1.1. Stroke: Stroke is a common, serious and global health care problem; it’s the third most common cause of health and first cause of adult disability (12). The rehabilitation is the major part of his care (13). Stroke is a neurological deficit caused by an acute focal injury f the central nervous system (CNS) by a vascular cause: a cerebral infraction appears with overt symptoms or intracerebral hemorrhage with no symptoms (10%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (5%) (14). The most impairment that
Introduction A Stroke also called brain attack, occurs when a clot block the blood supply going to the brain or there is a hemorrhage in it. Nerves in the brain requires a continuous supply of blood, oxygen and glucose to function properly. If there is impairment of this supply then the brain may stop functioning temporarily and if this impairment is severe enough then permanent brain damage could occur. As the brain control the body, so the patient could experience symptoms depending upon which
Introduction 1.1. Introduction Stroke is a leading neurological disorder and causes long-term disability worldwide. The World Health Organization estimated that 15 million individuals1 are suffering from stroke annually worldwide, most of them are from developed countries and Stroke is the third leading cause of death and primary cause of disability. Despite advanced medical treatment intervened still 58% of patients still die or end up with severe disabilities. Following stroke the disability is sever
million deaths in 2013 and 14.8% of deaths worldwide (Maracy & Isfahani et al, 2015). In fact, IHD causes the most number of deaths in both men and women in 2013 (Shepard, VanderZan-den, Moran, Naghavi, Murray, & Roth, 2015). Therefore, because IHD can lead to other com-plications, it can further result in greater cost to the economy. Clearly, there is an increasing need to eliminate the incidence of IHDs in the economy and reduce its impact by setting key priorities in place that targets primary
The results of this study showed a marginal reduction in lipid profile after the ten weeks of combined exercise training. The findings of this study confirmed studies that exercise improve reduction in lipid profile even in stroke survivors (Dae-Young et al, 2014 and Kannan et al., (2014). From the study of Dae-Young et al, (2014), who investigated the effects of twelve weeks’ regular exercise on the improvement of free Fatty acid levels and metabolic risk factors of stroke patients reported a significant
will be looking into a case study based on Bill the Stroke patient. Bill is a retired shipbuilder age 68. Bill was found collapsed and unconscious in his garden by his wife Sandra.Bill has left side weakness and is not able to respond to any stimuli with his left hand. I will explain the details of what is a stroke. How a stroke is caused and the impact of a stroke. The effects of a stroke has on the systems and functions of the body. I will then discuss the effects that a stroke causes to psychological

timing and predictors of ischemic stroke after trauma in a population-based young cohort. Methods: We electronically identified trauma patients ( 30 days apart could be considered independent. As a secondary analysis, we calculated stroke incidence including all cases with a stroke ICD-9 code in order to provide a useful comparison with studies using ICD-9 stroke diagnoses for the outcome. For trauma patients who suffered a stroke, we graphically demonstrated time to stroke after trauma using Kaplan-Meier
Strokes in young people Introduction Strokes in young adults are relatively uncommon usually occuring in the middle-aged and elderly. The National Survey of Stroke revealed that only 3.7% of all strokes occurred in patients aged 15-45 years (Bevan et al., 1990, 382). In 1990, Bevan et al. (1990) reviewed the medical records of 113 young patients aged 15-45 years who were admitted to the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont with a diagnosis of stroke between 1982 and 1987. This group comprised
