    Stroke

    • 950 Words
    • 4 Pages

    A stroke occurs when an artery bursts or becomes closed when a blood clot lodges in it and blood flow is interrupted to that part of the brain. Blood circulating to that area of the brain served by the artery stops at the point of rupture, and the brain tissue in that area dies or is damaged. The effects of a stroke are determined by which portion of the brain is affected and how much damage occurs. A stroke can cause memory loss, speech impairment, reasoning ability, loss of vision, paralysis, coma, and death, depending on what region of the brain is affected. Strokes are considered to be medical emergencies that require immediate treatment.…

    An acute subdural hematoma is usually caused by a head injury, such as from a fall, motor vehicle collision, or an assault. The sudden blow to the head tears blood vessels that run along the surface of the brain. The blood collects between the protective layers of tissue that surround the brain. Those layers include the dura, which is the outermost and strongest layer, the arachnoid, the delicate middle layer and the pia, which is the innermost layer that contours the brain. In a subdural hematoma, bleeding occurs between the dura and the arachnoid. The bleeding is located under the skull but outside of the brain, not in the brain itself. As blood accumulates pressure on the brain increases. The pressure on the brain is what causes symptoms. If pressure inside the skull rises to very high level it can lead to loss of consciousness, or even death.…

    In this mouse model (Fig 1 A-C), brief periods of gasping and shallow respirations, a decrease in breathing rate or transient termination of breathing before resuming a normal respiration define as loss of consciousness (unconscious). Our results indicated that an impact caused a short-term unconsciounsness (7.5±4.7, 7.8±5.5, 10.2±8.8, 9.5±8.0 sec at each impact separately) (Fig 1D). During the impactions, no mouse showed skull fractures, subarachnoid, epidural or subdural hemorrhage. H&E staining of the brain sections were histologically normal and showed no remarkable tissue disorganization, or subdural or interstitial hemorrhage in the cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum and brain stem (Fig 2A). Astrocytic activation and proliferation is thought…
