Stroke: How to contain the damage When your patient suffers a stroke, you'll find yourself in a race to keep him alive and prevent the neurological damage from spreading. This first of two articles tells you how you can help stabilize the patient during the acute phase of the st...
The research focused on damage to the frontal lobes, the front part of the brain which is known to be responsible for aspects of language, decision making and learning. The team found that people who had damage to their left side were more likely to realise they had made a mistake, and ...
The earliest signs of stroke depend on which parts of your brain are affected and how bad the initial damage is. While one person might just feel a little weak on one side of the body, another might suddenly have trouble talking, walking, and seeing. When you see the following warning si...

Burden of Stroke Attributable to Nonoptimal Temperature in 204 Countries and Territories:A Population-Based Study, 1990–2019(PMID: 38598742) 这是第一个评估非最佳气温导致的全球脑卒中负担的研究。高温造成的负担急剧增加需要特别注意,特别是在社会人口指数低的国家。
You may need any of the following:Blood tests may be used to check how well your blood clots or to check your blood sugar level. CT or MRI pictures may show where the stroke happened and any damage to your brain. You may be given contrast liquid to help your skull and brain show up...
Patients recovering from stroke sometimes behave as if completely unaware of one half of the world: colliding with obstacles on their left, eating food only from the right side of their plate, or failing to dress their left side. This puzzling phenomenon
It's more common among folks who suffered brain damage to the right side of their brain (up to 45% of patients) compared to the left (up to 23%). Not being able to comprehend or navigate space on one side of the body can "can lead to prolonged disability after brain damag...
Pyramidal cells of the hippocampus: Damage causes anterograde amnesia. Purkinje cells of the cerebellum: Damage causes intention tremor, nystagmus, and ataxia. Pyramidal cells of neocortex: Symptoms depend on the affected brain region. Histology: neuronal necrosis with viable glial cells (which can pro...
The critical brain hypothesis states that biological neuronal networks, because of their structural and functional architecture, work near phase transitions for optimal response to internal and external inputs. Criticality thus provides optimal function and behavioral capabilities. We test this hypothesis by...
