Sudden death of the brain cells due to the lack of blood supply to brain may cause stroke. Brain cells quickly die due to lack of blood as blood supply oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products. Based on the parts of the brain affected a stroke may cause paralysis , loss of memory and reasoning ability, impairment, speech coma, or death. A stroke also is sometimes called a brain attack or a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Paralysis Paralysis occur as a result of stroke. One side of the body is affected which is opposite to the damaged part of the brain by stroke. If right side of the brain is damaged, paralysis occur on the left side of the body. This one-sided paralysis is called hemiplegia. Stroke patients with hemiparesis or hemiplegia may have difficulties in walking or grasping objects. Some stroke patients have problems with swallowing, called dysphagia, due to damage to the part of the brain that controls the muscles for swallowing. Damage to the lower part...

Brain is complex and have unique connection of nerves, blood vessels and tissues. It is the center of nervous system and it receives, processes and sends messages to every cell and every part of the body. The information received is from any of our seven senses: sight (visual), sound (auditory), touch (tactile), smell (olfactory), movement (kinesthetic), taste (gustatory) and intuition (spiritual).   Any type of injury to the head or brain can be extremely serious. So always want to get medical attention immediately if anyone suffered any trauma to head.

Stroke can happen to anyone at any age. In fact, research shows among younger people stroke are on the rise.So, it's important to know about the risk factors that affect stroke and work to prevent those that can be managed, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Stroke risk increases with age, but stroke in young people, including infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, does happen. Even though the overall rate of stroke is decreasing, it is increasing for young and middle-aged people. There are several types of stroke, but all of them are caused by decreased blood supply to the brain. The most common type is an ischemic stroke , and they're either caused by a blood clot in the brain's blood vessels, or a blood clot that develops outside the brain and travels to those vessels. In young adults Cardiogenic causes which may include rheumatic heart disease, heart valve abnormalities, and being born with a hole between the right and left side ...

A stroke is a brain attack that can happen to anyone at any time. Strokes often cause temporary or permanent paralysis. Balance, memory, speech, cognition, and vision may also be affected by stroke. In addition, muscle spasms and pain are common complications of a stroke. Communication and swallowing problems are common problems after a stroke. Stroke survivors may have difficulty in managing basic tasks such as bathing and dressing due to these problems. Accordingly, it may be challenging for them to continue to manage their roles as spouses, parents, or employees. One of the most serious complications of stroke is difficulty in communication.  Difficulties with communication can make it more difficult to get information and can affect social relationships, independence and self-confidence.   Here are some of the common communication problems due to stroke: 1.Understanding language (called receptive aphasia). 2.Speaking,including speaking any words ...
