STROKE A stroke—also called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack—is an injury to the blood vessels of the brain that causes neurological malfunctioning. In the United States‚ as many as 87% of all strokes are caused by the sudden blockage of a cerebral artery. The resulting decrease in blood flow leads to ischemic damage in the region of the brain that is fed by the artery. These CVAs are called ischemic strokes. Most ischemic strokes are due to blood clots. The remaining 13%

Ovarian cancer can develop from the epithelial cells surrounding the ovary‚ the germ cells‚ or stromal cells within it. Epithelial ovarian carcinomas account for 85-90% of ovarian cancers‚ and will be the focus of this essay. Most symptoms of epithelial ovarian cancer are due to the fact that it often spreads to the lining of and organs in the abdominal cavity. These symptoms include bloating‚ pelvic or abdominal pain‚ urinary urgency or frequency‚ and trouble eating associated with feeling of fullness

A combination of garlic and telmisartan protects against unilateral ischemia/reperfusion-induced kidney injury in obese rats Obese patients encounter higher frequency and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) than lean ones. Telmisartan is used experimentally in ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced AKI. However‚ there is a lack of evidence regarding its beneficial effects on AKI in obese animals. The present study‚ therefore‚ aimed to explore the protective effect of garlic and telmisartan against renal

CHF Congestive Heart Failure By: Navreet Kaur Malhi Institute Of Technology Congestive Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure‚ is also known as heart failure cardiac decompensation‚ cardiac insufficiency‚ and cardiac incompetence‚ all having the same meaning; that the heart is failing. The heart has lost its pumping efficiency‚ therefore the heart is decompensating. No matter which type of heart disease a person has all heart disease require a lifelong need of management.

Side effects such as renal impairment and hypotension can arise‚ as well as a dry cough (NICE‚ 2014). If the patient is being affected by this‚ angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) can be prescribed instead. ARBs‚ such as candesartan and losartan‚ have a similar action to ACE inhibitors‚ but they do not usually cause the persistent cough (NHS‚ 2016). They may also cause hypotension and hyperkalaemia
