Stroke is a disease caused by disorder of the blood flow to part of the brain because of occlusion(ischemic) of a blood or damage of a blood vessel‚ causing hemorrhage. For early detection of acute stroke‚ it’s better to use CT scan because it has a lot of advantages. The use of computed tomography (CT) for stroke evaluation has riced‚ moreover ‚ CT is quick than MRI. Recently there are CT techniques like perfusion CT and CT angiography that combined with non-enhanced CT that help the physicians

Hemorrhagic Stroke A Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures. Brain hemorrhages can result from many conditions that affect your blood vessels‚ including uncontrolled high blood pressure ‚hypertension‚ and weak spots in your blood vessel walls ‚aneurysms. A less common cause of hemorrhage is the rupture of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) — an abnormal tangle of thin-walled blood vessels‚ present at birth. The types of hemorrhagic stroke include: Intracerebral

Most diagnoses are for back pain‚ arthritis and widespread joint pain (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS 2008). Between 5 and 10 per cent of people have chronic pain with no formal diagnosis (Nursing Standards 2010). This does not mean that their pain is imaginary.

Physical Therapy Of A Stroke Patient Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability. A stroke occurs when the blood supply and part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced. Which deprive brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Eventually‚ brain cells begin to die. Prompt treatment is very crucial. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. However‚ a stroke may be caused by a blocked artery or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel. Some people may experience

speech difficulty. The emergency room physician‚ who also specialized in neurology‚ immediately suspected that the patient suffered from a stroke. Stroke occurs when the blood flow to a certain part of the brain is blocked‚ which causes the blood vessels to burst or leak within the brain. This leak of blood in the brain causes nerve cells to die (“What is Stroke?” 1). To confirm his doubts and diagnoses‚ the physician ordered the background information and medical history of the patient. According

The NSS (2008) highlights quality markers recommending early supported discharges (ESD) for stroke patients‚ this is supported by Walker (2007) who confirms rehabilitation of stroke patients has become a national priority‚ driven by evidence based research. Economic drivers in ESD highlight financial incentives for reducing hospital stay of stroke patients which according to the DH (2007b) is based on tariff periods whereby low tariff periods result in higher turnover

There has been great controversy over whether anything works to reduce recidivism and great hope that rehabilitation would offer a reduction in those rates. In this paper I will introduce information and views on the reality of whether rehabilitation does indeed reduce recidivism. Proposed is a quasi-experiment‚ using a group of offenders that received rehabilitation services and an ex post facto
