    Mr. K. was diagnosed as having an acute cerebral vascular accident. This disorder can also be described as a “stroke”. It occurs when there is an interruption of normal blood flow in one or more of the blood vessels that supply the brain. Thrombosis, embolism, and hemorrhage are the primary causes of a CVA. (Sommers and Johnson 2002) The tissues of the brain become ischemic, leading to hypoxia or anoxia with destruction or necrosis of the neurons, glia, and vasculature. Complications of CVA include unstable blood pressure, sensory and motor impairment, infection, pneumonia, contractures, and pulmonary emboli. CVA is the third leading cause of death in the United States and affects more than 500,000 Americans annually. (Sommers and Johnson 2002)…

    This paper reports the findings in the brains of five patients who' survived a closed head injury in a more or less decerebrate and extremely demented state, for five to 15 months. These cases were selected from a series of patients who died after prolonged coma or other severe disturbances of consciousness following head injury. Both clinically and pathologically they form a distinct group. The head injuries were uncomplicated, that is, there were no fractures of the skull, no intracranial haematomata or lacerations of the brain, and in particular there was no evidence of raised intracranial pressure at any time, yet the patients remained quadriparetic and almost totally unresponsive from the time of the accident. Pathologically the main finding,…

    A brain hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding into surrounding tissue, swelling and increased intracranial pressure. Blood may also collect and form a clot, called a hematoma. In an epidural hematoma, the clotting occurs between the inside of the skull and the outer, strong membranous covering of the brain (called the dura mater). Blood that collects beneath the dura mater is called a subdural hematoma. Symptoms of bleeding in the brain, which may gradually worsen or suddenly appear,…

    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…

    Annually, around 800,000 Americans have strokes when a blood blocks the circulation to the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain breaks. When this happens, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and die off. Additionally, memory, muscle control and other abilities controlled by that area of the brain are lost.…

    Which occurs when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures. Brain hemorrhages can result from many conditions that affect your blood vessels. For example is having a hypertension. There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a blood vessel in the brain bursts which damages brain cells. Other conditions such as high blood pressure and trauma may also cause an intracerebral hemorrhage. On the other side, subarachnoid hemorrhage is an artery on or near the surface of your brain bursts that spills into the space between the surface of your brain and your skull. This bleeding is often signaled by a severe…
