Introduction

A stroke is damage to part of the brain when its blood supply is suddenly reduced or stopped. A stroke may also be called a cerebral vascular accident, or CVA. The part of the brain deprived of blood dies and can no longer function. Blood is prevented from reaching brain tissue when a blood vessel leading to the brain becomes blocked (ischemic) or bursts (hemorrhagic). The symptoms of a stroke differ, depending on the part of the brain affected and the extent of the damage. Symptoms following a stroke come on suddenly and may include: weakness, numbness, or tingling in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or coordination inability to speak or difficulty speaking or understanding, trouble seeing with one or both eyes, or double vision, confusion or personality changes, difficulty with muscle movements, such as swallowing, moving arms and legs, loss of bowel and bladder control, severe headache with no known cause, and loss of consciousness.
There are following metabolic disorder that may contribute to stroke, excess weight around the waist (waist measurement of more than 40 inches for men and more than 35 inches for women) triglycerides blood level of 150 mg/dL or more, HDL cholesterol levels below 40 mg/dL for men and below 50 mg/dL for women, blood pressure of 130/85 mm HG or higher and prediabetes (a fasting blood sugar between 100 and 125) or diabetes (a fasting blood sugar level over 125 mg/dL).

Latest Trend
(Medication for Cerebrovascular Accident)

Anti-platelet medicines like aspirin, clopidogrel, extended release dipyridamole and aspirin in combination, and ticlopidine help prevent stroke because they keep the blood from clotting. Like aspirin, these medicines keep your blood from clotting. They are available only prescription. dipyridamole and aspirin combination (Aggrenoxl®), clopidogrel (Plavixl®), ticlopidine (Ticlidl®).Anti-coagulant medicines keep you from getting blood clots. You may hear people call these medicines "blood thinners." Warfarin (Coumadinl®) is often used in patients who have heart problems or artificial heart valves. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA or thrombolytic therapy) dissolves blood clots, but it may cause bleeding (including bleeding into the brain).This medicine must be given within 3 hours of the start of stroke symptoms. You will not be given t-PA if your blood pressure is too high, if changes on a CT scan show it should not be given, or if the risk of bleeding is too great. Heparin / heparinoid medicines slow the creating of blood clots. But there is little, if any, benefit in treating stroke. The medicines also can cause bleeding.

2.2 Past Health History Mr. D’s wife verbalized that Mr. D was already been confined on the hospital before due to mild stroke last year December 2008 , while he is in their house he experienced sudden headache, dizziness, numbness, blurred vision and that made his wife to bring him into the hospital. Mr. D was confined for 4 days and after a week he was able to work again as jeepney driver though the doctor said he need to take rest from work, avoid stress, smoking, alcohol intake, and high fat/ salt food to avoid the stroke.

2.3 Present Health History Mr. D was been confined again in the hospital of DPMMH last August 27, 2009 and he spent more than 7 days in the hospital. Mr. D’s wife said that while Mr. D is talking with his friend and drinking alcohol he experienced severe headache, sudden dizziness, paralysis in the right part of his body, numbness, blurred vision and loss of consciousness. And made his family to bring him into the hospital.

3. Lifestyle and Diet Mrs. D said that his husband was a smoke, he consumed more than 30-40 pieces a day (1 1/2 pack) since 20 years old and he also drink 1 bottle of alcohol since 23 years old. Mrs. D said that her husband likes to eat pork after a long day of handling his jeep.

7. Anatomy and Physiology
Cerebellum
The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary motor movement, balance and equilibrium and muscle tone. It is located just above the brain stem and toward the back of the brain. It is relatively well protected from trauma compared to the frontal and temporal lobes and brain stem.
Cerebellar injury results in movements that are slow and uncoordinated. Individuals with cerebellar lesions tend to sway and stagger when walking.
Damage to the cerebellum can lead to: 1) loss of coordination of motor movement (asynergia), 2) the inability to judge distance and when to stop (dysmetria), 3) the inability to perform rapid alternating movements (adiadochokinesia), 4) movement tremors (intention tremor), 5) staggering, wide based walking (ataxic gait), 6) tendency toward falling, 7) weak muscles (hypotonia), 8) slurred speech (ataxic dysarthria), and 9) abnormal eye movements (nystagmus).

Cerebellum
The cerebrum is the part of the brain that occupies the top and front portions of the skull. It is responsible for control of such abilities as movement and sensation, speech, thinking, reasoning, memory, sexual function, and regulation of emotions. The cerebrum is divided into the right and left sides, or hemispheres.
Depending on the area and side of the cerebrum affected by the stroke, any, or all, of the following body functions may be impaired: * movement and sensation * speech and language * eating and swallowing * vision * cognitive (thinking, reasoning, judgment and memory) ability * perception and orientation to surroundings * self-care ability * bowel and bladder control * emotional control * sexual ability

15.
Limbic System
The limbic system is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain structures located on top of the brainstem and buried under the cortex. Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. Such emotions include fear, anger, and emotions related to sexual behavior. The limbic system is also involved in feelings of pleasure that are related to our survival, such as those experienced from eating and sex.
Broca's Area

An area located in the frontal lobe usually of the left cerebral hemisphere and associated with the motor control of speech. Also called Broca's center.
Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobes are involved in the primary organization of sensory input (Read, 1981). Individuals with temporal lobes lesions have difficulty placing words or pictures into categories.
Language can be effected by temporal lobe damage. Left temporal lesions disturb recognition of words. Right temporal damage can cause a loss of inhibition of talking.
The temporal lobes are highly associated with memory skills. Left temporal lesions result in impaired memory for verbal material. Right side lesions result in recall of non-verbal material, such as music and drawings.
Parietal Lobe
Damage to the left parietal lobe can result in what is called "Gerstmann's Syndrome." It includes right-left confusion, difficulty with writing (agraphia) and difficulty with mathematics (acalculia). It can also produce disorders of language (aphasia) and the inability to perceive objects normally (agnosia).
Damage to the right parietal lobe can result in neglecting part of the body or space (contralateral neglect), which can impair many self-care skills such as dressing and washing. Right side damage can also cause difficulty in making things (constructional apraxia), denial of deficits (anosagnosia) and drawing ability.

16.
Occipital Lobe
The occipital lobes are the center of our visual perception system. They are not particularly vulnerable to injury because of their location at the back of the brain, although any significant trauma to the brain could produce subtle changes to our visual-perceptual system, such as visual field defects and scotomas. The Peristriate region of the occipital lobe is involved in visuospatial processing, discrimination of movement and color discrimination (Westmoreland et al., 1994). Damage to one side of the occipital lobe causes homonomous loss of vision with exactly the same "field cut" in both eyes.

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms. The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior. The frontal lobes are extremely vulnerable to injury due to their location at the front of the cranium, proximity to the sphenoid wing and their large size.

13. Conclusion

We therefore conclude that CVA or stroke may lead to permanent brain damage or death to individuals with sedentary lifestyle. People who consumed large amount of food high in cholesterol, alcohol, cigarette smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure can increase the possibility of stroke. This may also lead to heart disease and maybe worsen if we don’t prevent the common factors that cause Stroke. Self discipline is very important for us not to acquire this feared or killing disease.

26.
14. Recommendations

For the Patient and Family Members

Patient and family members should be given proper instruction and knowledge on how to help the patient to cope in his condition. Dealing with emotional stress and changing his sedentary lifestyle can reduce the risk of stroke. Patient way of living should be carefully understand to limit the anxiety and self-pity. Showing emotional and moral support can aid the anxiety and self-pity. If family members adjusted to this kind of treatment to the patient, a fast recovery can be possibly.

For Health Care Provider/ Institutions

Cerebrovascular accident is one of the most common disease that cause dead in the world. It can happen to anyone, especially to those of people who have sedentary lifestyle and most commonly to people who acquired it through genes. Though we don’t know when it will come, we have to be aware of the main factors that bring our lives into danger. Maintaining good lifestyle and avoiding smoking, alcohol intake, high fat and salty food, exercise, and low sugar food can decrease the possible stroke. Health care provider and Institutions should give the enough knowledge to everyone. Dealing with this kind of condition is one of the healthy processes of fast recovery. It helps the patient and family members to adapt this knowledge and behavior for the sake of the wellness of their love ones.

28. The objective of the information in past and future anatomy articles is about generalizations. My intent is not to address specifics. The objective is to provide information and education. The left brain hemisphere, or logic brain, acts as a feature combiner and comprehends spoken language by performing phonetic analysis of the sounds, as opposed to the right brain method of comprehending language by matching acoustic sound patterns. The left brain has the ability to extract isolated details from spoken words or sentences, can generate correct spelling from scratch and can learn from reading by reading for meaning even if the topic is dull. Where the right brain lacks the short-term memory capabilities to be able to follow long sentences and extract their meanings, the left hemisphere can. If a sentence is long and complex grammatically, it falls into the realm of the left hemisphere for comprehension and de-coding for meaning. The left hemisphere is able to work with both slow and rapid speech where the right brain can only deal effectively with slow speech. Complex syntax, semantics, phonics, sight words, new vocabulary (read or heard) are all shuttled to the left brain for comprehension. The left brain is also where re-worded sentences or explanations, even if redundant, are processed. The information processing that one hemisphere isn’t capable of processing is switched to the other via the corpus callosum. The left hemisphere’s speaking and listening vocabulary is almost as large as that for reading and sight and allows it to be able to equally extract meaning from written or spoken words. When we read and hear the words in our head, they’re formed (sub-vocalized) in the left brain because it, and not the right hemisphere, has the ability to de-code written words acoustically. The left brain doesn’t have the ability to handle ambiguity (needs absolutes, clear cut patterns and predictability), doesn’t handle receiving input from changing sources, doesn’t do well if required to make changes in solution strategies or changes in timing of responses. Left is the logical and analytical side and processes information in a sequential manner. It works best with life and projects when they’re presented in a planned and structured manner. It’s the side that works best with multiple choice questions, prefers authority structuring, controls feelings, is future oriented and time conscious, sees distinct right or wrong according to the prevailing cultural/beliefs system and discerns sharp perceptual and conceptual boundaries. This makes the left brain more involved in seeing differences when dealing with others who are felt to be of lower caste or intelligence. Even though the left brain prefers talking and writing it’s also the hemisphere that’s more likely to suspect everyone and alienate friends. Those who are left brain dominant are more likely to buy, buy, buy, test the limits of credit cards (and their ability to pay) clean everything, buy everything and stock up for suspected or unknown eventualities, reorganize shelves, cupboards, retrace their steps and reorganize shelves, etc. perpetually. They’re also more likely to quit their job before being fired. If we go back and review the information on all aspects of the brain it’s easy to see why we have differences and difficulties. Fortunately, few of us are totally dominated by one hemisphere or the other. If that were the case it would be a world of, “In this corner are the right brainers and in this corner the lefties. Prepare your agendas and come out fighting.” Which, by the way, is how we seem to handle most difficult problems anyway? All of us are endowed with two sides of the brain and a way for the information to travel from one hemisphere to the other. The brain is the area that heredity can be the largest or smallest factor in the way we interpret life around us. If we don’t like our life and our health, the brain gives us the means with which to change. The choices are also up to one of the brain’s functions but the mind and the brain aren’t the same.

Cerebrovascular Accident

...erebrovascular accident: 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. A CVA is also referred to as a stroke. Symptoms of a stroke depend on the area of the brain affected. The most common symptom is weakness or paralysis of one side of the body with partial or complete loss of voluntary movement or sensation in a leg or arm. There can be speech problems and weak face muscles, causing drooling. Numbness or tingling is very common. A stroke involving the base of the brain can affect balance, vision, swallowing, breathing and even unconsciousness. A stroke is a medical emergency. Anyone suspected of having a stroke should be taken immediately to a medical facility for diagnosis and treatment. The causes of stroke: An artery to the brain may be blocked by a clot (thrombosis) which typically occurs in a blood vessel that has previously been narrowed due to atherosclerosis ("hardening of the artery"). When a blood clot or a piece of an atherosclerotic plaque (a cholesterol and calcium deposit on the wall of the artery) breaks loose, it can travel through the circulation and lodge in an artery of the brain, plugging it up and stopping the flow of blood; this is referred to as an embolic stroke. A blood clot can form in a chamber of the heart when the heart beats irregularly, as in atrial fibrillation; such clots usually stay attached to the inner lining of the heart but...

Stroke, Or Cerebrovascular Accident

...What is Stroke? Also called CVA, or Cerebrovascular Accident, the stroke is a very interesting medical phenomenon. With more than 800,000 people experiencing new or reoccurring strokes each year (stroke.org), it is hard to just brush this off as another case that doesn’t need to be looked at. Stroke works much like a water hose with a knot in it, in the sense that the water will stop flowing while the knot is present. Strokes happen when blood flow has been restricted from the brain, causing the brain cells that were present in that area to die off. This often results in the victim losing control of one side of the body depending on which side of the brain was attacked, loss of basic motor and communication skills, quick or slow behavioral...

Cerebrovascular Accident Case Study

...NURS3003 WIKI Stoke (Cerebrovascular Accident) Initial Treatment: Initial treatment of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is very time critical, this is as getting treatment in the first few hours can help prevent permanent disability and death (Kim 2017, p. 38). Upon presentation the patient should be examined, focusing on perfusion by assessing airways, breathing and circulation with continuing assessments to ensure oxygenation of the cells and vital organs of the body (Kim 2017, p. 43). While diagnosing the patient the airway and use of oxygen should be applied to prevent hypoxia that can occur due to obstructions and lack of oxygen intake (Kim 2017, p. 43). Additionally, the patient should be ordered isotonic fluids to maintain fluid volume levels in the body, this is due to hypervolemia being a common factor in stroke; during this stage the health care team will be conducting diagnostic assessments to confirm stroke as the diagnosis and to determine the location and severity (Kim 2017, pp. 44-5). Once a stroke is confirmed the physician is able to determine the best treatment regime dependant on the type, location and severity of the stroke; often treated through medication or thrombectomy procedures (Kim 2017, p. 44)....

Cerebrovascular Accidents: A Case Study

...Stokes also known as cerebrovascular accidents are the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of disability (Huether & McCane, 2012, p.389). Over 75% of stokes occurs in individuals 65 and older. The mildest form of stoke can be so minimal that it is almost unnoticed, however in serve form it can leave the individual with hemiplegia, coma, and even death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemia strokes and hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemia stroke occurs when there is a blockage of an artery and hemorrhagic stroke are strokes that is caused by bleeding. Over 87% of stokes are ischemic (John Hopkins, n.d.) During an ischemic stroke even the brain cells and tissue dies due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic stroke can be further divided into two groups including thrombotic strokes and embolic strokes. In a thrombotic stroke a blood clot of thrombus develops in the...

...DQ2-2 School aged Children are increasingly exposed to many hazards that cause accident and injury. The most common causes of injuries in this age group are car crashes, bicycle crashes, and fires. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expands this list to include the following. 1.Motor vehicle (CDC 2012) 2.Suffocation (CDC 2012) 3.Drowning (CDC 2012) 4.Poisoning (CDC 2012) 5.Fire/Burns (CDC 2012) 6.Falls (CDC 2012) 7.Sports and recreation risks. (CDC 2012) Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for children in the United States (CDC). Injuries are not always preventable regardless of their nature. A common sense approach can lead to a reduction in injuries. Driving safely including the proper use of seatbelts or car seats, removal of plastic bags from young children, teaching swimming and supervision when in water, removal of house hold toxins, fire safety, and use of bicycle helmets are taught in school to kids (HHS). The CDC calls for efforts to reduce injuries by focusing on what term the 3 P’s; education, enforcement, and engineering. Education is used by the schools to teach children basic safety. New parents are often taught the proper way to use child restraint seats in the car.

Health and Safety Discussion

...unsafe acts happened and how to prevent recurrence. Was there a hazard analysis of the task/job that the worker was doing? Was the worker properly trained? Were proper procedures in place? Was the workstation and equipment properly designed for the task/job? Was the worker given the proper tools to perform the task/job safely? For example, the video referred to the box cutter as a “finger cutter” but they did not mention that other, safer, tools may be available for the task – they could replace the box cutter with a self-retracting utility knife that retracts as soon as there is a change in pressure, this would prevent recurrence of cuts and be a proper tool for the job. Also, the video focused on the fact that 85-98% of all accidents are whole or part by employees but does not state what percentage is whole and what is part. The contributing factors are very important in preventing recurrence in injuries and the video seems to down play this important factor. This video also reminded me of behavior based safety programs which turns the hierarchy of hazard control measures upside down and attention focused on dealing with the worker instead of the hazardous job conditions. In my opinion, blaming the employee will not prevent injuries from happening again but identifying the hazard and developing controls both before an injury occurs and after is a better way to prevent injuries. However, if a worker blatantly disregards all training, procedures and tools in place...

Human Factors Analysis and Classification System

...Human Factors Analysis and Classification System Abstract As aircrafts become more reliable over the years, humans have progressively become more of a causal factor in aviation accidents. Thus, being able to analyze an accident from a human factor perspective is of paramount importance. However, a proper framework of accident analysis is necessary to address the complex and often nebulous nature of human error. The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System Maintenance Extension (HFACS-ME) is one such framework that serves as an accident investigation and data analysis tool. This article will analyze how HFACS-ME is used from an applied perspective and demonstrate its utility using case studies. Human Factors Analysis and Classification System Maintenance Extension The Human Factors Analysis & Classification System (HFACS) was originally developed to analyze and classify human errors and other factors contributing to aviation incidents. HFACS combines features from Heinrich’s “Domino Theory” and Edward’s “SHEL Model” as well as Reason’s model to uncover factors that contribute to accidents (Schmidt, J. Lawson, D., n.d.). The Maintenance Extension of HFACS termed HFACE-ME was created to address aviation maintenance related incidents and facilitates the recognition of defective or absent defenses at four levels namely, Unsafe: Management Conditions, Maintainer Conditions, Working Conditions, and Maintainer...

Proposal

...To: William “Bill” Hayes, Athletic Director From: Ronnisha Wilson, Head White Team Cheerleading Coach Date: February 17, 2010 Subject: Cheerleading Practice Facility and Injury Assessment Solution Proposal I am writing to propose that a cheerleading specific facility be built and an athletic trainer be hired specifically for cheerleading. The cheerleading program at WSSU rarely has a safe place to practice and there is rarely an athletic trainer present at the practices. About 95% of our athletes’ injuries have occurred with no athletic trainer present. If another sport has practice during our scheduled practice time, our athletes have to practice in the lobby or outdoors. Cheerleading has become more and more dangerous over the years. It is a contact sport with gymnastics put into stunts and pyramids, and requires tossing athletes into the air. Cheerleading is the cause of catastrophic injuries among high school and college athletes. Being a year round sport adds to the danger of the sport; putting extra demands on the body due to no resting period. Injuries are going to happen, but there are measures the university must take to minimize the amount and severity of injuries from every sport. Many safety guidelines have been suggested by the NCAA, Sports Digest, ACCAA and many others. Some suggestions include: * Cheerleaders should have a medical exam before being allowed to practice. * Cheerleaders should be trained by qualified coaches with safety certifications...

...2012 at Copiapo, Chile. The miners went through starvation, having to tolerate the high temperatures of heat, and be in the dark for several days. The owners of the mine failed and have avoided and abandoned what needed to be done to maintain a safe and rescue plan. The rescue team made several holes around the mine as they started drilling; Mr. Urzua motivated the other thirty two miners not to give up. Fortunately, tears from family members of the miners of happiness knowing all the miners trapped were rescued alive. Nobody is prepared when accidents like this occur until it actually happens. What is the owner going to tell the families? What is the owner going to tell his employees? In this paper I will discuss the consideration to remember given the different roles and people in the audience. One of the most important things to remember is to know how to relay the message to the survivor that was affected in this accident as well as the families. It is recommended not to go to the media and make any declarations. The person giving the statement needs to consider when a message is conveyed to the families of the employees due to different roles and the audience. The message can be misunderstood, incomplete or lost and leave the audience without a full understanding of your statement. Therefore the media must be prepared and know how the family members will react to what they are saying about the collapse. Must comprehend...

Accordingly, fear is such a thing that can be explained in different ways. In my life, fear plays an important role.
