Case Studies in Stroke (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887406169)

A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. It can have severe consequences and is considered a medical emergency. It can cause sudden neurological deficits, such as paralysis, difficulty speaking, and loss of coordination. The most common cause of a stroke is a blockage or narrowing of blood vessels supplying the brain, known as ischemic stroke. Another type of stroke is hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, leading to bleeding. Various factors can increase the risk of stroke, including high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, and a family history of strokes. This book contains some path-breaking studies on stroke. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
