Stroke Disease Report

This paper discusses the history of stokes and how strokes occurred in my family. I have research many articles and websites to find interesting information on strokes. I have also included my own opinions and thoughts about strokes. There are many factors that can create a higher risk of having a stroke. The paper discusses ways to prevent a person from having a stroke, and risk factors that can increase the risk of having a stroke.

The history of stroke began with Hippocrates, the father of medicine, who was the first one to recognized stroke more than 2,400 years ago. Back then they used to refer as apoplexy a Greek terms, which means “struck down by violent” because at that time they did not have an explanation for it .Century later, in mid-1600’s Jacob Wepfer discovered that something disrupted the blood supply in the brain of people who died from apoplexy. In some cases, the vvartery were blocked. In others, there had been massive bleeding into the brain tissue. After that there was no more progression in the history until 1928. Medical science continues to make advances concerning the causes, symptoms. There is a large amount of information available jon causes, prevention methods, risks and treatment of stroke.

Strokes are also known as stroke. Are treated clinical pictures generated by the interruption or so sudden, the blood flow in a brain region. This leads to ischemia and loss of function that is responsible for that area of ​​the brain.

First I feel that, it is important to understand the clinical manifestation of the different strokes. The Ischemic stroke can cause a wide range of neurologic symptoms depending on the location and the size of the effective area. Patients may present with symptoms, such as, numbness or weakness of the face, arms, legs, more so, one side of the body, changes in moody or behavior, trouble with speaking or understanding speech, visual disturbances, having difficulty in walking, dizziness or loss of balance and sudden server headaches. Hemorrhagic stroke has, also, presents with the same clinical manifestation as a Ischemic stroke, however, most patients complain of server headache.

Through this article, you can get more information about the stroke symptom. It is very useful because you can deal with the situations for yourself and people

According to American Stroke Association (ASA), stroke is a disease that affects the arteries that lead to the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. As a result, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs which causes brain cells to die (American Stroke Association, n.d.). Depending on where the stroke occurs in the brain, the level/type of impairment differs with the individual. For example, if a stroke occurs in the back of the brain, it is likely that some disability involving vision will result. Overall, the effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction and the extent of brain tissue affected (American Stroke Association, n.d.).

Cerebrovascular Accident or stroke is considered a cardiovascular disease. It is a blockage from either thrombosis or and embolism or hemorrhage in the vessels of the brain. They are mostly caused by an embolus -a small particle of a clot that has broken off and traveled up the carotid artery and lodges in a vessel in the brain. When this happens, oxygen is cut off to that part of the brain causing death of the surrounding tissue. (loffelur & Hart, 2015)

Stroke is a part of a cardiovascular disease that occurs when the supply of blood or oxygen to the brain is disrupted by a blockage in the artery or when there is usually a trauma that causes spontaneous bleeding in the brain (Duncan, Zorowitz & Lambert, 2005).

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term adult disability, affecting approximately 795,000 people each year in the U.S. The very word "stroke" indicates that no one is ever prepared for this sudden, often catastrophic event. Stroke survivors and their families can find workable solutions to most difficultsituations by approaching every problem with patience, ingenuity, perseverance and creativity. Early recovery and rehabilitation can improve functions and sometimes remarkable recoveries for someone who suffered a stroke.Rehabilitation starts in the hospital as soon as possible following a stroke. In patients who are stable, rehabilitation may begin within two days after the stroke has occurred, and should be continued as necessary

Stroke is cerebral injury caused by acute cerebral circulatory disorder, is a kind of serious hazard to human health and life safety of common refractory disease, which is difficult to reverse once got. There are obvious three tenors (high incidence, high morbidity, high mortality) of it. According to statistics, my country's annual 2 million stroke patients, the incidence rate is as high as 120/10, of which 4.5 million patients with different degree of disability, and the life cannot provide for oneself, the morbidity of up to 75%, 1.2 million stroke patients die each year. Has had a stroke patients, but also easy to relapse again, every recurrence, caused Tremendous risk to human health and life, with great pain to the patient and created a heavy burden to family and society.

“Stroke is leading cause of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability. In the USA, 795 000 stroke occur every year.” (name ) The proportion rises most strongly with age, therefore with the

“A stroke, sometimes called a “brain attack,” is an injury to the brain due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels.” (Patient&Family Education Handbook UCLA Stroke Center Page 8) Stroke most often occurs when blood flow to the brain has stopped due to a clot, but it can also be caused by bleeding in the brain. The brain cells in the area begin to die due to lack of oxygen and the nutrients they need to work correctly. Hippocrates the “father of medicine” was the first to identity stroke more than 2,400 years ago. He called it apoplexy which is Greek for “struck down by violence”. In the 1600s a doctor named Jacob Wepfer discovered that people who died from apoplexy had something that was disrupted in the brains blood supply. There were massive bleeding in the brain or arteries were blocked in some of the cases Jacob Wepfer seen. Apoplexy became know terms as stroke and cerebral vascular

Introduction: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States (US) and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. Incidence of ischemic stroke is higher than hemorrhagic stroke.

A stroke is the first physiological disorder I will be writing about. A stroke is a circulatory disorder which affects the brain. A stroke is a ‘brain attack’ which occurs when the blood supply is cut off from part of the brain. When you have a stroke in the left side of your brain, the right side of your body is affected, when you have a stroke in the right side of

Cerebrovascular accident, also known as a stroke, is one of the top causes of death and disability amongst older adults. When any portion of the brain is denied blood flow, this causes a stroke. The severity varies, depending on the area and amount of blood denied. Some risk factors of a stroke include the following; Hypertension, age, previous lifestyle, diet, exercise patterns, your social status, and access to healthcare. Hypertension is the main risk factor because hypertension increases pressure, restricting blood flow. Symptoms of a stroke vary for each individual depending on what the stroke is caused by. Symptoms include sudden numbness/tingling/weakness
