     The most common causes of strokes are thrombosis. This is when a clot forms in one of the arteries, mostly in the carotid in the neck and the vertebral artery. The blood is thick and moves very slowly through the artery. The thrombus will form on the damaged area of the artery wall and will cut off the flow of blood to the brain. The area of the artery that is damaged is cause by arteriosclerosis. This form of

The health issue that this artifact discusses is the significance of knowing and recognizing the warning signs of a stroke. The American Heart Association has made it their mission to provide unlimited health information and research in the hopes of eliminating cardiovascular diseases as well as helping society in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “Stroke is the number 5 cause of death and a leading cause of

I would like to ask you for a letter of recommendation for me to put into my application to become a First Sgt. I hope to become a First Sgt because I have a strong desire to work towards something greater than myself, I want to work with and help Airmen become more than they thought they could and to grow as individuals as well as become better citizen Airmen. I have a wide variety of military and civilian experience that I think are beneficial skills to have as a First Sgt.

Over the years there have been many arguments and discussions concerning the uses of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms/Explosives (often known as ATF). ATF is an enforcement agency of law in the U.S.’ Department of Justice, which protects the communities from violent criminals, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and storage of explosives, the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products, etc. The use of ATF has been changed over the years based on bad incidents in the past, people’s opinions, and branches of government. With this being stated, age restrictions are strongly enforced. People under the age of 21 are not allowed to purchase alcohol, children under the age of 19 are not allowed to purchase tobacco, and every person must be authorized to carry a gun in this state. Some rules are slightly different in multiple states because of state governors. Everyone has their own personal opinions on each topic, which can cause a difference in how serious one may be on a certain topic.

Throughout the Revolutionary War, there were many battles that occurred that are not remembered today. The reasons for this are plentiful, examples include minor battles, unimportant skirmishes, or travesties of war. However, some battles are forgotten intentionally, like times whenever something embarrassing happened to a soldier, or to an entire side. This case of embarrassing defeat is exactly what happened at Fort Galphin or, as the British called it, Fort Dreadnought, in Beech Island, SC on May 21st, 1781.

During your visit, explore The Park, The Star Fort, and The Visitor Center! This Fort, was an important part of American history, and you can see it today in it’s original glory. The fort had some very significant events take place such as The War of 1812. After the fort defended against the British bombing ships in that war, the “Star Spangled Banner” was created. Come visit Fort McHenry!

Strokes are the 5th leading cause of death in the US, with one person dying every 4 minutes as a result. For African Americans, stoke is the 3rd leading cause of death.(http://www.cdc.gov/stroke/facts.htm) It is estimated that About 795,000 people have a stroke each year; about one every 40 seconds - there are many medical conditions that can cause a stroke and it is estimated that 8 out of 10 strokes can be prevented. However, there are some things that cannot be controlled when you are predisposed to

There were all sorts of camps spread-out through Washington D.C, none of them in very good shape, looking more like old shanty towns. The safest camps were located around Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, which was actually made up of three joined bases, Fort Myer and Fort McNair (both US Army) and Henderson Hall USMC. There were four camps that surrounded the Joint Base that went from bad to horrendous. They were camps Alpha through Delta, Camp Alpha being the closest to Fort Myer’s main gate and Delta being the closest to the primary gate to Henderson Hall.

This essay covers a fictitious sleeper cell chemical attack in the state of California. A group of 11 sleepers in California regroup for planned attack on the Presidio of Monterey (POM) and Fort Ord. They plan to blow up a truck carrying 15 tons of chlorine and use addition chlorine in pipe and pressure cooker bombs. POM is home to the Defense Language Institute (DLI), comprised of thousands of uniformed service members and civilian employees. Fort Ord is the main housing base for families with no entry control points.

Strokes are caused by pathophysiological changes. The two major mechanisms of stroke consist of ischemia and haemorrhage. Ischemia is when there is no oxygen or not, merely enough oxygen to fuel the tissue level in the body. Haemorrhage in the brain, causing strokes can be due to non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (Shah, MD, n.d.) (see appendix 1). This essay will further discuss the implications of strokes on a cellular, organ and system level. Explain the clinical presentation of the signs and symptoms of strokes and how the condition will be managed by a paramedic.

In the kerfuffle over presidential candidate Ben Carson’s claim that he was admitted to West Point, the news media have pointed out that the “full scholarship” part of his story adds even more confusion because, as the New York Times story today put it, “Technically, West Point does not offer scholarships. It is free.”

Smoking, drinking heavily, blood pressure, heart disease, cholesterol levels, obesity, type two diabetes, and drug usage (like cocaine and amphetamines). Most strokes occur in people aged 65 and up, however, it may also happen to small children and infants. Some things that cause strokes are unchangeable, such as gender (men are generally more affected), age, family history, or ethnicity (South-Asian and African-Caribbean people are more affected).

This stagnant blood forms clots that break off and inter the circulation. Atrial Fibrillation is a factor in about 15% of Embolism stroke.The risk of a stroke from atrial fibrillation can be dramatically reduced with daily use of anticoagulant medication.

In most cases, atrial fibrillation can end up in a larger left atria and pulmonary veins. Subsequently, structural and functional changes happens within the heart in terms of size and shape which is called cardiac remodelling. The initial phase is very important as that is when the the lost stabilities are restored. Thereafter, if the action still goes on, massive changes happens in heart chambers, cardiac function gets worse and eventually cardiac failure emerges. IN addition to all the above, thromboembolism can be simply said as the clot formation in blood vessels which breaks and obstructs another blood vessel. A thrombus can appear either in veins or in arteries. If it is not treated properly by anticoagulants, stroke is the end result. Stroke can be categorized into three: ischaemic, haemorrhagic and TIA or mini stroke. In ischemic stroke, blood circulation to the brain is deteriorated followed by an obstruction in the blood vessel whereas haemorrhagic stroke is a result of bleeding in the brain followed by the breakage of blood vessels. Age and cardio vascular disorders especially hypercoagulable states are the precipitating factors for the former whereas high blood pressure and aneurysms are the factors for latter. Mostly, TIA occur as a result of narrowing of vessels. If it is not treated by anticoagulants at the very beginning, there is a high risk of developing stroke by means of more occlusion in the blood vessel or the rupture. So,
