With ~800‚000 stroke cases every year in the United States‚ stroke is considered the major cause of disability in adults [1]. The ability of the brain to reorganize in response to pathological or environmental changes such as lesions is critically important to the recovery of motor function after stroke [2]. Re-establishment of ipsilesional cortical excitability has been associated with improved functional outcomes of the paretic limb following stroke [3‚4]. Numerous approaches to modulate cortical

FOUR STROKE PETROL ENGINE The four stroke petrol engine works in the following way:- Intake stroke In this stroke‚ fuel and air is allowed inside the cylinder by the downward movement of the piston which involves the opening of intake valve. Compression stroke Piston moves upward again in this stroke and the fuel and air mixture is compressed. Power stroke In this stroke power is generated when the spark plug ignites the fuel and piston moves down‚ this helps the engine to start initially

There are two different types of strokes that a person could have. They are ischemic and hemorrhagic; ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel is blocked from a clot and hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts which results in it bleeding into the brain. If I had a choice about what type of stroke I would want to have I would go with the ischemic stroke. The reason why I would go with the ischemic stroke is because there is a drug called tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)‚ which breaks

to the actin filament forming a cross-bridge. The myosin pulls the actin towards the centre of the sarcomere creating a power stroke. A specific chemical reaction needs to occur in order for the myosin to acquire the sufficient energy to pull the actin filament. A fact from Chemistry gives a greater understanding of the chemical reactions that occur during a power stroke thus giving a greater understanding of the filament interaction from a molecular perspective.

Our Neurologist confirmed this to be a ischemic stroke due to a blood clot on the left side of the brain. When then diagnosed her with Hemiparesis which is weakness to the right side caused by the stroke‚ Hypertension which is high blood pressure‚ and ischemic stroke. We transferred Mrs.Martens to the ICU where she was given a medicine to help break down unwanted blood clots and
