Let’s face it‚ in the eyes of the modern day motocross racer‚ 2 strokes are a thing of the past. But don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that a camshaft equipped bike is superior to the modern day 2 stroke though. The 4 stroke equipped dirt bikes have the upper hand thanks to race rules regarding engine displacement. To help make them competitive they literally doubled the displacement for what is allowed for a 2 stroke. As the 4 stroke evolved and progressed over a few short years it was clear they

STROKE(cerebrovascular accident/Disambiguation) A stroke‚ or cerebrovascular accident (CVA)‚ is the rapid loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This can be due to ischemia (lack of blood flow) caused by blockage (thrombosis‚ arterial embolism)‚ or a hemorrhage. As a result‚ the affected area of the brain cannot function‚ which might result: In an inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body. Inability to understand or formulate

1. Ronald is experiencing a cerebral vascular accident also known as a CVA or in layman’s terms‚ he is experiencing a stroke. Cerebral vascular accidents are very serious medical emergencies that are life threatening. Stroke is a generalized term that explains injury or death of the brain tissue due to interruption of cerebral blood flow (Bledsoe‚ p.g.197). A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to a part of the brain is stopped completely or significantly reduced. With no oxygen supply from the

Ischemic describes an inadequate blood flow. Therefore‚ TIA is a deprivation of blood to the brain for a short period of time. General Information Transient Ischemic Attacks occur in the same way as an ischemic stroke. Both occur when the blood supply to part of the brain is blocked‚ which is why a stroke is known

commonly termed a stroke. It refers to the injury to the brain that occurs when flow of blood to brain tissue is interrupted by a clogged or ruptured artery‚ causing brain tissue to die because of lack of nutrients and oxygen. Causes and symptoms Arterial blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. When arteries are unable to carry out this function due to rupture‚ constriction‚ or obstruction‚ the cells nourished by these arteries die. There are two forms of stroke‚ ischemic‚ which

accident) also known as a stroke is caused by the sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain. The result can be serious disability or death. Each year alone about 150‚000 people in America die from a stroke or are seriously disabled. Stroke is among the top five causes of death.

The mortality and morbidity of CVA in the Philippines is relatively low. There are two types of stroke: 1. Ischemic Stroke is a disruption of the blood supply due to an obstruction‚ usually thrombus or embolism that causes infarction of brain tissue. 2. Hemorrhagic Stroke is caused primarily by an intracranial or
