischemic Stroke: According to statistics, 80 percent of strokes belong to the ischemic stroke kind. These mini-strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked by plaque-clogged arteries or by blood clots. This means that blood is not circulating properly inside the brain causing brain cells to die if even for a few minutes no oxygen is transmitted to them via the blood. - Symptoms: Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body; difficulty speaking or understanding speech; trouble seeing in one or both eyes; dizziness and a sudden loss of balance; falling in and out of consciousness; chest pain and shortness of breath. These last three symptoms are less-brain-centered and are more commonly experienced by women. Hemorrhagic Stroke: These brain hemorrhages happen when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the surrounding tissue. There are various causes of these bursts. The most frequent is the rupture of an aneurysm, a weak spot on the wall of an artery that happens to be in your brain-aneurysms can occur elsewhere in the body, too. Experts point out that women are twice as likely as men to have an aneurysm in the brain and are more likely to have multiple aneurysms than men. Two other causes for bleeding in the brain are: hypertension, which can create enough pressure to break an artery wall, and... |
