Diseases of the nervous system (neurology)

This category covers diseases of the nervous system neurology with symptoms, causes, diagnostics, treatment options, and prevention basics.

Beer after a stroke: Is it safe to drink? What are the risks to blood pressure, heart health, medications, and recurrent strokes?

After a stroke, beer should not be viewed as a regular product, but as a source of ethyl alcohol, which can affect blood pressure, heart rate, risk of falls, sleep, mood, recovery, medications, and the likelihood of a recurrent vascular event.

Top 30 Stroke Questions: Symptoms, First Aid, Treatment, Recovery, and Prevention

Stroke is not a single disease, but a group of acute vascular conditions in which the brain is damaged due to a vascular occlusion or hemorrhage. Therefore, the first important question is always not "what pill to give," but "how to quickly get the person to a place where they can differentiate ischemic stroke from hemorrhage and begin the correct treatment."

Bathing after a stroke: when it's possible, who shouldn't, and the risks of blood pressure, blood clots, heat, and cold exposure.

A sauna after a stroke is not just relaxation, but a thermal load on blood vessels, the heart, blood pressure, the thermoregulatory system, and water balance.

Stroke in the cerebral artery basin: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis

A stroke in the cerebral artery basin is an acute injury to the area of the brain supplied by a specific cerebral artery.

Prehospital Stroke Care: Recognition, First Aid, Emergency Care, and Routing to a Stroke Center

The prehospital phase of stroke care is everything that happens before the patient arrives at the hospital: bystander recognition of symptoms, the ambulance call, the dispatcher's work, the initial assessment by the team, stabilization of the patient's condition, determining the time of symptom onset, selecting the appropriate stroke center, and pre-notification of the hospital.

Stroke window: how much time is available for treatment and why you shouldn't wait

The "stroke window" is not a single fixed time for all patients, but a period when treatment can still save part of the brain and reduce disability.

Post-Stroke Numbness: Causes, Diagnosis, Restoring Sensation, and Pain Treatment

Numbness after a stroke is a manifestation of sensory impairment in which a person experiences decreased sensation of touch, temperature, pain, vibration, position of the fingers, hand, foot, or entire limb.

Pathogenesis of stroke: mechanisms of ischemic and hemorrhagic brain damage

Stroke is an acute vascular injury to the central nervous system in which cells in the brain, spinal cord, or retina die due to a disruption in blood supply or hemorrhage.

Atherosclerotic stroke: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of recurrent stroke

Atherosclerotic stroke is a variant of ischemic stroke in which an area of the brain is damaged due to a sudden reduction or cessation of blood flow associated with atherosclerotic lesions in a large artery.

Thrombolysis for stroke: when it's performed, who it's suitable for, risks, medications, and treatment time

Thrombolysis for stroke is the intravenous administration of a drug that helps dissolve a clot and restore blood flow in a blocked cerebral artery. This method is used for ischemic stroke, meaning strokes caused by a blocked blood vessel rather than a cerebral hemorrhage.
