are many risk factors associated with stroke. The more risk factors a person has‚ the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke. Some of these you have no control of‚ such as increasing age‚ family health history‚ race and gender. But you can change or treat most other risk factors to lower your risk. The chance of having a stroke more than doubles every decade after the age of 55. The chance is greater in people who have a family history of stroke. African Americans have a much higher

Six-stroke engine The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine‚ but with additional complexity intended to make it more efficient and reduce emissions. Two types of six-stroke engine have been developed since the 1990s: In the first approach‚ the engine captures the heat lost from the four-stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and uses it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston in the same cylinder. Designs use either steam

formed‚ which is a six stroke engine. Lot of research works are conducting on this topic nowadays and already six types of six stroke engines were discovered yet. Of these the resent developed three six stroke engines‚ i.e.‚ Beare head‚ Bruce crowers and Velozeta’s are undergoing tremendous research works. During every cycle in a typical four stroke engine‚ piston moves up and down twice in the chamber‚ resulting in four total strokes and one of which is the power stroke that provides the torque

Stroke Awareness Outcome1: Know what stroke is. 1. Identify the changes in the brain associated with stroke. Changes in the brain will be that some parts are not getting the blood supply which then leads to dead tissue causing a form of disability depending on the area of the brain affected. 2. Outline other conditions that may be mistaken for stroke. Postictal state – happens after a seizure. Hypoglycemia – blood sugars drop‚ which can cause body paralysis‚ however a person with this will

Introduction We have heard about two and four stroke engines. Two stroke engines got its name from the fact that the required strokes are completed in one revolution. In short there is one power stroke in one revolution. In the case of four stroke engines the four strokes are completed in two revolutions‚ or there is a power stroke in two revolutions. Then how about a six stroke engine. The name of the engine has nothing to do with the number of revolutions or anything of that sort. This engine

Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Stroke‚ if survived‚ is the largest cause of long-term disabilities in the United States. Nearly 160‚000 Americans have strokes every year‚ killing one of three individuals (reference?). Due to our nation’s ageing population‚ the stroke epidemic is expected to increase nearly 25% by year 2030 (Brewer‚ 2012). These stroke-related disabilities impact the survivor’s quality of life and independence in everyday activities. Nearly 50% to 75% of all stroke survivors have residual

Word Count: 531 The essay “Jamieson and Regan’s Chainsaw” presents a moral dilemma. The authors ask us to imagine that we have borrowed a chainsaw and have promised to return it whenever asked. At the time he asks for it back‚ the friend is drunk and dragging a beaten man with him. So‚ I find myself asking‚ when is it okay to break a promise? Or one step further‚ when is it okay to be dishonest? People break promises all the time. You can’t really live a life and not break promises

Summary Heat stroke is defined by Knochel and Ouchama (2002‚ p. 1978) as “a core body temperature that rises above 40°C (105°F) and that is accompanied by hot‚ dry skin and central nervous system abnormalities such as delirium‚ convulsions‚ or coma.” Heat stroke can be the result of either exposure to a high environmental temperature or from an elevated core temperature due to strenuous exercise. However‚ due to the presentation of an ‘unconscious unknown’ the diagnosis of heat stroke can be a difficult

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%
