Diseases of the nervous system (neurology)

Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a type of intracranial hemorrhage in which blood spreads in the subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord. There are subarachnoid hemorrhage in traumatic brain injury and in acute violation of cerebral circulation in hemorrhagic type.

Hemorrhagic stroke

Hemorrhagic stroke - any spontaneous (non-traumatic) hemorrhage into the cavity of the skull. However, the term "hemorrhagic stroke" in clinical practice is used, as a rule, to denote an intracerebral hemorrhage caused by the most common cerebrovascular diseases: hypertensive disease, atherosclerosis and amyloid angiopathy.

How to prevent ischemic stroke?

The main goal of the stroke prevention system is to reduce the overall morbidity and reduce the frequency of deaths. Measures aimed at primary prevention of stroke are based on the population social strategy of prevention of cerebrovascular diseases at the state level (mass strategy) and medical prevention (high risk strategy).

Treatment of ischemic stroke

The main tasks of the ongoing treatment of ischemic stroke (medical, surgical, rehabilitation) are restoration of disturbed neurological functions, prevention of complications and their control, secondary prevention of recurrent cerebral circulation disorders.

Diagnosis of ischemic stroke

The basis of instrumental diagnostics in stroke is the methods of neuroimaging, in particular CT and MRI. These methods are used for differential diagnosis between stroke and other forms of intracranial pathology, clarifying the nature of the stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) and controlling the nature of tissue changes in the affected area in the treatment of stroke.

Symptoms of ischemic stroke

Symptoms of ischemic stroke are diverse and depend on the location and volume of the lesion of the brain. The most frequent localization of the focus of the cerebral infarction is carotid (80-85%), less often - vertebrobasilar basin (15-20%).

Causes of Ischemic Stroke

Isolate primary (development in this patient for the first time in life) and secondary (development of a patient who had previously suffered an ischemic stroke) cases of stroke. There is also a fatal and nonfatal ischemic stroke. As a time interval for such assessments, an acute period of a stroke has now been taken - 28 days after the onset of neurologic symptoms (previously 21 days).

Ischemic Stroke: An Overview of Information

Ischemic stroke is a pathological condition that is not a separate and special disease, but an episode that develops as part of a progressive general or local vascular lesion in various diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Death of the brain

At all times there was no more exciting and mysterious problem for mankind than life, death and transitional stages between these interconnected and mutually exclusive concepts. The states bordering on being and non-being cause huge interest and cause states: lethargy, some amazing "como-like" stages of autosuggestion of Indian yogis, etc.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The syndrome of chronic fatigue is a disease characterized by excessive, disabling fatigue, which lasts at least 6 months and is accompanied by numerous articular, infectious and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
